- P&H 757 walking dragline known as the “Ace of Spades”, which worked at the Stobswood open cast mine in Northumberland.
Built in the 1980’s at a cost of around fifteen million pounds, the P&H 757 weighed in at 4,000 tonnes, had a total machine power output of 11,689kw (15,690hp) and a bucket capacity of 65 cubic- yards.
During the machines time at Stobswood, it moved an estimated 300 million tonnes of spoil.
The machine which got its name from a local school children’s “name a digger” competition was retired in 2003 after it simply out grew the jobsite.
The machine was eventually sold to an American mine, where it resumed its duties in 2011.
Absolutely perfect Andy, your best so far. 👌
Only took 5 years to find it and do the video
I wonder how many men spent how many hours welding on that piece of iron....
Why was the bucket left there ????
They closed the mine down and left it as a reminder I think. I think that the dragliner went to the states.
