The Silver Spade Giant Power Shovel The Silver Spade was a giant power shovel used for strip mining in southeastern Ohio. Manufactured by Bucyrus-Erie, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the model 1950-B was one of two of this model built, the other being the GEM of Egypt. Its sole function was to remove the earth and rock overburden from the coal seam. Attempts to purchase and preserve the shovel from Consol to make it the centerpiece of a mining museum exhibit for $2.6 million fell short, and the shovel was dismantled in February 2007. RIP
I live in Southeastern Ohio and I used to watch it work in Belmont County Ohio I drove coal bucket and it had to cross interstate 70 we got to remove all the dirt it put on the highway in order to cross just West of Belmont County in Ohio right around Cambridge Ohio. The bucket is steel in around Pope County South on I-77, between Ohio river, Marietta and Cambridge Ohio. Just the bucket you could park about 12 cars and 4 semis in it. And there was still Room To run around.
Back in 1936 the largest shovel of its kind ( Ransomes & Rapier 5360 ) worked in the quarries at Corby UK then in 1950 the largest dragline to be built was the Ransomes & Rapier W1400 again constructed on site to work at the Priors Haw Quarry at Corby UK. Largest machines in the world at the time and British !
The U.K. has a bad habit of abandoning its magnificent achievements. How many Brits know about those great machines you mentioned? And how many know about the latest personal pronouns and JSO?
Yeah it is.. I have never seen such a huge shovel before!😲the people on the ground are like ants next to it. If I got a chance to stand next to it and look at it and touch it, I wouldn't pass it up. Is it still around or did they do something horrible like break it up? I hope it's not the latter.. I would be extremely sad.
I only discovered posts of The Silver Spade a few days ago. I was wondering if it was ever used to load the big haulers. Without any good perspectives against other equipment, I only figured it was too big to load, until I saw it here with the wheeled dozer, in the foreground. Half a bucket would bury a mining dump truck. An impressive machine. My favorite, so far.

Yes its amazing size of this monster. But very primitive how its making move forward. Its a parabel for the usa: a great bubble must clear its way with some metalplats or it will sink into earth.
if this is the 'improved' version, I don't want to see the older version. The shuttle crawler moving at 1 mph can beat this dinosaur in a drag race, hands down. What's it cost to operate this behemoth per hour? Couldn't they use 2 front-end dozers and drag the mats around from the other side? or is this a government job where 5 guys watch as the other guys screws in the light bulb atop a ladder? Does the "Silver Spade" still exist?
@@bethanyhaskiell9116 OK..I guess that makes some sense..figured they'd do a few surveys before moving that multi-million dollar peace of equipment around on ground they didn't know could hold it.

The bucket would make a nice 2 car garage. Absolutely astonishing that something that size could be built with human ingenuity and vision
It's only when you get something comparable in the frame such as these guys that you realize how big this silver spade really is. It's intimidating.

Awesome. They should have named it the rusty spade.
It you worked as long and as hard as The Silver Spade digging overburdened you would have a little rust on you too

If it was a race between this thing finishing a quarter mile and you saying something funny this thing would certainly finish first....

Its unimaginable how big that thing had to be in person that's insane on a level very few know

Lays metal mats that would not sink when moving forward.
These mats are wood. Made from beams thick than railroad crossties bolted together.

I'm interested to know if someone can tell me why is the machine e.g. Silver Spade so big in relation to the bucket compared to a normal excavator?
70 plus yards to 3 to 5 yards.

it depends on the type of overburden it is designed to remove.

Hi there. The silver spade was scraped in 2007.
Never in a million years would I have thought that big sucker would need matting boards...
Is it because it's crossing a road or something?
They could only travel on rock or mats if they would hit soft ground they could sink and tip over like one of Peabody's shovel did
