Excellent vid, love the Komatsu shovels, I'm looking at least 5-7 years before I can get on an O&K here with my company in the oilsands. When I'm getting loaded I notice that they seem almost too fast for there size, and I mean any video of the RH400 on TH-cam does not do it justice. At aurora we run 9 electrics and 2 hydraulics.
@modernhumble Yes almost hydraulic excavators can be switched over to a backhoe. It's what you call the machines configuration- as a Backhoe or Shovel
excelent footage, mate! I wish I had the money to get on the training course! -First thing I would be doing with my lottery money if I won! Its a bit quicker than the rope shovel, only load about half as much but some companys are going for the bigger faster option now!
I still think a excavator will out dig a shovel, or are the shovel videos iv'e seen jus had slow operators, cos i aint been impressed by them. A R9800 excavator can load a 793 in 1 minute.

Watching that thing walk reminds me of the scene in "A Fish Called Wanda" when Ken was going after Otto with the roller.

Great camera angle! Was the driver of that second truck hung over from a hard weekend or something?

thanks for another great video
looks a good machine does it have the break out force to dig unshot rock?
Please, less blue screens, less cuts, just show the machine working, it's poetry.
@PAmining Just out of curiosity, what material are they mining here ? I dont recognise the colour and Im wondering if its a precious metal.
Oh Yes!This Komatsu looks awesome!
Besides, 6 years and still looks new?
Thats a serious piece of kit!
The 5500 is ever more cool! This one runs on a single 8hr shift 5 days a week
In hydraulic shovels? Komatsu. These are German (Demag) designed machines, top knotch

Thanks! Fast and powerful
Thanks! Nope, shovel operator was just busting his balls (he's good at it) lol. 3 passes in soft material. 4 in hard material.

Your welcome! Its all German engineering. No machine can dig through unshot rock lol. That's why you blast
