  • This episode features a very rare machine, the Caterpillar 6020B Hydraulic Mining Shovel (Better known as “Thicc Boy” and the older brother of the 6015B). Reading Anthracite used this machine to open up the cut and strip away all the dirt, muck, and mud to expose the rock for drilling so that the draglines and other machines could come in and mine the coal.

    Do you call it a Hydraulic Mining Shovel or an Excavator?

    • @curtis-thebicentennialist1776
      @curtis-thebicentennialist1776 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Its an Excavator. A Shovel's bucket is turned opposite and digs from bottom up. Although, Cat has decided to mis-pronounce them too.

    • @thegoldensteed
      @thegoldensteed 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      As long as it digs like a standard excavator I'd call it an excavator, however if the bucket is front-facing and it scoops upward to load material that's what I would typically call a shovel.

      It’s an excavator now from time to time I will flip my bucket around and use it as a shovel.

    The 6020 really isn’t the “bigger brother” of the 6015. The 6020 is Cats smallest true Mining Excavator. The 6020 is 2/3 larger in scale, mass and capacities (breakout, production turns/pass match at 100 ton trucks) so although close in numeric description, they are Vastly different machines.

    We have 40 side dumps and when I start a new cut it tests your patients. It’s one thing to loading the same 5 off road trucks but when you have 30-40 different drivers it takes a lot of just stopping for a second and taking a deep breath.

    • @BillRayDrums
      @BillRayDrums ปีที่แล้ว

      That's quite a pace, like bam bam bam one after the other! I think my next career move is gonna be loading trucks with some sort of machine. I like the repetitive nature of the work.

    Why are there really big machines always so slow? Is it because of their sheer size or are the operators just trying to be careful?

    • @AaronWitt
      @AaronWitt  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It’s their size. A lot more weight to move around but you’re also moving a lot more material

    Thanks for the vid. These big excavators are to big. To slow and heavy. I can set up better with a smaller machine and get as good production. Been moving material for over 35 years and oversized excavators are awful. They lose a ton of time resetting themselves. Lots wrong with your whole setup. I’d also never buy a new machine that sound like the hydraulic pumps sound like they are about to grenade themselves. Sorry to be so critical, just truth.
