The videos along these lines have been mostly virtual advertisements for loading shovels. The actual largest shovels were the high wall stripping shovels, such as The Silver Spade, The Gem of Egypt, Big Brutus, etc. Some had 100 plus, cu yard buckets, which would bury the hauling trucks in this video, with one bucket. Big Brutus, which, thanks for showing a little of here, might be the only one left, was not the largest of its kind, by any means, but was large enough, and is an inoperable museum, at present.
My friends aunt and his dad helped make the bucket of the Big Muskie. It was used in Eastern Ohio. The machine is gone but the bucket is still around by Bristol Ohio
Cool 👍😊. My friends dad helped build the pad for the space shuttles and I think late 90s Paul helped rebuild it to. Paul and his sister ( dang old age I can't remember her name) talked to me for hours after Paul and his son with my dad and myself stopped at the bucket of the Muskie.
I'm 56 and for the past 6 1/2 years I have been working at a small stone quarry .my main job is front end loader operator but sometimes the crushing plant and the 6 wheel drive truck or a cat d 6 dozer.😊👍. I tell people that I still play with Tonka toys .
I worked at P&H Mining Milwaukee Wisconsin as engineering contractor 1996 - 2002. The redesign of 4100XPB and 9020 dragline that went to Australia. It took 4 years to redesign and 2 years to build at job site.
Berkeley Forge (Now Bierwith Forge) has designed the Optima shovel lip system for P&H with the largest one as OP110( WH 12 back in the year 2005. Now it has the latest design of the shovel lip system named as slick lip used on a P&H 2800 in a Mississippi lignite coal mine.
It's not a bell. It's a guide marker so that when the shovel is set up in the pit for double back up, the trucks are able to use that to spot themselves on their blind side. It helps eliminate the need for the shovel operator to spot the trucks, moves more material and improves efficiency in the mine.
The one shovel load truck was p&h 5700 I work coal bc canada the visist the shovel under construction this was huge.the australia coal and iron ore was on list.this was one in australia run long time.
The catch is a sliding bar attached to the bucket's door, & the bar slides into a rectangular slot on the bottom edge of the rear of the bucket. The sliding bar is moved out of the slot in the bucket by a mechanical linkage arrangement, which is actuated by the cable (rope) seen in the video. The mechanical linkage arrangement is designed to maximize mechanical advantage, to provide the necessary force to move the sliding bar. Once the sliding bar is moved out of the bucket's slot, the bucket door opens (falls open under gravity), & the excavated material falls from the bucket. To close the bucket's door, the sliding bar re-engages into the bucket's slot (under spring force, I believe) as the bucket moves from a horizontal position to a more vertical position. I hope this helps; a diagram showing the bucket door latch mechanism would have been helpful with my explanation.
The way you present your content is professional and easy to understand. thank you for sharing

Since the last few month, you finally came down start to speak more calm and relaxed. Very nice to watch you're clips now. Thank you
Computer generated voice reading a script. You can tell because it speaks the typos.
The transition effects in the video make me very excited. Huge machines
My dad was the head welder on the bucket for the Big Brutus.

My dad planted a tree once.
Interesting list! Out of curiosity, how do these rope shovels compare in terms of their efficiency and environmental impact?
Fascinating list! Curious about the criteria used for ranking - was it solely based on size or performance too?
Alpha Coal in Wyoming has a Bucyrus 495 with a 90 yard bucket that can load a 400 ton Cat 797 in 3 passes
Now that’s what you call a mega machine 🤯😳
Oh, the memories, of Tonka in the sandpit.

Have you done a video showing a rope shovel being assembled?
That would be interesting to watch.

9100 what is that a beefed up 9020 kinda like how Bucyrus had the WS version of the 2570 and 1570
@@bethanyhaskiell9116 oooops I ment to type 9020
amazing machines

Excellent video
Big Brutis is just a small shovel compère to some that have been scrapped ,it’s properly the largest still here ,not the biggest built
You would think that a channel that “specializes” in heavy equipment would actually know how to pronounce “Bucyrus”!
*Now let's just wait until those mining shovels turn into Decepticons.*
9:50 is that a bell hanging off the back?

Ha guy makes a video by reading marketing brochures and gets near 1000 thumbs up.
Please lose the music. Thank you.
The music is louder than you.
95 Ton/Digging.

Nothing like listening to a bot describing machines...
I meant to say Bucyrus
It is Cyrus, you see a K in there you’re mispronouncing it, Cyrus
what baffles me about these grat shovels is how the bucket is opened by a pull on a little rope!
How doe sthe catch work that it is so easily opened?

WK nice 4100 copy
We have Electric shovel tail line retracting vehicle
❤❤❤
how about . .big muske
