A front shovel loading a haul truck in 9 passes isn't a very efficient pairing. That and the Hitachi operator didn't have full buckets the majority of the time. Not very cost effective. None-the-less, a very fun video to watch.
Ya, a 3600 should be teamed up with a 785, but the digging fleet is pretty mix and match. That shovel started life at another mine close by and was originally teamed up with 785s and 789s.
@Scott Lee … I understand your comment and I’m not being a smartass but what’s the difference if he loads one truck in nine passes or two trucks in 10 passes? If he doesn’t stop moving he’s still loading material.
@@joesmith4050 Hey Joe. It all comes down to cost and making money in the mines. Mining companies drop 2 or 3 million or more on these excavators and massive amounts of money on the haul truck fleets. Ask any rep from CAT, Komatsu, Hitachi or any of the others and they will first off recommend the best pairing of excavator to haul truck to maximize efficiency and keep all of the trucks moving. If the excavator takes 9 passes to load a truck, chances are there are other trucks sitting idle for a longer period of time than is normal as they wait to be loaded, and that down time is money lost for the mine. The more dirt they move, the more ore/coal (or whatever) can be removed and sold.
Watched this video footage about 7 months ago and it's still awesome footage. I would've liked to see where this material is being tipped by the truck driver, looks like asphalt or coal either way I like seeing this type of material tipped either at a crusher facility or gyrator. Also taken and screened at a crusher facility. Keep up the good work
Looks like overburden to me so a dump or road most likely but this is a coal mine and the coal usually goes to a hopper crusher then off to a wash plant

@@CandyCamaroZ28 That makes a lot more sense!

@@scottlee9428 . Thanks for the reply, That makes sense, great explanation.
Not a full bucket?
супер видео!
Не плохо коллега
Bigger shovel like P&H 4100 or bigger hydraulic shovel .
Such a large bucket, and yet it's not loaded completely.
Need a much bigger shovel.
Thank you 🙏 for this video

Nice machine, fun to watch
Vaya palista.Cuantos cazos llevas?.Con la máquina que tienes.🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
How many pounds or tons are loaded onto the trucks??!
793F is rated for 250 US tons. Total gross weight of truck and load is about 890,000 lbs
That's just impressive wow, keep the good work!
Would be better if the operator filled the bucket
Yea and he’d still be tryin to lift it…ol girl struggled heaped if you didn’t notice..he could swung 2 time he fought with one big un
@@charlesmullins3238 Yeah, that one big scoop slowed it down a whole lot. Almost 5 minutes to load is pretty slow.
