Komatsu and Hitachi star in this first film about hydraulic excavators that can be found at work, in Britain’s surface coal mines. See 250-tonne PC 3000s, the Dash-6 which is currently the biggest and newest Komatsu excavator, in Britain! They dwarf the Cat 777F dump trucks that are getting loaded with overburden. See one of the largest Hitachi excavators - the EX 1900s, that came in at 190 tonnes! Among the face shovels and backhoes are the O&K RH 120-Cs, still going strong after 20 years. Watch the extraction of coal from sites previously worked underground. |
