Coal mine - Inside view of Giant Dragline excavator.

[@simbacaspsun4998]

Whoever is operating that machine is a very good operator. Excellent timing, cables tight and not dragged through the overburden, bucket not swinging around.

Amazing video,from inside the cab,

[@MrDriftspirit]

Gigantic machine! Where ist this? Its not easy to see, but isn" t the showel not really full after draging? There s another video from outside the dragline were its seem s simmilar...

[@steveculbertson9362]

Seems like they could shorten their cycle time by swinging left. The dump appeared to be about 270 degrees going that direction.

Obstacle? Terrain? Can't see in this vid.

[@paulmiddleton4215]

might not be mine property that way.

Ok Man U should write a book Mr know it all

[@wmden1]

It was a long distance and a high lift to dump it, but was probably all the operator could do, under the circumstances. I don't know if I would have the patience to operate one of these. That is a lot of dirt to move and a very large amount of repetition.

[@williammain3247]

Co-workers or equipment on that side?

[@tomjohnston2028]

They are so slow are they really efficient

[@wmden1]

The capacity of the bucket helps, but probably not at the top in efficiency. Slow, but steady. What draglines are better at is handling large rocks, which bucket wheels have a problem with.

Power cable runs behind it. Absolutely cannot drop anything on it tha t may cut it

How many foot of boom and what is the cyd. of your bucket?

[@ma3stro681]

Small bucket for such a huge machine. Are these things really practical … 🤔

[@zaxisontherun]

Until you saw one,large dragline buckets are no joke

[@Railrider765]

Look up ....Big Brutus.

[@williammain3247]

I think the largest bucket in history is 265 yards and they often work in rocky material that would be too much for a bucketwheel machine. See Big Muskie.

[@belacickekl7579]

@@williammain3247The big muskie had 220 cubic yards, which was the largest. Roughly 325 tons. Even the 'smaller' ones now operating with 120-160 cubic yard buckets still lift the equivalent of a mid-sized mining truck every minute and 30 seconds or so, which is why they're so efficient.

[@williammain7281]

@@belacickekl7579agreed and Muskie was specially designed to remove up to 185 feet of overburden. I an skeptical that all the energy which goes into finding the coal seam, building the machine, running the machine, hailing the coal to the breaker and on to the powerplant then recycling Muskie. Add all that up and see what the net energy gain is from the coal burned.

why is the audio on a loop

That's a lot of digging...
