The Cat® HW300 Highwall Mining System

Linking underground and surface mining operations, the Cat Highwall Mining System is a testament to versatile mining equipment. The Cat HW300 offers a safe and innovative method for extracting coal from outcropping seams in a multitude of applications. The industry-leading Cat highwall mining system is a new, low-cost addition to traditional mining methods. The system can produce 40 000-110 000 tonnes (44,000-121,000 tons) of coal per month, depending on seam height. Capable of full operation with a three to four-man crew, the Cat highwall mining system averages 27-36 tonnes (30-40 tons) per man-hour.

Will it dig itself back out if the roof falls in ? Could it potentially get stuck in there?

[@Mike-hf2vc]

James Lindley yes they do get stuck most the time they can get it out I’ve seen 3 that never came out

Can it place material as well? I wonder if you could fill in the excavated holes and then go after the support pillars too.

How do you handle issues with methane or other explosive gas buildup?

[@Maklaka]

Ian Reynolds A methane "sniffing" sensor is placed on the cutting head of the machine. Typically, concentrations of 1% and 2% methane will alarm and trip the machine, respectively.

[@bjellison5666]

+Mark Jones also you are well above the water table methane shouldn't be an issue.

[@TC-zi2yp]

Very cool, I did not know Cat was into mining machines besides the conventional loaders, excavators dozers and trucks.

[@waynep343]

I wonder if one of these cutter heads could be mounted on a D11 blade or on an excavator custom boom to allow the boarder wall construction to be continued over the rocky outcroped hills much faster than currently possible

He didn’t bother to tell you about all the push beams that stay in the mountain that you lose and can’t recover because it’s not financially plausible to dig down to that depth,recover them and put it all back. There is a thousand feet stuck in the mountain where I worked last. Lots of money shot to hell.

Are these only for coal mining or can it be used for metals like iron or copper?

Iron and copper are found in massive hard rock ore bodies that have to be blasted to extract, coal is soft and found in narrow seams that can just be dug out.
