The Cat® HW300 Highwall Mining System

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

Whoever made this video needed a raise.

Caterpillars videos here are so amazing! Love mining videos and big mining equipment. Thanks to cat for this great vids here :)

[@jameslindley8318]

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

What's the possibility of the pocket being mined collapses

[@cayleependerass]

That's for the tax payers to worry about. The mine owners don't care about the ecological effects.

[@H0kieJoe]

@@cayleependerass You know nothing about the mining or permitting process.

[@JohnDobak]

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

[@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

[@coloradostrong]

_Border_ wall not "boarder" wall.

[@curtis-thebicentennialist1776]

Isnt Gainway Cat in India building these machines now? Will they export them to the US Cat dealers to sell and service?

[@AzNpowangeFTW]

I'd like to buy one of these for my backyard as hobby. How much?

[@pyroboypro]

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.

[@boonekeller5275]

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

[@littlewazz]

i was wondering the same thing

[@ats-3693]

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.

[@rajenghasi8332]

[@travisshrewsbury7169]

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.

[@mikeznel6048]

[@franzmuller9058]

Die Anlage müsste die Löcher mit Abraum wieder verfüllen können (verdichten), um danach die Stützen abzutragen. Sonnst beutet man die Lagerstädte nicht zu 100% aus.

[@poloska9471]

True, but on the other hand, without this machine one doesn’t exploit the site at all.

[@apfelkopf_7617]

You better fill those holes with something afterwards, otherwise you'll have some unstable ground there.

[@brianbassett4379]

They certainly don't ever comment about that, do they?
