Earthquakes have the potential to substantially affect mining operations, leading to supply chain disruptions that adversely affect the global economy.
Anyone know what the fuel consumption is per hour by these marvels? What happens when we run out of fuel to run these behemoths? ( yes this is a rhetorical question)

You have missed P&H model 4100XPC Electric Rope Shovel

Good call. That’s what Rio Tinto Kennecott used to clean up the slide here at Bingham Copper Mine. Their “99” is bigger than my house.

“The world’s largest…in the world…” That one made me laugh. Thanks for the infographic, but seriously the editing is horrid.

Bucyrus was bought by Cat some time ago. Now it´s called Cat 6090. Originally it was the O&K RH400. The former Bucyrus 495HF now Cat 7495HF Rope shovel weights about 1400 tonnes and lifts 100 tonnes, model similar to The P&H4100XPC.
