Looks like overburden to me so a dump or road most likely but this is a coal mine and the coal usually goes to a hopper crusher then off to a wash plant

Ya, a 3600 should be teamed up with a 785, but the digging fleet is pretty mix and match. That shovel started life at another mine close by and was originally teamed up with 785s and 789s.

@@CandyCamaroZ28 That makes a lot more sense!

@Scott Lee … I understand your comment and I’m not being a smartass but what’s the difference if he loads one truck in nine passes or two trucks in 10 passes? If he doesn’t stop moving he’s still loading material.

@@joesmith4050 Hey Joe. It all comes down to cost and making money in the mines. Mining companies drop 2 or 3 million or more on these excavators and massive amounts of money on the haul truck fleets. Ask any rep from CAT, Komatsu, Hitachi or any of the others and they will first off recommend the best pairing of excavator to haul truck to maximize efficiency and keep all of the trucks moving. If the excavator takes 9 passes to load a truck, chances are there are other trucks sitting idle for a longer period of time than is normal as they wait to be loaded, and that down time is money lost for the mine. The more dirt they move, the more ore/coal (or whatever) can be removed and sold.

@@scottlee9428 . Thanks for the reply, That makes sense, great explanation.

793F is rated for 250 US tons. Total gross weight of truck and load is about 890,000 lbs

That's just impressive wow, keep the good work!

Isn’t

Yea and he’d still be tryin to lift it…ol girl struggled heaped if you didn’t notice..he could swung 2 time he fought with one big un

@@charlesmullins3238 Yeah, that one big scoop slowed it down a whole lot. Almost 5 minutes to load is pretty slow.
