Awesome video brang a tear to my eye. Reminded me of when I used to ride with my old man in equipment. Thank You.

@5500Chris Chris, correct me if I'm not mistaken, but the RH400 needs to be a face shovel and needs it's large size to plow into majorly thick overburden. The RH400 is used for certain applications. It is still a quite legit machine in the industry. The Liebherr is indeed a formidable machine as is the Komatsu PC8000. Anything above the monsters I just mentioned you need a rope shovel which come in at over 1400t for the larger ones.

more vids pls, make them from inside the cab and much longer :)

the beast in action, remarkable sight

very nice machines

what a monster great video

excelente video en hidalgo México estuve laborando en una empresa komatsu donde se fabricaron varios pc como el del video fue un orgullo trabajar en komatsu mexicana

Cheese has impressive to see these machines in directo.yo hills was a big quevi RH-90.buen video

that should dig a residential pool in about half a scoop, OF A TRENCH BUCKET hahaha that thing is awsome!

Forgot I posted on this subject just a few posts below. Anyway I added a bit of commentary. I love to see any of the monsters mentioned in these commentaries.

YES......no smoke on the pipes:)

@MARCOMROMANIA - here in Sweden we have two PC5500-6 front shovels. And I have heard a rumor about a mine in Spain that is about to buy a PC8000, although its only a rumor.

Why is the cab on the right?

Wow...the CAT dozer looks tiny beside it!

Harry Stamper, one of the last remaining PC8000 Komatsu Excavator operators in the world, is suddenly contacted by NASA. They tell him a dangerous Kaiju has appeared off the coast of Boston, but luckily NASA has a Gundam machine to fight it. They also have a team ready to go but they need an expert in massive excavator operation to help pilot the damn thing. Harry agrees to help, but only on one condition... he gets to pick the team. *ATLANTIC RIM*

man.... the buckets almost the size of the bulldozer...

@MARCOMROMANIA thereare machines of this size in europe i kno of atleast 2 in scotland

The 5110 is in a completely different size class to a Komatsu PC8000/Liebherr 996, and has no where near as big an engine thats in these, plus these have two engines as opposed to the single (3512?) in a 5110

pity the rh400/ cat6090 doesnt come in backhoe, that would make it a more flexible choice for mining companies who want the big bucket machine. i dont know which is stronger, the face shovel or the backhoe. Depends on the job i suppose...

you realise how big they are then the bulldozer next to them looks like a stone..

How do you know?

Electric, or Diesel?

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know you have a big excavator when it makes that D11 look like a toy.

Great video ! Did you record only these fiew seconds in the cab. I could watch another 30 min just seen from the cab. So if you have some more videos from the cab, please post them

compare to liebherr r 9800 which one bigger??

Awesome!!! How many of them are working across the globe?

unfortunatelly only 730 tonnes:)))

โดนใจ

lol good call 73miracle, kinda like an old demag 740 or 685 lol. hmm.... 70 cubic yard bucket converted to excavater is huge though lol. we got a couple at the mine i work at here, not converted, still front end shovel.

Is it loading a 930E or a 830E?

MODERN HYDRAULIC TREX

We just got a new one last week, was 18 million Australian dollars,

where is it working? country?

probable a couple of hundreds......but at this size is pretty difficult to find them...maybe only South America and South Africa.....for sure not in Europe:)

what s the price of this big monster?

What are they mining here on this site ?,

is that a 10 or 11 cat feeding him?

Considering the fact that the pc8000 has 2 x 1450 kW electric motors needing power at 6600 V to use batteries would be totally counter-productive. Can you imagine the size of the battery bank needed or solar farm? And if you just used a recharging truck with diesel genseet onboard why not just get the diesel drive version? A power cable may have its drawbacks but it is the best solution found yet

You would think, with todays tecnology that the trailing electric cable would be done away with and replaced by banks of batteries. Makes the machine more flexible moving between jobs and when the power supply drops below a certain level, an automatic signal goes out to a "Recharging" truck which comes along with a generator on the back, plugging into the machine as its still working, giving the batteries a topping up! Or in sunny countries, solar panel feilds to power their fleet of E-diggers?

@5500Chris I humbly disagree on this. Overall size of machine does count. The Terex RH400 has to deal with very heavy overburden for the type of mining it needs to do thus it's 1078 tonnes in weight.

Ther will be 2 of these in Bessemer Alabama in a few weeks.

@ExcavatorR9800 im guess they use back hoes for digging down, and front shovel for digging up.

The liebherr is heavier but the komatsu has more power

jjjjjj

I think it´s loading Euclid/Hitachi EH5000

ラジャーＹＹＹ？

trabaja muy despasio la maquina tal ves es porque es muy pesada yo traigo aora una komatsu pc 750 y es muy rapida

Big machine slow to like turttle no exibition on big machine old m...

I agree the machine would not move much quicker but this operator doesn't have a good loading technique - should be get truck in on 45 degree angle and swinging in thru rear of truck and not backing truck in over all those rocks and crap.
