MINING EXECUTIVE
Magazine FEBRUARY 2020
P&H electric shovels are designed and built to help mines
move more material at a lower cost per ton. Equipped with a
nominal payload of 122.5 metric tonnes (mt), dipper
capacity of 65.7 to 70.3 m3 (86 to 92 yd.3), adaptive
controls technology, direct-drive crowd with integral fleeting
sheave to help eliminate boom jacking and optimized boom
design for improved maintenance access, the loading beast
will take its rightful place and give Komatsu a huge edge
over its competitors.
The P&H 4800 is so good that it can easily load in threepasses
a 360mt ultra-class haul truck. The 4800XPC, when
compared to its predecessor, the 4100XPC, offers up to 20%
increase in production and up to 10% decrease in cost per
ton.
It took a journey to get the monstrous machine running with
Komatsu working to establishing a new facility for its
Western Canada supply missions at a staggering value of
$40 Million dollars down in Sparwood, British Columbia.
The shovel eventually found its way to Fording River
Operations, located about 29 km northeast of the community
of Elkford, British Columbia. Being one of Teck's, Fording
River produces steelmaking.
The mine targets an annual production of 9.0 Mt with Life of
Mine at Fording River projected beyond 43 years. “So very
proud of the Fording River team on the commissioning of
the world's first P&H 4800 XPC Shovel. Thrilled to have
this addition to our fleet. First ever 3 pass loading of an
ultra-class haul truck,” Jason Wood, Fording River Manager
of Operations was quoted saying.
