Amazing Komatsu PC4000 Excavator/Front Shovel Digging Overburden

In today’s video you’ll see the Komatsu PC4000-8 excavator in action, stripping fine overburden with no blasting involved at all. The material gets loaded into haul trucks and dumped into a transportation system made up of around 2 miles (3 km) of conveyors, carrying the overburden all the way to an old pit where it’s used for backfilling. With a bucket capacity reaching around 22 cubic meters (29 cubic yards), the PC4000-8 is built for serious mining production, loading massive amounts of material in every pass while working nonstop in mud, soft ground, and harsh mining conditions. #truck #komatsu #excavator
