Shovels. How do you find the right one for your mine. Where do you start. Because capital costs for a fleet of shovels run into millions of dollars, proper planning can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars down the road. To help you make the most intelligent choice and use of these equipment resources, the authors analyzed ''electric'' shovels (also called cable shovels or wire rope shovels) and hydraulic shovels. This article is designed to answer those questions you may have concerning shovel selection, productivity, and operation.
