When considering earthmoving equipment teams, there is a tendency to overlook material handling systems and focus major attention on excavating equipment. While choosing the right excavator is essential to a high-efficiency earthmoving operation, the method of transportation in open-pit mines is also important. Recently, in-pit conveying has been replacing truck haulage in some open-pit mines. The comparative economics for truck haulage versus conveying in lignite mines is examined.
