Reliability At Work
Electric rope shovels have been successfully removing overburden and ore on mine sites around the world for more than a century. Driven by a vision to make these highly productive machines safer, more reliable and even more productive, we challenged the status quo and built an electric rope shovel that's better.

TRIED AND TRUE AC IGBT ELECTRIC DRIVE SYSTEM
You will experience greater machine uptime, lower operating costs, and faster cycle times via our AC electric rope shovel designs that leverage institutional knowledge built on 30 years of experience commissioning more than 200 AC equipped machines worldwide.
A SIMPLER SYSTEM
A streamlined AC system design that runs smoother, has fewer parts, and is easier to maintain, are the benefits you will realize, and the result of three decades of continuous improvement.
A single, centralized control rack reduces parts requirements, eliminates communication issues between racks, and simplifies maintenance
A single, compact drive cabinet houses the controller and drives to simplify assembly, troubleshooting, and maintenance
Fuses, circuit breakers, and line filters have been eliminated reducing potential points of failure and overall parts requirements
Parallel inverters have been removed to prevent uneven loading and to reduce the number of inverters required by the system
The IGBT modules have been designed to be interchangeable between inverters and Active Front Ends (AFEs) and between motions and machines
Your safety remains our highest priority, and is evident in our AC system design
