Caterpillar 385 in the mining industry
Different types of machines are used during mining activities. The machines used the most on mining land are: bulldozers, hydraulic excavators and wheel loaders. Each of the aforementioned machines has its own function that they can fulfil. A bulldozer, for example, can move heavy rocks from a mine.
Excavators used in the mining sector often have the function of excavating earth from the mine. Work can be better performed because earth is excavated from the mine. Raw materials can then be more easily extracted from the ground because they are more readily accessible. Excavators used in the mining sector can be subdivided into different types. The type used the most is the hydraulic excavator. These machines can excavate a huge quantity of material from the ground within 1 hour. Hundreds of cubic metres of material are removed from the ground.
