I reckon some sort of water-penetrating radar, (if there is such a thing), mounted at the sheave at the top of the boom pointing straight down and giving a 3D representation for the Operator would be very useful for maximising bucket fill and optimising production would be a good idea. Presently the Operator has to make an educated guess as to what the bottom of the cut looks like. In Forestry we use a system called Lidar to see through the forest canopy and get a representation of the terrain beneath.
I watched them put that together also, AC brought it from there mine in Branford... I had been running a Lima 2400 for MM mine next door but I went to work for Florida Rock And ended up pouring the concrete pads for the Electrical transformers on the dirt road there For this AC mine...!! It’s supposed to be an 18 yard bucket on that Page..!!
Cool vid, don't get to see dragline working from this perspective. Another cool angle would be if you could fly the drone inside the bucket as he swings. Oh and what is your song here?
Isn't this the one that fell in? His they fix it? Is it still running or did it get scrapped? There is a video of the salvage but the comments are shut off.
I came here to enjoy keyboard experts tell us all how the operator is doing it wrong. A little disappointed that it’s just folks complaining about the music. Interestingly enough, my device has volume control. I just turned the music down. It’s easy.
Nice video... Would be good to know what they are actually doing, what the end result is, are they constructing a marinea or just dredging for sand.... Does anyone know....
If they are still doing today what they were doing in the 80s .....They will mind the sand and rock out of the area and when it's done they will develope the shore with houses and sell them for "lake front property"
