Highwall Miner

The Bucyrus Highwall Miner is the most efficient technology available for extracting coal in today's market.  It is the first practical highwall mining system capable of mining parallel entries to predetermined depths while linking surface and underground mining operations to maximize mineral recovery and profits.  The Bucyrus Highwall Miner produces thousands of tons of coal in contour-strip operations with narrow benches, previously mined areas, or trench mine applications.

Now in its second generation, the Bucyrus Highwall Miner is a self-contained, remotely operated mining system able to produce an average of 40,000 to 120,000 tons (108,862 metric tons) of coal per month.  Designed for safety, a three or four-man team operates and maintains the highwall miner entirely from the surface.   The Bucyrus Highwall Miner features penetration capabilities up to 1,000 feet (304.8 m), and mining potential on a seam dip up to 8 degrees, permitting recovery of up to 70 percent of in-place coal.
