Gonna need one, these won't run on battery for long. Might be good for intermittent use but not anything that runs all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodtick Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 We have electric stuff for inside work ONLY. I can only imagine what a big electric weighs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 There is talk of electrifying the mine where I work fully. The shovels are 100% electric. The trucks could be converted , they would run on like a cable trolley type setup on the main haul roads. This isn’t tiny equipment we are talking. This is the largest equipment in the world or very close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
