Technology that works as hard as you do

P&H 4800XPC electric rope shovel loading mining truck
The Argus Payload Monitoring System weighs each bucket in real-time, which helps eliminate the need to stop and calculate payload before loading the truck. Immediate feedback promotes loading accuracy, while peer benchmarking works to reinforce best practices to improve operator performance. 
P&H 2800XPC electric rope shovel
The ProVision Machine Guidance System promotes increased operator efficiency and productivity through the use of high-precision global navigation satellite system (HP-GNSS) positioning. Capable of providing up to 1 cm accuracy, the ProVision System helps guide shovel operators to dig the right material, keep the designed bench grade, respect dig limits, and work within the machine’s prime operating specifications. The system also provides guidance to truck operators to help promote precise spotting at a loading unit.
