Crawler rope shovel 2300XPC AC

trackedmining and quarrying

Product overview
P&H 2300XPC combines the functionality of a high‑performance rope shovel with the practicality and footprint of a smaller machine. Engineered for high‑production mining operations, the series is suited to coal, copper, iron ore and gold sites worldwide.

• Up to 51% less CO2 release per tonne of material moved compared to equivalent HEX machines
• 12% lower cost per tonne of material moved compared to equivalent HEX machines

Key features and benefits

• Centurion control system and AC drives: Performance and operational reliability derived from the larger 4100XPC series, integrated with ABB Mining Duty AC drives for efficient electrical control.
• Dual planetary propel: Dual planetary transmissions for improved propel performance, reduced maintenance and proven P&H reliability.
• Twin leg handle: Twin‑leg dipper handle design improves penetration of hard banks and reduces dipper rotation under load.
• Engineered for performance: Designed using advanced simulation tools and manufactured in high‑strength steels for extended service life.
• Delta style undercarriage: Proven shoe and tumbler arrangement that minimizes maintenance and permits operation with a loose track configuration.
• Adaptable to developing markets: Scalable footprint and global supply chain options to address import duties and local support requirements.
