OverviewThe 1900XPC electric rope shovel delivers the performance expected from larger P&H shovels in a smaller footprint. Equipped with the Centurion electrical control system, it provides strong bail pull and smooth, rapid dipper movement under heavy digging conditions.
Key highlights- Up to 22% less power consumed vs. 1900AL.
- Up to 46% less CO2 released per tonne of material moved compared to equivalent HEX machines.
Features and benefits- Centurion control system and AC drives — Delivers performance and reliability from larger 4100XPC-series shovels in a compact package using P&H Centurion controls and ABB Mining Duty drives.
- Dual planetary propel — Improves machine performance and reduces maintenance with dual planetary transmissions and proven P&H components.
- Twin leg handle — Enables the shovel to penetrate hard materials effectively by focusing force on the bank rather than twisting the dipper.
- Engineered for performance — Designed with advanced simulation tools and high-quality steels; engineered life target approximately 120,000 hours.
- Delta style undercarriage — Proven shoe and tumbler design that minimizes maintenance and supports operation in loose-track configurations.
- Adapted for developing markets — Configurable footprint and supply-chain flexibility to support global deployment, with consideration for import taxes and duties.
