Ok first time on cranes
Have the possibility of a dragline job at a coal mine one of the ponds is full of coal and silt
it just needs to be put on the east side back into the coal pile as it will get put thru the wash house forward is north east is left.
its a sediment pond right next to the raw coal pile
its 650ft x 250ft across 16 ft deep
long reach exc. cant get all of it it would take a 100 ton dragline with 120ft boom that's a big expense getting one in for that
no dozers or amphibious equip allowed in the pit
so I had a thought of a ls78 link belt dragline easy to move in 45ft of boom, the 78 can handle 300ft if wire rope on each drum from what a guy told me
what I would like to know is if a drag line of such could be used more like a sauerman bucket drag no swinging maybe get a small sauerman bucket to use with it.
dozer for dead man
if anyone knows if its possible to make something like this work please explain how
I have worked bulldozing around draglines but never ran one yet so I don't know much about them
I have a 60 ft pc400 exc. but this pond has already had one go around the outside edge they just cant get the main body out
do to reach
