OREANDA-NEWS. December 2, 2011. Walking dragline ESH 11.75 (11 m3 capacity bucket and 75 m long boom) was put into operation at Krasnoselskstroymaterialy pit (Belarus Republic). The dragline was manufactured at Uralmashplant.

New technical solutions developed at the Mining Equipment Division during the recent years are used in the walking dragline. The dragline is equipped with digital control system, centralized automatic lubrication system with components of Lincoln Company (Germany). Operation experience acquired with machines manufactured earlier was taken into consideration, thus the superstructure was reinforced, changes were introduced into the main mechanisms: hoist and drag mechanism, swing and propel mechanisms, shelter for filter and ventilation plants also was made. All this will increase the longevity of equipment operation, decrease maintenance time and costs and increase the dragline output. Besides, at the customer's request changes were introduced in cabin design, which will ease the work of the crew.

The dragline successfully passed the acceptance tests. At the moment the dragline ESH 11.75 is used at preparatory operations but in two weeks it will be used at the main pit. The machine is supposed to be used for stripping operations at two new pits of Krasnoselskstroymaterialy.
