P&H 2800 Electric Rope Shovel

Tyler-that looks great! Your dipper door looks like it is heavy enough to latch itself. The machine must have been made by someone who knows these shovels very well.

Yeah from what I see it does latch it’s self with gravity so far. He use to work on these shovels daily, so he took all the measurements, specs and timing and such and built it to as close to scale as he could. It’s crazy if you compare parts of the 2800 to this model how much to scale and built to be the same function and look it actually is.
