Pelles minières.

Minières excavators above 50 tonnes operate in a different world from construction-class machines. Moteur outputs sur 400-1,500 horsepower, bucket capacities sur 3-12 m³, and 24/7 production duty cycles demand purpose-built drivetrains and operator stations that are closer to industrial equipment than to construction excavators.

On the used market, most 50T+ machines come out sur producing mines and arrive with extensive service records, heavy field wear, and approaching-mid-life major service requirements. Budget realistically for a $50,000-200,000 refurbishment in addition to purchase price for any unité over 5,000 hours in mining service.

Logistics are specialized: these machines ship as deck cargo (not container, not RoRo) and require crane loading at the port sur departure. Plan 60-90 days from purchase to arrival in destination port.
