Very interesting! Are the shuttle cars electrically powered? I see that there is a wire or cable attached to them most of the time. If so, the principle of operation would be similar to trolleybuses, I suppose. While electricity isn't mentioned in the description, there is the reference made to traction motors. That may suggest that the shuttle cars are electrically powered. Happy Holidays, Mr. PeriscopeFilm!!
Formerly made in Franklin Pa by Joy Manufacturing company, now Joy"global". Thanks for eliminating even more good paying job from our once thriving area, Joy.
Taxed out of the country by demonrats, companies aren't companies because they want to play make believe, they want to be as profitable as possible, but they're punished by the demonrats which then destroys revenue for the potential employees
Heaven forbid a driver cage, disposable humans a far better design. Best money spent, safety is first slogans. ROI through the roof. Write off every accident, didn’t read the signs.
Why else would God give us a rock that burns if he didn’t intend on us using it? What are you going to do when the sun ain’t bright enough and the wind ain’t strong enough? Split atoms? One word....Chernobyl

Being a miner myself I love all these mining films

These are electric. You can read about modern day versions at this website: www.joyglobal.com/product-details/shuttle-cars
No ! joe and frank just packed a fresh dip too 🥺
Not much has changed. I hated it when our mine went to stinky diesel shuttle cars. Mechanics nightmare.

Not viable without subsidies, too expensive for a few thousand jobs. Coal industry will be dead in a few years as it should be
But coal is booming now

ummm.......place illuminated hazard signs on all low cross bars.
Another thought: Leave the coal in the ground....Go solar and wind.....

Can't make steel without coke, can't make coke with solar and wind.
