Your business success depends on your ability to find strong partners, including suppliers of manufacturing services.

P&H Mining Equipment is a global leader in the manufacture and service of pace-setting large excavating and drilling machines used to mine copper, coal, iron ore, silver, gold, diamonds, oilsands, phosphate, molybdenum, potash and other minerals and bedded materials. Ninety percent of the world’s surface mines utilize P&H equipment.

An Enduring Symbol of Reliability
The company was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1884 and its headquarters remain there. P&H products have been known for their reliability and durability for well over a century, and the company has long been recognized for outstanding service support. P&H equipment operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in harsh climates and at all altitudes. In a business where one minute of downtime is valued at $1000 to $3000, reliability is critical and quality a given.

P&H offers three major product lines - electric mining shovels, rotary blasthole drills and walking draglines. The company is committed to innovation and continual product enhancement.

The World’s Most Productive and Reliable Shovels
The company’s flagship product line is the C-Series of electric mining shovels, including the 4100XPC, the powerhouse of the industry. The shovel carries up to a 115 ton payload in one scoop and can load today’s giant mining trucks in just three or four passes with the fastest cycle time in its class. Today’s shovels, powered by sophisticated Centurion control systems, are as much about “smarts” as they are about brawn. P&H shovels are the workhorses of the mines, extracting and loading the ore body for haulage to processing.

Draglines Deliver Gigantic Performance
P&H walking draglines are among the largest mobile units in the world. A dragline stands 22 stories high, is 400 feet long, and weighs 5700 tons. Its bucket takes bites the size of a four-car garage. P&H draglines are the powerhouses of the industry in overburden removal and reclamation activities in coal and phosphate. The newest mega-machines are at work in Australia and Canada.

Offering the “Hole Package” in Drilling
The broad line of P&H rotary blasthole drills deliver well crushed rock to the excavating and loading equipment, saving wear and tear on the equipment while providing better quality rock to the crushing and processing operations. Efficient, customized drilling systems are at the front of the mining process and can lead the way to lowering cost per ton or per hour of production.

Upgrades Deliver Increased Performance
High tech production aids like microprocessor based digital drives and semiautomatic operator assists, drive the performance of new P&H machines. Many of those aids can be applied to the large installed base of P&H equipment as upgrades to generate even greater returns on existing equipment investments.

The company provides mechanical as well as electrical upgrades and also assists customers in getting greater performance from other brands of equipment through P&H upgrades.

Specialized Manufacturing Strength
P&H Manufactures its brawny equipment in Milwaukee, Australia, Brazil, China and South Africa. Not surprisingly, the machine tools used to manufacture P&H's earthmoving giants - welders, boring machinery, and gear cutters - are among the largest in the world. A highly skilled workforce makes it possible for the company to meet such impressive engineering and manufacturing challenges.

A recent capacity expansion in 2005 and 2006 has increased OEM output by approximately 40%.

Genuine P&H Parts Assure P&H Performance
P&H replacement parts are continually upgraded to take advantage of what is learned from the base of over 1000 machines operating globally in rugged applications. Genuine P&H parts provide a difference that translates into the greatest reliability and longest life in the toughest mining service, delivering lowest cost per ton.
