DRAGLINE 1570 W

[epsilon292]

Looking at the age of the last posts, I don’t expect a quick response, but anywho. Any idea what the rated size of the synchronous motors are for this dragline and what is the peak motoring demand power and peak regenerating input power is. Got a bit of a utility supply problem with the electrical demands of a similar dragline...

@epsilon292

No idea of the specs but search the coments and you will find a guy who worked on this exact dragline.

I made this video 5 years at the Black Butte Mine near Point of Rocks, WY. (Thank you to phantomdarkness69) as well as others who have supplied information.

This is a dragline in operation at the Black Butte Mine near Point of Rocks, WY. It is not as far as I know a training machine. Black Butte Mine is one of the largest surface coal mines in the country.

[egr1955]

I ran one just like this for twenty years.

[am189]

i build the tub bases for this machine 1570 means for every 15foot in diameter for the tub base can hold70 feet of boom

in the past the biggest tub i built was 655 inches in diameter

[Rugdopey]

i was on the dragline

[TOWERVIDEOS]

@Rugdopey

WOW Where was it when you were on it?

[SuperSpanky1989]

that is the the drag line from black butte and it is the coolest sight in the world to see a drag line working

[GILLETTEWILDHOCKEY]

so this isnt near gillette for one of the mines?

[ihaveaverybadcold]

i drove by this crane i believe the other day....it was on 80 on my wasy to salt lake.....the thing is huge

[WKHalford]

@ihaveaverybadcold This is a dragline, not a crane. Big difference.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@WKHalford who really cares

[WKHalford]

@ihaveaverybadcold People that know what they are talking about care.

And if YOU don't care, then why even bother to post a comment to this video to begin with?

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@WKHalford dont worry man....youll get over it

[WKHalford]

@ihaveaverybadcold There was nothing to "get over", especially when it's concerning someone that doesn't know what they are talking about, and even more so when they have an attitude with someone who does know.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@WKHalford it sounds like you need to get over it...and i got great news....you will!!! yay!!!

[WKHalford]

@ihaveaverybadcold Wow, for someone who said "who really cares", as if they don't care, you sure are posting a lot. People that don't care don't post.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@WKHalford i just like pissin you off LMAO...youll get over it

[WKHalford]

@ihaveaverybadcold I'm not pissed. I'm amused. Amused that someone could be so stupid as to call a dragline a crane, especially since the video is clearly labeled "dragline".

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@WKHalford lol....no you pissed buwhahahahaha

[WKHalford]

@ihaveaverybadcold Awwwwwww, did I make the ignorant troll cry when I showed him/her/it that he/she/it was wrong?

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@WKHalford again i could care less about this crane.....i like pissin you off....and im doin a dam good job LMAO

[WKHalford]

@ihaveaverybadcold Again, if you don't care, then why post? And why keep posting? Your actions contradict your words. That makes you a hypocrite.

Again, you are so stupid and obviously have such poor reading comprehension that you can't tell it's a dragline even when the title says so.

Again, I'm not mad. You saying I am makes you a liar.

So you are a hypocrite, are stupid, have poor reading comprehension, and are a liar.

But please don't cry because I again told the truth about you. Ha Ha.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@WKHalford i dont care...about this crane....i do care about pissin you off....your confusin a situiation to make like im a hypocrit...prolly why your divorced

[WKHalford]

@ihaveaverybadcold Wow, there is nothing here to back up what you said and so you make up things?

All I'm doing is going by what you have posted, how much you have posted, and what all this shows about your attitude. With all that said, the FACT that you say you don't care and the FACT that you have posted so much DOES make you a hypocrite.

Not only do you make yourself look stupid in what you say, but your poor spelling makes you look even more STUPID.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@WKHalford dude just get over it ....it will be ok

[33935656]

not from wyo, but have been around strip mines all my life,i don't think i've seen overburden this dusty. the operator is lucky to be dumping down wind. love this site.

[whiteraven17708]

i am a machinist who has done alot of work on this particular machine, if memory serves the tub is about 60' still big, but the 90' tubs are on the much larger machines the 1570's are fairly small yet

[cowboy307wy]

the tub that is sits on is a 90' wide

[cowboy307wy]

i was a welder that put new wear plates on the bottom of the tub on this dragline in may of this year and ever did crack repair in the tub and in the balis box. I have even helped change the drag gears out on its brother the coyote

[orkneyboy4life]

thats a dragline (huge)

[birchmandude]

it has a 78 yd. bucket.

[birchmandude]

It's a 1570 W Dragline, it is not a training machine, He was short dumping (dumping inside of boom radius) Which is a pretty tough thing to do at pad level, that is why the ropes were slapping together. draglines aren't built to short dump.

[generationll]

This has go to be BE2570.There are 3 of those in the state of Indiana

[vjsuperstore]

THAT WAS TOTALLY GREAT ,,,,,

[STOPBATH777]

Thanks for the up-date. The way the operator was letting the drag cables slap together I figured he was a new-b.

Hey Stopbath, you seem to know a bit about these things. I'm a recruiter for service guys for these if you know of anybody in that role.

[ba22acuda]

we use those to load coal at our mine

[pennyndoug]

Hi ba22acuda, if by any chance you know any service guys on these things that might be looking for a job, I'm a recruiter for these big monsters.

[ditto1957]

Looks like B&E 1250 dragline. "Git-R-Dug"

[xeronicus]

you want something expensive to run try using a bucket chain excavator.....

[braddsn]

VERY cool!!

[peterbiletlloyd]

thats a big dragline is that the one by the interstate

[STOPBATH777]

Yes on the S. side near Rock Point Wy. Do you know is this a training machine?

[gfriedline]

I kinda doubt that any mining company would have the money to spend on using this machine as a trainer. Its a rather large Bucyrus. I think that trainers are ussually much smaller maybe around 10-30 yd3 range. This machine costs a lot of money to be running, so it is most likely doing something important, either stripping a seam, or reclaiming a past one.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@peterbiletlloyd  is this on 80 on the east side i think i seen it going towards salt lake...
