Great video of a great machine Loza. One of the best and still in good condition thanks to you and the team at Ensham. A real pity about the end of life, but that's mining I guess. Still the best place I ever worked. Thanks for the video mate. Take care.
Any chance of a walk around the engine room. I’ve always wanted to see one up close. But closest I will ever get is seeing the boom from the highway in the hunter
Michael, this is one of four machines that are probably all going to the scrapper's torches. Sad but a fact of the times I'm afraid. Nobody wants big draglines any more it seems.
@@parkfarm233 Very sad to hear that Ensham open pit is shutting down, even more after all the effort that was put into rebuilding DL01...Yeah, I know that's been quite a while ago ;-) Maybe today's mining engineers don't learn about the benefits of draglines, but there are definitely enough sites to keep every single one running if only they wanted to...

Videos of the inside are on CZcams. Loza has made one on his channel, and I put one up more than 10 years ago.

cheers boys
Such a shame to park an as-new dragline...which is the #1 machine that is cut for scrap? Btw nice video as always ;-)

Are they gonna try to sale them first I would hate for the 9020 and 8750 get the torch
@@bethanyhaskiell9116 All the Ensham draglines have been for sale for sometime, but nobody seems to want them.
Is this the 9020 at Ensham and why is it being parked
End of mine life for the open-cut.
end of an era mate
