摘要:When choosing equipment for working out a coal-bearing zone of a quarry field, one of the most important factors is the use of excavator equipment available at the enterprise. From previously published works, the main advantages and disadvantages of the most common types of excavators (rope shovel and backhoe) are known. In this article, the authors propose an organizational scheme for the development of a coal-bearing zone using both types of excavators. A technological scheme of the development of a coal-bearing and a coalless zone of a quarry field by the complexes of these excavators is given. The advantages of the given scheme of mining are determined.
