Tschechische Bagger 1922-2003: Von Škoda über Menck zu Unex

NEU

In Deutschland ist wenig bekannt, dass in Tschechien über einen Zeitraum von 80 Jahren interessante Bagger hergestellt wurden, darunter einige der größten in Europa. Die bemerkenswerte Verbindung zwischen Škoda und Menck & Hambrock begann im Jahr 1939. Die familiäre Beziehung zu Menck-Baggern war bei einigen Unex-Baggern noch bis Ende der 1960er Jahre deutlich erkennbar. Sowohl Škoda als auch Unex konstruierten jedoch auch eigene Bagger, einschließlich großer Elektrobagger für den Tagebau. Im Bereich der Hydraulikbagger war Unex ein Pionier in den osteuropäischen Ländern.

Aus dem Inhalt:
- Die Anfänge des tschechischen Baggerbaus, Škoda-Bagger 1927 bis 1949
- Tschechische Menck-Bagger - in den Kriegsjahren und danach, Wiederaufnahme und Ende des Škoda-Baggerbaus nach 1945
- Das neue Baggerwerk Unicov baut den Elektrobagger E 25
- Seilbagger der Baureihe Ry/D
- Die neue Generation eines 0,5 m3 Baggers (1957 bis 1974)
- Die Elektrobagger vom E 301 bis zum E 303 (1964 bis 1991)
- KSK E 7 - Der Gigant aus Teplice (1971 bis 1985)
- Die Unex Hydraulikbagger (1969 bis 2003).

Earthmovers in Scotland - Mining, Quarries, Roads & Forestry

As Scottish Correspondent for Earthmovers Magazine, David Wylie has enjoyed privileged access to the mines, quarries, road projects and forestry sites across Scotland. On his visits he has seen some of the biggest and arguably the best, earthmoving machinery in the world, in action.
This book brings together 32 of David's reports from these visits to tell the story of the highly skilled, experienced owners, drivers and managers that work with earthmoving equipment and explains why they select, maintain and operate these machines.

The book features some of the largest earthmovers in the UK, such as Caterpillar's D11R bulldozer, Liebherr's massive 320 tonne R9350s and the mighty 520 tonne Q&K RH200 at Banks Mining Shotton surface mine in Northumberland, a short hop over the Scottish border.
It also takes a look at a 1.5 tonne mini digger, special trailers that can lift and transport 1800 tonne bridges into position, and covers Demag's H485 record breaking mining shovel amongst others.

Taking pride of place in the book are over 400 stunning photographs, many of which have not been seen before and many of which feature machines that were the first of their kind.

Opencast Images : An Informal Look at British Coal Opencast Sites 1986-1994

In the United Kingdom surface coal mining began in 1942 in response to a national shortage of deep-mined coal. By the 1980s, when Dave Wootton began touring sites and taking photographs, the industry was firmly established with major operations and very large machinery.

His fully captioned pictures cover the period from 1986 until British Coal Opencast (BCO) was privatised in 1994. There are panoramic shots showing the scale of operations and fine close-ups of individual machines of many kinds at work. He includes several walking draglines such as the 4,000-ton 'Ace of Spades', the largest of its kind in Europe. Another record holder was O&K's RH300 hydraulic shovel beautifully photographed by Dave at its Godkin, Derbyshire workplace.

Dave visited some two dozen sites in Derbyshire, Northumberland, Yorkshire, South Wales and elsewhere, capturing the full range of surface mining activities. The equipment was manufactured by famous names such as Caterpillar, Ransomes & Rapier and Ruston-Bucyrus. BCO used contractors - so Wimpey, Taylor Woodrow, Fairclough and others are all seen playing their parts.

The surface-mining industry has changed considerably since 1994, meaning that this collection of photographs has great historic interest for enthusiasts. The author also includes a short history of BCO, some Open Days material, machine specifications and a full index of machines.

Coal Mining Equipment at Work: Featuring the World Famous Mines and Mining Companies of Western Kentucky

Western Kentucky represented, in the time period covered by this book from the 1950s-80s, the bulk of coal mining in North America. Attributed to in John Prine's famous song '''Paradise,'' Muhlenberg County is home to Kentucky's first commercial coal mine named the McLean Drift Bank. At one point, Muhlenberg County produced more coal than any county, state, or country as the largest producer of coal in the world.

The massive mining machines documented herein show how it was possible through vintage and colorful photography. Production statistics are detailed for each piece of equipment, laced with historical facts and stories about the mines and mining companies that operated them. Includes a rare look at some of the old draglines that have been re-started and are digging in Western Kentucky once again thanks to new technology.
