This is how it looks today after pushing 5,000,000 tons of coal over the last 10 years
The rippers on the back are used to break up frozen coal. During winter temperatures can drop into the sub-zero range. Coal piles freeze to the depth of 26 inches.
I'm pushing coal to the other machines, they transport it to the reclaim hopper where it is conveyed to the power plant. We furnish roughly 5,000+ tons of coal a day to the 10 coal bunkers inside the plant.
