How Efficient are Bucket WheelExcavators in Europes Lignitefields?
Bucket wheel excavators are used extensively around europe to remove overburden and extract lignite for power stations. The largest offer 240,000 tonnes per day production. But just how efficient are they over a year. What are the realistic yearly production rates. I am curious as this is a lot for one machine to actually handle. Is there any where I can check?
Efficient? If you mean how much 'down time' could be expected over a year, then I wouldn't think they would be much different to any other large excavator, which really isn't a lot. I drove large excavators (drag lines, face shovels etc.) on opencast coal sites etc. more than 30 years ago, and each machine had a 'banksman' whose main job was to grease all points at the appropriate interval. These varied from 2, 4, 8 16 hour intervals, up to (uncommonly) monthly intervals, A lot of this, no doubt, is now done automatically, but the principal will be the same, and as with ANY piece of machinary, as long as they are 'looked after' they will give excellent service.

Are earth excavators permittedto carrying or liftingmaterials like pipes or drumsin construction indystry?
Normally Excavators are used for digging earth. But sometimes the operators use the bucket to lift materials .
Typically no. It's a matter of safety. The object being carried can spill out of the bucket and injure someone. For heavy loads you use a forklift and the objects should be securely held on a pallet. For odd shaped objects a sling may be used but it must be inspected for nicks and tears prior to every use.
How much do union constructionworkers make or unionexcavators etc..?
How much do union construction workers make or union excavators etc..?
This answer depends on where that employee is working. Here in the Bay Area our Union employees make more per hour than say a Union worker in the Midwest makes. If you call the different Unions they can let you know what their pay scale is. You can also look at "prevailing wage" for different areas. http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/const ruc/
