Komatsu announced the arrival of a P&H 2100BL electric rope shovel to serve as a landmark at its Elko, Nev., campus. The shovel has been relocated from Milwaukee, Wis., to serve as a monument to the legacy of P&H Mining Equipment and that company’s long history of manufacturing in the United States.
“This machine will now be prominently displayed in front of our Elko facility, symbolizing the evolution of mining technology, the enduring legacy of P&H Mining Equipment, and Komatsu’s deep connection to and pride in being part of the Elko community. We are excited to share this iconic shovel with the community and celebrate its past and future contributions to the industry,” said Tom Suess, Komatsu vice president and general manager for U.S. Mining Distribution.
Komatsu’s Elko service center, which opened in 2019, is a state-of-the-art facility and regional hub for mining and construction support.
