Arizona's thriving mining industry runs on heavy machinery. This rugged equipment is used to extract a diverse range of minerals and resources, including copper, molybdenum, gold, silver, and coal. The state is particularly known for its copper production, contributing to over 60% of the total copper yield in the United States.
The Caterpillar 797F, one of the world's largest mechanical haul trucks, is a common sight in Arizona's open-pit mines. With a payload capacity exceeding 360 tons and a top speed of 42 mph when fully loaded, these behemoths are indispensable for moving vast quantities of material quickly and efficiently. Excavators like the Hitachi EX8000-6 are also widely used for their exceptional digging depth and reach capabilities.
Arizona's most significant mining operations include those run by Freeport-McMoRan and ASARCO. Freeport-McMoRan operates the Morenci mine - North America's largest producer of copper - where heavy machinery is used to extract over 800 million pounds of copper annually. ASARCO operates the Mission mine, which yields molybdenum and copper.
The extracted minerals have wide-ranging commercial and industrial uses. Copper is heavily used in electrical wiring due to its superior conductivity properties. Molybdenum is found to be applicable in steel alloys to improve hardness and durability, while gold is widely used in electronics due to its excellent resistance to tarnish and corrosion.
Heavy machinery forms the backbone of Arizona's mining sector by enabling efficient extraction of valuable minerals that power various industries across the country. Informed decisions on the make and model of equipment can significantly impact operational efficiency and productivity in this demanding field.
