Experience Matters

With over 80 years of mining industry experience, GE is recognized as a leading supplier of excavator solutions. GE has a long history of designing reliable DC excavator systems; however, due to a growing demand in the industry for AC solutions, GE has developed an AC excavator system.

Our reliable DC and AC excavator systems are designed to withstand typical harsh mining environments and challenging applications.

These excavator systems have been designed specifically for dragline, shovel, and blast-hole applications. They are designed to help optimize operations and reduce cost per material ton moved ($/MTM).

All GE systems are designed to meet applicable industry standards, eg CE, CSA, IEC, and NEMA.

The GE global service network provides installation, startup and upgrade expertise. With the GE solution, you will have access to application engineering, state-of-the-art equipment, and field engineering services.

With GE, you now have the flexibility of selecting AC or DC platform drive systems depending on your site condition and environment. It's now easier to upgrade or modify your existing equipment.

Our AC KD800 Series motors are designed to fit the existing DC MD800 Series motors footprint and shaft height. Our rugged and tested insulation system has a potential winding life of 20 years.

The programmable logic controls (PLC) software is very similar to our DC system. The AC PLC is pre-programmed with algorithms derived from a long and proven history of DC operations.
