Blue Marble - Our earth is home to 3.6 million people which then becomes 7 million in 40 years.

Our planet is in a perfect position about 93 million miles from the sun and the earth's rotation
assisted by the moon encourages amazing life. Apart from that, we are also dependent on how
well we are to get the things we need from the earth's crust. Food from agriculture, wood for
building materials, paper, packaging, and minerals provide energy and the raw materials needed
for homes, bridges, computers, schools, transportation, communications and other vital systems.

P&H Mining Equipment is an equipment that designs, builds and supports and plays an
important role in the mining industry, they help to drill hard materials such as copper in iron ore
rock formations effectively for ease of loading and processing. they excavate and help crush and
transport large volumes of material, thanks to the horizon's new crusher hauling technology

P&H Mining Equipment is a partnership between Chicago industrial pattern maker, Alonzo
Pawling and German immigrant machinist Henry Harnischfeger. It started on the first day of
December 1884, as a small machine and pattern shop. At that time Alonzo was 27 and Henry 29.
Initially the small shop Pawling and Harnischfeger specialized in making parts and machines for
a major steam industry company in Old Miwaukee and engine popper valves

In 1887, they rebuilt the damaged crane bridge for Edward P. Allis's company. Pawling and
Henry and their business partner A.J. Shaw, who has experience in overhead cranes, replaced
damaged crane’s complex array of rope and pulleys with a simplified set of motors and
gearboxes. In 1888, the crane returned to operation and was successful. Later Alonzo and Henry
made their own product and developed it to meet the demand for bridge cranes. Many customers
were impressed by their quality and service. Soon Alonzo and Henry started referring to their
business as P&H because it seemed easier to pronounce and initially became a symbol of quality
and service.
In 1993, when Westinghouse Electric Company bought out rival Gibbs Electric Company,
Pawling & Harnischfeger moved quickly to purchase Gibbs engineering and manufacturing
assets and began manufacturing their own industrial grade AC and DC motors and controls that
were customized on demand. 1893 was also an important year as the "bank panic" led Pawling &
Harnischfeger to realize that they needed to expand their product line.

They began to look at the digging machines that were in great demand at that time for business
balance. Around 1914, the first P&H machine to appear was the P&H T1 Tamper. It is a P&H T-
1 breakdown / sidewalk cutter used effectively to start and finish pipeline installations on city
roads. Wheel and ladder type trenching machine for agricultural and water pipe projects
In 1920, the company launched a Power Shovel called the P&H model 206. This machine had a
½-cubic-yard scoop capacity with a payload of 500 pounds. It is a rugged well-built machine,
easy to operate and easy to maintain. This machine was shipped to Bombay India in the mid-
20’s. P&H is busy with activities and designs of more sophisticated excavating and lifting
machines

In 1927 the company introduced the line of P&H 300 "8-in-1 convertible" engine features a
general work lower and rotating frame where customers can choose from a variety of options
including power shovel, dragline, crane hook construction, clamshell, piledriver, magnet, "Skim-
Scoop" and back-filler

In 1930 P&H converted its entire product line to welded designs. The advantage is that it is
lighter and more resilient, for larger loads allowing for a lower cost per tonne. Several P&H
Shovels were first used for the Construction Progress Administration construction project. It was
also this year that P&H began applying the WardLennard DC drive system to its shovels for
faster digging and less fatigue for shovel operators. The WLennard drive system allows greater
tonnage per hour for mining and construction. P&H employees concentrate on the manufacture
of industrial cranes and welding machines and electric shovels for the mining industry. The
outbreak of World War II in 1939 brought the factory slowly to full production.
In 1941, P&H focused on manufacturing domestic cranes, hoists and digging machines industrial
and for military applications. During the conflict P&H helped build ports and runways and
bridges which were damaged until 1945.

In the 1950s, P&H continued to develop its shovel for higher productivity. In 1968, P&H
introduced the P&H 2800 brand model. The first three P&H 2800 entered services in
metallurgical coal mines in the West Canada. Twenty years later, P&H began making crawler-
mounted drag lines in 1920, and it is even believed that P&H introduced the first type dragline
belongs to John W page founder og the Page Engineering Company based in Chicago in 1903.

P&H realized an opportunity to expand its reach by acquiring the dragline engine product line in
1988. Then P&H engineers developed the P&H 90 20 class 60 meter dragline line.
In 1991 P&H acquired a gardner-denver drilling rig product line for surface mining operations
such as walking draglines and developed a drilling rig for hard rock mining operations.

in 1996 P&H 9020 class 60 meter were quickly recognized as a good investment for coal mines
in Australia and Canada.

The P&H 320 XPC is a drilling machine available in iron ore, copper and metallurgical
operations also giving rise to a new generation of high capacity haul trucks, P&H 4100XPC
electric shovel equipped with easy maintenance, time saving and lower cost mining operations

A shovel P&H 4100BOSS AC-drive appeared smoothly and very well in 2007 in the Canadian
Oil Sands region. In 2008 have plans for new material processing and handling system with the
P&H 4170PC.

In 2010 launched the P&H 4100 X shovel PC as the next generation. P&H provides many
attractive alternatives to the P&H shovel customized crusher haulage system with optimal
management
P&H tools have excelled for 125 years and have a strong goal of providing the best service to
customers and great employees when overcoming difficulties and providing valuable solutions.
