P&H C-SERIES

SHOVELS

Integrated Information Technologies

Improve Control, Comfort and Consistency
DIGITALLY
DISCIPLINED
DIGGING
For generations, mine operations
managers have longed for shovels that
would work ‘round the clock with
virtually no breakdowns. They have
envisioned early warning systems
that would eliminate unscheduled
shutdowns and help maintain robust
machine productivity.

With the advent of the P&H C-

Series shovels, the full P&H shovel
line has experienced a high-tech
transformation, combining a solid
reputation of reliability with the
proven Centurion™ control system.
The C-Series digs deeper into the
realms of productivity, safety and
reliability with greater control,
comfort, and consistency.

TAKE CONTROL
Control on the C-Series shovels comes
in the form of optimized machine
performance, advanced diagnostics,
advanced communications, and an
expandable control platform.

Optimum Performance to Reduce

Cycle Time The Centurion system,
uses P&H engineered algorithms and
much greater processing speeds to
put “smarts” in the control system .
Centurion uses intelligent sensors and
I/O devices to monitor and control
more than 200 points on the shovel.
This provides an array of control
technologies to protect the shovel
components and reduce the cycle
time.
The expansive floor
plan of the C-Series cab
features a more distinct,
recessed space for the
Loading Control Center, a
convenient trainer’s station
and a panoramic view for
the operator.

The ergonomic pistol grip joysticks house all digging and
propel functions as well as braking, fault reset and machine
start.
Advanced Diagnostics to Reduce
Downtime The communica-
tions infrastructure underlying
Centurion provides dramatic
improvements in signal process-
ing speed and volume. It extends
monitoring and diagnostic capa-
bilities, provides for enhanced
machine health reporting, and
facilitates the viewing of a wide
array of operating and production
information. Downtime can be
reduced with greater point moni-
toring.
Advanced Communications
The Centurion System facilitates
external communications either
with P&H’s optional ShoveLink™
software package or with almost

any communications
system within the mine.
Expandable Platform
Centurion’s architecture is
designed using standard
industry protocols allowing
for virtually unlimited
scalability and integration
of new technologies for
decades to come.
OPERATOR COMFORT
To minimize the effects of long
shifts and repetitive tasks, C-Series
shovels feature the P&H Loading
Control Center, which is designed
around the operator. Combined
with the re-engineered C-Series Cab,
it represents the latest in ergonom-
ics and safety.
Super Seat The standard air-
suspension seat is fully adjustable
for operator height and weight
and provides an integral two-
position footrest. Automotive-style,
electrically controlled vertical and
forward/reverse motion glides the
seat into position and allows custom
fitting of the joysticks to individual
operators. The seat provides full
lumbar support, and heat and
massage.
More control has also been placed
in the operator’s hands. All digging
controls reside in the ergonomically
designed, pistol grip joysticks, with
push button, trigger switch and
rocker switches built into the grips.
Super Cab The cab’s newly
designed, tinted windows increase
safety by providing greater visibility
to the work area, including a more
comprehensive view of the dipper
and track in the tuck position.
The cab’s overhead and baseboard
ventilation supplies a curtain of
climate-controlled air against the
windows, keeping the operator
comfortably warm and preventing
frost and fogging in winter. In the
summer, cool, pressurized, dehu-
midified air provides a comfortable,
dust-free working environment,
helping to keep the operator fresh
and alert.

resulted in innovative designs and
patented manufacturing processes
unique to P&H shovels.
To achieve peak performance, me-
chanical, electrical and structural
parts must interact with precision.
A prime example of this is the P&H
planetary transmission applied to
propel and swing functions. P&H
developed planetary transmissions
for P&H shovels during the 1980s
to simplify maintenance and reduce
operating cost.
Structures on P&H shovels have
also been optimized through ad-
