P&H Mining Equipment is a global leader in the manufacture and service of large excavating and drilling machines The company was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1884 by Alonzo Pawling and Henry Harnischfeger. Its headquarters remain there.
The P&H 4100XPC is an electric mining shovel that provides a nominal 115 ton payload loading capacity. It is designed for use in mines operating large mining trucks in the 240-400 ton range. Fitted with 87" shoes like this model, the machine weighs 3.2m lbs (nearly 1500 tonnes).
This model is 1:87 scale and is made by TWH in China.
Packaging
The model is supplied well packed in a P&H branded box which has some good photos and a description of the machine's features. Inside, the model is contained within expanded polystyrene trays. As it is 1:87 scale, some parts are delicate but the packaging is effective and the review model had no damage or missing parts.
Three small brochures are supplied. Two are reprints of P&H literature and they provide interesting information which is a good and worthwhile backdrop to the model. The third is a simple leaflet which describes the small amount of assembly needed (fixing handrails) , and the operation of the model.
