Research of the influence of the excavating and automotive equipment complexes parameters on the speed of faces advance

The article presents the results of the research on the equipment complexes parameters impact assessment with electric and hydraulic excavators and dump trucks on deposits development intensity. The classification of deposits according to the relative difficulty of development is introduced. For the open pits of each of the identified five classes, the possible speed of faces advance is determined with the diversity of equipment parameters, deposits parameters and panel blocks.
