Hydraulic Mining Excavator RH 200

RH 200
 Market Leader
in the 500-Tonne-Class

Durable, reliable, powerful! These attributes made the

RH 200 such a successful machine, since the introduction
in 1989. Being the best-selling shovel in its category this
unit proved its capabilities around the globe making the
name RH 200 famous in the entire mining industry.
More than 100 manufactured units
Many mines operate several RH 200s and especially these
follow-up-orders emphasize the superior all-over-concept
of this 500 tonne machine. Preferred haul units are
The standard bucket capacity is
190 to 240 ton trucks, which are loaded by the RH 200 in
28 m³ for the backhoe version
four to five passes. and 26 m³ for the TriPower face
shovel attachment.

The RH 200 is a technically mature hydraulic excavator with more than
3,000,000 total operating hours, which were achieved in different applica-
tions and climate zones respectively. These operations include coal, ore
and diamond mining in high temperatures and under arctic conditions as
well as at an altitude of more than 4,500 m above sea level. The major
precondition for competence in excavator manufacturing is longtime field
experience. Only practical expertise allows for target-orientated develop-
ments, placing a specific product in an unbeaten market position! The
RH 200s components verified their durability many times and the RH 200
allover design was the model for other TEREX O&K hydraulic shovels.

 Also the RH 200 features the traditional TEREX O&K
superstructure layout comprising two engines in lengthwise
direction with the hydraulic tank in the center. The most
important benefit: Superior access to all service points.
The water coolers for instance are separated from the
engine and hydraulically driven to obtain access to either
engine from three sides. The main valve block is located
on top of the boom in order to
create free access to the slew
motors and gearboxes as well
as the rotary distributor.

Besides the impressive spaciousness, it is the cab’s ergonomics, han-

dling and deluxe comfort that are so trend-setting and, in every respect,
motivating. The aircushioned, multi-adjustable seat allows stress free and
tireless working, with the operator having both excellent visibility around
his machine‘s equipment and into the loading target. A major additional
reliability factor is the TEREX O&K Board Control System BCS. Featuring
an error-storage device, this computerized control system monitors all the
relevant operating data. Any variances are indicated optically and acousti-
cally before damage develops.

For predominantly mobile applications, the preferred choice for the

RH 200 is the diesel drive comprising two powerful, water-cooled engines.
TEREX O&K‘s proven twin engine concept ensures enhanced reliability
and availability since, even with short-term failure on one engine, the
excavator continues to function fully. An economical alternative to diesel
power for more stationary operations is the long-life, low-maintenance,
clean and from any altitude independent electric motor. Traditionally
TEREX O&K has a comprehensive experience in manufacturing electrically
driven hydraulic excavators.

 Rigorously engineered for punishing mining routine,
the RH 200‘s oversized undercarriage is remarkably
rugged. Designed to safely absorb the enormous hydrau-
lic forces while eliminating time consuming maintenance
chores, the entire chassis has a low center of gravity for
rock-like stability. Lifetime lubricated sprockets and idlers,
track and support rollers make the entire undercarriage
virtually maintenance free. The necessary mobility on the
independently driven crawlers is provided by two power-
ful traction motors with two travel speeds and three-stage
planetary gear units. The traction drives are effectively
protected by being integrated into the crawler profile.
The all-hydraulic, track tensioning system selfadjusts for
work or travel modes, reducing unnecessary stress and
wear.
