Abstract: The openpit mining device includes a cantilever arm which is swivellable around a horizontal axis and carries a support or tool carriage. The support or tool carriage is shiftably supported in a transverse relation to the longitudinal axis of the cantilever arm and has tools rotatably supported on it. For this purpose, the head of the cantilever arm carries a rod-type guide and the tool carriage or support carries a rod-type guide. The guide rods are mutually interconnected with interposition of an intermediate carrier. The shifting drive is provided by hydraulic cylinder-piston-aggregates which are arranged between the intermediate carrier and the head and between the intermediate carrier and the support.

Abstract: A movable device (1) for openpit mining has a plurality of excavating hammers (11) on a cantilever boom (2) being swivellable in height direction. For facilitating the continuous excavating work and for providing an adaptability to the varying angles of inclination encountered in openpit mining, at least part (23) of the carrier (6) or the carrier (6) itself is shiftable in transverse relation to the longitudinal axis (7) of the cantilever arm (2), so that on downward swivelling movement of the cantilever arm (2) in direction of the arrow (17) the whole carrier (6) or at least part (23) thereof can be shifted in transverse relation to the longidudinal axis (7) of the cantilever arm by a hydraulic cylinder-piston-aggregate (8), thereby maintaining a predetermined angle of inclination or angle of repose.
