See The Shovel, Clifton, Arizona
The P&H Model 1800 Excavator Shovel #11 worked in the Phelps Dodge Morenci Pit from 1/20/1958 – 2/11/1980. In its 22 years of service; it moved 68,483,849 tons of material. If the total tonnage was stacked on top of a 1700 Sq. foot home the pile would be 202.7 miles high. Through the joint efforts of Phelps Dodge Morenci and the Town of Clifton this shovel was saved to be restored as a reminder of a piece of machinery that helped build post war America. The shovel restoration project began on 7/29/89 and after over 458 hours and 40 volunteers was completed on 6/5/93.
