almost like you could drain the water and just start that equipment right up, that water must be super fresh and very low in O2, its preserving everything instead of destroying it. very cool.
Nah, they were too large and it was cheaper to leave down there and get a get one then to disassemble them and move. Most of that large equipment isn’t worth moving.
@@tarn1135 Really? Very interesting. The wheels, tires, and engines alone are worth alot. Especially the hydraulic pumps and such. Did they drain all the oils? (Hydraulic, engine oil and diesel) out of them? Even those forks are worth a bit.
you correct they hit a water vien on day shift . didnt know untill next morning shift was flooded the hole mine site . so no they couldnt retreive the equipment. this other commenter is a keyboard hero but knows nothing scroll king
well after some googling i can't find anything about any cave ins etc. it was closed for unspecified reasons in 1994. it was then re-opened as a cave diving place early 21st century, then it was renamed to abelle Felicitas which was A HEALTH RETREAT [???] which also does cave dives.
cost to much to bring to surface. It would have to be completely disassembled and brought up piece by piece. My uncle worked in a salt mine and he took me down into the mine and showed me all the equipment and machinery, he told me it would never be brought back to the surface.
@@jerrylast4461unlikely. You could clearly see the incline shaft at the beginning, this is where the vehicles were driven in and out of the mine. I have never seen a mine operating with this sort of equipment which did not have an incline shaft. To dismantle and rebuild these units underground and then maintain them underground would be ridiculous. Id like to see some examples of mines where they build and maintain these vehicles entirely underground without an incline access shaft. Can you name a few so i can look them up?... My personal opinion on this case is the mine likely expected to reopen, and eventually maintaining the pumps became too costly and the mine was abandoned. These machine look old, most are now electric not diesel, they probably werent worth the paperwork, risk assessments, and labour to extract them just for their scrap value.

According to some comments, the water pumps were switched off, allowing the abandoned mine to flood. The equipment was abandoned because to return it to the surface required it all to be dismantled into smaller pieces, and that, together with the rebuilding of it all at the surface was too expensive to be viable. The company knew the cost of everything and the value of nothing...
@@felixcat9318 I get you but I don't understand why, if they were abandoning the mine, they didn't drive them back out. I mean, they drove them in and from the looks of the inclination of the tunnel it looks like they could of driven them out. Or am I missing something here? 🤔🤷♂
@@c.j.cleveland7475 For what must have been access restrictions, all of their equipment had to be broken down into small pieces in order to get it down into the actual tunnelling level, where it all had to be rebuilt again. To get it out this time meant doing exactly the same, and they decided that it was not financially viable to do that for used equipment. Each piece needed to be carefully dismantled and rebuilt by highly experienced people whom were fully familiar with heavy mining equipment. Such people's time doesn't come cheap, and the equipment was probably new when they originally did that breakdown and rebuild process, buy now, with countless hours on each machine operating in a dusty environment, the machines no longer have the resale value to make all of that time consuming work financially viable. They couldn't sell the machines for what it would cost to dismantle them into small parts, haul them up to the surface, then rebuild each vehicle, compresser and conveyer belt unit. In short, although each vehicle and piece of equipment was in good working order (mining equipment tends to be very well maintained because down time is very costly) it couldn't even be given away because it couldn't be removed from the tunnels without time consuming and costly specialised labour. The Company writes it all off as a Tax loss, for which they'd recieve credits...
@RJGamer-zb4lb it took me some searching and then translating a German wiki. It was a mine that has very clean air due to low temperature and high humidity. Also, as you mentioned, yes part of the mine was flooded due to no more maintenence of the mine.

Awesome vids guys ...all the equipment left is amazing..thank you ..stay safe and God bless yous.....
Why didn’t they get the equipment out before turning the pumps off to the slate mine?
Probably too expensive and time consuming as opposed to just leaving it there.
Incrível o vídeo! Incrível e arrepiante ver essas máquinas assim, repousando em silêncio
Das muss sehr sauerstoffarmes Wasser sein. An den Maschinen ist kaum Korrosion vorhanden. Der fehlende Sauerstoff bewirkt eine gute Konservierung der Geräte. Die werden auch in vielen Jahren noch vorhanden sein.
Probably still far superior then a lot of equipment being used today :')

it was a old slate mine that was closed down, waterpumps were turned off sometime around the year 2000.
