Fantastic. They should allow onlookers fee to get close just to video these beautiful heavy brutes in action. I'd pay to see more details of equipment/operations. Fun stuff. Never seen some of this awesome equipment. Thanks for sharing.
That truck is Huge It would be great if they'd put a Toyota in front of the dozer.. To really show it's size.. Thanks for making the time to make this video as we the people would never see such magnificent machinery working behind fences
Well thank you, I'm glad you liked it! As for the access for shooting this video, it actually was from "behind a fence". This particular mine, The Ray Mine, has an observation area setup on the rim of the pit high above the action that the mine lets the public have access to during daylight hours. With a good pair of binoculars or a good zoom lens on a camera, people are able to see a lot of the goings-on at the mine. It's really neat to go spend some time watching things there. Thanks for watching and the comment.
It sort of reminds me of a kid playing in a sandpit, using every Tonka toy he has and not worrying about if they go together by scale, and seeing the service vehicles only confirms it. Now where is the dude with the water truck to keep the dust down!
Wow, impressive equipment and great video. Visiting the Kennecott mine in Utah a few years ago I asked how they relocated the big shovels and was told they have a rig they called "the motivator." I wonder if it is similar to this.
The last company I worked for had one of those TowHaul trailers. I remember correctly it was the 350 ton unit. The prime mover was a Komatsu 830E electric truck. I was the first one to task train on it when TowHaul put it all together.I was a nervous wreck after I was told that the operator can do a lot of things wrong that can cost the company a lot of money. The biggest things I hauled with it was a 575 Super Dozer and a 1400 Letourneau wheel loader.
Thanks. I was going by the single exhaust stack and general size. I know newer D10's have dual stacks, and the older ones a single, but I figured this must've been newer than it actually is. I could tell it was big, but with the single stack I thought it must be a D9. This new info now makes that trailer even bigger, visually! An even bigger dozer still looking that small on it equals DAMN BIG TRAILER. . . Ha Ha!
That is beautiful...The Cripple Creek & Victor Mine has one or at least when I last checked. We were on a tour bus going through the pits and one similar to this was coming down the hill. We all got out and oh my lord, it made the tour bus look like a damn Matchbox car and made us look like ants. We sat there for a bit since it was loading a D11 dozer and we couldn't go any further since the D11 was right were we wanted to go. As it came back up to go to the mechanic shop, it made the D11 look like a damn Tonka Toy.
Thanks. I've never heard of a "motivator", but unless it's a lot bigger than this rig I can't imagine a shovel weighing in excess of 1000 tons being moved this way. I think it would just be too tippy. The same day I shot this video, I also shot one of a shovel moving itself with it's own crawlers. It is seen climbing a grade and you can see it is just one brake malfunction away from freewheeling backwards over the edge, a thousand feet into the pit! Use "Ray Mine" on my channel to find it.
Wow! this thing is beyond cool:-D Those pick-up trucks look like kias next to this thing...lol. Very cool catch..this what you need for rush hour traffic;-)
this is the first time I saw giant dump trucks turned into a tractor trailer. give it a Earth hauling trailer, and then you'll have the largest truck bar none.
That has been done too, but more for hauling coal than earth. There are huge bottom-dump trailers that are attached to trucks like these that are common in some coal mines.
Just goes to show what a 'low-boy', in the UK we say 'Low-Loader' can look like if it was possible to build them on the same scale at the earth moving truck? Unfortunal perhaps, these would not get far, at least on the smaller UK 'side roads and lanes'. Thanks for the upload. Take care. mrbluenun
Reminds me of what it looks like when the moved the destroyer that was hit in Yemen. Big ship sinks and floats the destroyer on top then pumps air in and refloats, wig the destroyer ion top.
is that truck a Wabco or a haul pack ? my old man , grand father and 4 uncles wer all strip miners in Arizona. got some pics of my old man from the 70s with his Wabco that he drove. none the less, great video, I had no clue they had low boys that big just wtf.
Ha Ha, yeah, this would take 3 lanes on our roads here in the US and get stopped at the very first bridge it came to. From what I've seen on TV, I think just one set of the duals on the truck or trailer would take up the whole width of some of your "side roads or lanes"! Scary narrow roads there, in some places. No, I didn't get any video of it being loaded. I could see it being unloaded through my binoculars, but it was too far away for the camera to be of any use.
These aren't very common, but I don't think they are very rare either. I would think that most large mines like this would have at least one on site. You can see just how much time and effort these save. Just imagine how long it would take that D9 to travel the 3 or 4 miles to the shop, and that's if it's running perfectly! They're common enough that a company called Norscot makes a 1:50 scale model of this, but their's is pulled by a CAT truck.

Look at about 3:20 you see it pass a full size pickup

The Tonka truck I played with as a kid is REAL!!
we run all 10's and 11' now no more d9's and that 690 transport is still hauling to this day!!

Ha Ha! Before I even finished reading your comment, I was thinking that this thing IS a parking lot!
that trailer is frickin huge, and ive seen big lowboys
I admit I have not looked very hard, do you have a video of this trailer getting loaded please?
Thanks for the upload, really huge trailer!
geeez you could side load 3 if not 4 d11s on that rig
AAAH BOSS we need one oh dem
Yeah, I thought so too. I've seen it once before, years ago, but this time I caught it with a load and I got it with my video camera.
I didnt notice any D10 in the video...where?.....sir its that spec on the back of the low boy.
Thanks for the proper info on this rig, Nick. A day pass sounds good. That's all the guys up there want to see...a nerd with a video camera! Ha ha!
Sure. Thanks for watching.
Wow! this thing is beyond cool:-D Those pick-up trucks look like kias next to this thing...lol. Very cool catch..this what you need for rush hour traffic;-)
Whats That Tractor Called Is It A Cat Not The D9.

That has been done too, but more for hauling coal than earth. There are huge bottom-dump trailers that are attached to trucks like these that are common in some coal mines.
It definitely does that is a big low boy I almost thought the dozer was a rc car
... a D10 is a small dozer. Well in mining it is, after jumping out of a D11 the 10's feel so nimble and like a go kart haha.
Just goes to show what a 'low-boy', in the UK we say 'Low-Loader' can look like if it was possible to build them on the same scale at the earth moving truck? Unfortunal perhaps, these would not get far, at least on the smaller UK 'side roads and lanes'.

THIS IS VEHICLE,
Reminds me of what it looks like when the moved the destroyer that was hit in Yemen. Big ship sinks and floats the destroyer on top then pumps air in and refloats, wig the destroyer ion top.
When we first learned to talk.....we called them pepper-up trucks.
is that truck a Wabco or a haul pack ? my old man , grand father and 4 uncles wer all strip miners in Arizona. got some pics of my old man from the 70s with his Wabco that he drove. none the less, great video, I had no clue they had low boys that big just wtf.
Thanks. I thinks it's a Liebherr, because that's what most of their haul trucks are, but I can't say positively.
Wabco ultimately became Komatsu, still very much in the business.smokey213964
@@espeescotty it's an old Wabco 170
Yes, it was impressive. Thanks.
I didnt know they made such a small D10

jesus you'd have to have a skidsteer with a broom on it to sweep the deck off
what name truck
It's a Liebherr.
what number truck
Now that one I don't know.
Yeah, it does kind of remind one of that.
damn now that's what I call a heavy hauler
Is this the biggest semi in the world?

That is amazing .
I'm pretty sure the truck is built by Liebherr, but I couldn't find in any of my books what the exact model is. It is not a Caterpillar, however.
Hey take that down to the supermarket parking lot!!!.....'move over thats my spot' !!
or maybe that could be used as a mobile parking lot?
reminds me when I was a kid how i would mismatch the scale ratio of toy to another
Awesome!!!
Yeah, that would probably be the best way to do it.
Thanks for all the great comments and the subscription!
that's one hell of a shag truck :) LOL
the d9 seem like child's play!!!!
awwww its a little bulldozer- har har
THIS IS TRANSPORT. NOT FUNNY: IT'S NORMAL
GOOD!
thats insane.
Now that's heavy haul Lol
Absolutely.
Not Liebherr...It's an old Wabco 170
DAMN, you guys got A SMALL D10! Where is this? Tiny-town?! haha, no, that's a serious trailer you guys got!
it would make a d3 look like a Tonka toy
Or lots of air pressure
The D10 is looking for His Mommy BIIG LOOL
رائع
เข้าไปพรุพรี
haha wow thats cool
Tonka Toys
