I spent 30 years working in Northern Alberta, I've driven past the Mammoet laydown many times on my way to the sites north of the Bridge to Nowhere. Always a delight to work with Mammoet - so professional and great attitudes. Worked with their crew at Suncor Firebag in the mid-00's (2400 ton crane installing HRSG boiler bundles). Thanks for this 🙂
The sheer scale of this mega transport operation in Canada is awe-inspiring! Watching the delicate precision of the tough individuals involved and the massive dump truck being transported is a testament to human engineering and determination. Thanks for showcasing this incredible journey in the documentary.
Seeing those massive dump trucks on video doesn't do it justice, you have to stand next to it to really appreciate the size of that monster, amazing human engineering.
They seem like a cool bunch of dudes. Good teamwork from everybody, everybody in the right place at the right time. Someone even took the time to set out all the big nuts and bolts along the trailer in prep for joining them @ 23:20
I'm retired at 75: back in my day, we did it all out in the dirt: Two of the best generals I worked for, SJ Groves Sons and Company, McCoy Construction & sons and Company, McCoy is still at it. there Sons run it now. I loved the work; I liked the people I worked around, although some were over the top difficult to be around, Never the less, the work still got done.
@@daddyking9160 it was great at that time, lot of work with good money which you can not find anywhere in Canada at that time. Anything specific you wants to know?
@@kenadams9725 For most of the jobs (Trade Job's), you have to have Red seal certificates. Its not a good time for oil sands in Canada. I am out of Fort McMurray since 2015.
As a Canadian who worked in this area it was a great experience to be in the oil sands. Hwy 63 was always a hair raising experience driving back to Edmonton. God bless the people that still work there
"Each of these trailers takes 500 years to prepare and with -30,000 years to go, time is not on their side. Here we see Andy getting the trailer ready for its 100-year journey next to the other trailer. Andy needs to precisely move this trailer in ONE MOVE with the precision of a samurai or the entire world will burn and nobody will ever be able to taste chocolate ever again." - Super accurate detail man
I was absolutely amazed to hear that it’s Women that are preferred to drive this beast!! All I can say is absolute respect to any woman that can and is driving this! Respect to anyone that’s able to operate this.
Who would’ve ever thought of moving some of this stuff but then somebody ask and there was somebody willing to take that risk and say yes we can do that. Awesome never forget the spirit of somebody willing to try something new
Not even the second biggest, excavators 250-300 tonnes and upward are bigger than the 797. Shovels are bigger again, and draglines are the biggest mining machines outside the largest bucket wheel excavators. There are other dump trucks as big as the 797, but it is the largest mechanical drive truck on the planet
'No Crushed Fingers Today'.....howsoever scary it sounds for the future , I am sure such wonderful engineers, technicians, operators etc., here have it all in them that keeps such gigantic machines moving and making our lives better and better and better. Thanks to The Entire Team For Whom Risk-Taking Is A Way Of Life .....Everyday !
Both 114 and 115 truck were due for a over-hall at the same time. They were delivered back to the client within 24hrs of each other. I know this as I worked at this specific mine, having the opportunity to operate both of those haulers during a shift cycle. If I recall correctly, they each had approximately 76,000 hours(+/- 5000) on them prior to the rebuild. Everything was new when they went back in service, including all the cab amenities. Cat 797B. Still my favorite haul truck to operate.✌
Great doco and full of information these machines are the workhorse of mining operations world around, and the price tag 6-7 million is nothing compared to what they make off them. Laughed at comment about drivers age as i have meet plenty guys younger in big machinery etc that i would trust rather than the older guys..age isn't always experience and vice versa

I was driving along a road in North Yorkshire in the mid 1980`s when a Chieftain Tank drove across the road about 75 meters in front of me - smashing the road to bits ( and that was only about 50 tons or so ).
Was driving on the service road by a mine on the coast, came around a corner when one of these things pulled a U turn in the field next to me. Scared me half to death... Like, he had it, no danger but imagine seeing that in your peripheral vision 35 feet away... Cool as hell though. Had to pull over and smoke weed and watch for a while.

These dump trucks are true mining giants. Their size and load capacity are simply incredible. I can't imagine the power it takes to move such amounts of material. Which one do you think is the most impressive of all .
I worked at a mine where the Cat 793s were delivered in pieces and assembled on a mountain about 12,000 ft above sea level. The dump bed even came in 3 pieces and was welded together on site.
@@Lanse1984 Indonesia. It was the Grasberg Mine. I went there twice on 120 day work visas 30 years ago training and over seeing Indonesians doing network installation and turn up. We worked from the port site to dispatch at about at 13,000 feet above sea level.
@Chris_at_Home interesting. I was in Alberta, then Baffin Island and now working on the Cote Gold construction project in Ontario. I am the Trainint Department Manager
Anyone else noticed that the video contained 2 different recordings of the load they carried? 115 and 114 as well as different setups of the trucks pushing behind
I was 19 or 20 when I ended up operating one of these while working towards what I really wanted to do which was EMS and Emergency Communications. I'll tell you that's a beast of a machine, but I was to high strung to be in that truck all day. Truth is, I was never so bored in my life, lol. I mean you could tell the time of day by number of loads hauled, and that's no joke, lol. And so I did everything possible to show I was to valuable to be in it. Eventually I got into maintenance which I loved, and then the day came where I made it and got into what I really wanted to do.
Yeah these guys have very tight highway delivery windows. Most of the mines are accessible only by a two-lane highway. An extremely busy highway during shift changes.
400 tonnes at 40 kmph translates to one hell of a deadly force. Ever think what would happen if you had to apply the brakes suddenly. How far would the trailer slide before it came to a halt ?
Hauled through Texas lots. Eather run through the big cities at night usually with police escorts to help shut the city down or go around. Coming out of Louisiana is mandatory police escort with a superload. Police escort is fun they shut down any intersections and you don't stop for any red lights! There are massive staging areas on both sides of Ft. Macmurray so superloads can wait till dark to run through the city. Unloaded a D11 cat today in Wyoming that came out of Sparwood BC. Snowstorm means I'll be visiting for a few days as our permits will be invalid till the snow gets cleaned up. (sorry if this doesn't interest you :)
@@madmattthehatter very interesting! I have only done 2 super loads and both were alot of ppwk and red tape! D11 that's s BIG BOY!! MAY GOD KEEP YOU SAFE!!
I worked all around that very area I even recognized almost every background shot and as a NCSO (SAFETY OFFICER) I woulxcsay Mammot is one of the best in the world, when it comes to heavy lift & transportation ! Ft Mac gets a bad rap from the eco loons who don't have a clue about how safety and the environment are the highest priority !
At 18:28 he says a 16 speed transmission it is actually an 18 speed transmission. five actual gears. there is a high and low range but only four of the gears are used in high range. So now you are up to nine speeds. each of these gears can be "split" giving you a total of 18 speeds. They forget to count low when counting the gears.
There is also a fire suppression system the operator can activate just in case the radiator catches fire while operating the mine truck. Emergency ladder included!
Drove a Komatsu 830E AC for a minute here in rural Queensland, Australia. Lock out was 250ton - Coal and Dirt/Overburden. Ahhhuhhh. Most incredible monsters to drive. LOUD, and amazing!
Always makes me happy seeing honest, sincerely hardworking men doing critical, dangerous work like it was nothing.

It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious. It stays vibrant, fresh, and revolutionizes the art of storytelling and filmmaking while making a damn of statement on what it means to be human. Entertaining, gripping, and simply exhilarating. This might be the most impactful piece of art I’ve come across in my life, and I’m definitely coming back to it in the near future to study it more deeply. this is an absolute masterpiece , I was brought to tears listening to this and seeing the bacon go whirly swirly in a circle countless times. it absolutely moved my soul , and I don't think I can ever be the same. this bacon has changed my entire mental state , I am now at peace with who I am and what I will be doing later in my life. i have forgiven all my enemies and now I am a man of a pacifist life. I will move on , gotta move on , as the song says. the bacon is so inspirational , it shares it vast wisdom with all of us , and we are all so lucky that it would bestow it's great words with us. we are all children on bacon. hail bacon. hail bacon. The spinning bacon, rotating in one direction with this music... This made me tear up. How could such a bacon do such a thing? I'm struck by awe by this masterpiece. Especially when the bacon spins, showing its lightly salt covered tan skin. I can hear the crunch just from here, and so as the beautiful sound of the bacon scraping the dark, smooth velvet floor. The flavor, music and everything can be heard, tasted, seen and felt from a screen. You can really hear the breaths between the music artist, empathizing her love for this rotating bacon. Truly what I call modern art. This was the most legendary performance by any piece of bacon I have ever watched. The acting was top tier and very life changing. This is one of the greatest work from a piece of bacon I have ever seen especially on 57:42.I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was at 0:02. That part truly made me shed a tear. And especially at 6:34 that part was just so truly heart touching words can not describe the series of emotions I felt. I absolutely loved the climax it had insanely excellent detail. Oh and we can’t forget the conclusion. The conclusion was the greatest and saddest conclusion I have ever seen better than any of the books I have read.

It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. The work put in to this is incredibly inspiring. The graphics, the animation, the music, so much thought was put into it. This has remined me that you can do anything you put your mind to. Not even mentioning the memories, this makes me feel like an infant again, just laying my eyes on this beautiful masterpiece gives me all the good feelings in life. I also understand what happiness is again from this. Not even to mention the most incredible part that is 0:00. Bacon spinning has changed my life for the better. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious. It stays vibrant, fresh, and revolutionizes the art of storytelling and filmmaking while making a damn of statement on what it means to be human. Entertaining, gripping, and simply exhilarating.

I cried, beat off, and also watched a movie while watching this premiere. This has made me go through so much. I passed depression because of this. It really inspired me to become an outstanding young man. Thank you.
Man those Cat 797s are massive
My grandpa used to operate these things in an iron mine.
These dump trucks are true mining giants. Their size and load capacity are simply incredible. I can't imagine the power it takes to move such amounts of material. Which one do you think is the most impressive of all .
I worked at a mine where the Cat 793s were delivered in pieces and assembled on a mountain about 12,000 ft above sea level. The dump bed even came in 3 pieces and was welded together on site.
Bolivia or Indonesia?😊
@@Lanse1984 Indonesia. It was the Grasberg Mine. I went there twice on 120 day work visas 30 years ago training and over seeing Indonesians doing network installation and turn up. We worked from the port site to dispatch at about at 13,000 feet above sea level.
@@Chris_at_Home I had a colleague that worked there in the 90s. He's retired but I still work in Mining
@@Lanse1984 I worked around the oilfield doing electronics and then telecommunications in the oilfield and along the pipeline here in Alaska.
@Chris_at_Home interesting. I was in Alberta, then Baffin Island and now working on the Cote Gold construction project in Ontario. I am the Trainint Department Manager
Who doesn't love a tough man with delicate fingers?
Anyone else noticed that the video contained 2 different recordings of the load they carried? 115 and 114 as well as different setups of the trucks pushing behind
According to one of the comments on this vid from someone who supposedly worked at that mine, both trucks were delivered within 24 hours of each other
Some of the footage is the haul trucks leaving the mine on its way too Finnings.
One of my lovely equipment! OHT CAT 797. Great!...thanks for documenting this moment.
4:03 Oh, first I thought it was a candy dispenser :-)
Me too,
but I believe It's earplugs
Yeah, he has earplugs in after that.
Mee too.🤔
I think so😂😂
Me too.
I was 19 or 20 when I ended up operating one of these while working towards what I really wanted to do which was EMS and Emergency Communications. I'll tell you that's a beast of a machine, but I was to high strung to be in that truck all day. Truth is, I was never so bored in my life, lol. I mean you could tell the time of day by number of loads hauled, and that's no joke, lol. And so I did everything possible to show I was to valuable to be in it. Eventually I got into maintenance which I loved, and then the day came where I made it and got into what I really wanted to do.
Did you get trained at the job? Or did you go to a school for the training?
Let's not forget these guys get good a** money for what they do us dollars or whatever as they should be
That right there is what you call a Big Boy Tonka Toy.
Yeah these guys have very tight highway delivery windows. Most of the mines are accessible only by a two-lane highway. An extremely busy highway during shift changes.
Tonka trucks! The joy of my childhood
400 tonnes at 40 kmph translates to one hell of a deadly force. Ever think what would happen if you had to apply the brakes suddenly. How far would the trailer slide before it came to a halt ?
Like a train except worse , right ?
Mamoet's SPMT s are indeed majestic af. It's a sight to behold. Iam lucky to have seen one in skin
Heavyhauler out of Tx. These are the big boys! Very fortunate they are not going thru any cities if so would be a different story! 😉
Hauled through Texas lots. Eather run through the big cities at night usually with police escorts to help shut the city down or go around. Coming out of Louisiana is mandatory police escort with a superload. Police escort is fun they shut down any intersections and you don't stop for any red lights! There are massive staging areas on both sides of Ft. Macmurray so superloads can wait till dark to run through the city.
Unloaded a D11 cat today in Wyoming that came out of Sparwood BC. Snowstorm means I'll be visiting for a few days as our permits will be invalid till the snow gets cleaned up. (sorry if this doesn't interest you :)
@@madmattthehatter very interesting! I have only done 2 super loads and both were alot of ppwk and red tape! D11 that's s BIG BOY!! MAY GOD KEEP YOU SAFE!!
Man of the Match goes to... ANDY! Good JOB Man...
Nelson
Yeah boi, Nelson is my fav dude on the show! Look out Nelson!

Wooooow, 42 thousand dollars just for one wheel. What a bargain!!!
Thank you 🙏 for great 👍 video ! And big nicely heavy truck 🛻 works 24/7 👍👏👏👏👏have a joyful day !
This was a great show. Thank you for posting it.
Hello from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 you super 😮😮
Thank you and greetings back!
I worked all around that very area I even recognized almost every background shot and as a NCSO (SAFETY OFFICER) I woulxcsay Mammot is one of the best in the world, when it comes to heavy lift & transportation ! Ft Mac gets a bad rap from the eco loons who don't have a clue about how safety and the environment are the highest priority !
This is called real Engineering. Just amazing 😯
And I thought the big loads in Snowrunner were a pain, this is incredibly difficult
At 18:28 he says a 16 speed transmission it is actually an 18 speed transmission.
five actual gears.
there is a high and low range but only four of the gears are used in high range.
So now you are up to nine speeds. each of these gears can be "split" giving you a total of 18 speeds.
They forget to count low when counting the gears.
There is also a fire suppression system the operator can activate just in case the radiator catches fire while operating the mine truck. Emergency ladder included!
Wow. That is one big radiator lol. Great episode. Thanks for sharing..
Everyone gangster until the big truck transform as an desipticon.

Very impressive to see that size truck on a platform.. I just love how polite the driver is ... ️.
0:12 "Ah Fuck" well what a great way to start a documentary
XD
My favourite youtube channel..
7:30 the girls would love to hear that 🤣
I see what you did there 😎
Drove a Komatsu 830E AC for a minute here in rural Queensland, Australia. Lock out was 250ton - Coal and Dirt/Overburden. Ahhhuhhh. Most incredible monsters to drive. LOUD, and amazing!
