That is me in the grocery store. Since I am 37, look 20s, and just incredibly thin you can't see I am suffering from double organ failure. My BP gets dangerously low so I was told to use a scooter. People tend to give me such dirty looks since I shop at a pretentious store called Wegmans. (Think Whole Foods). Especially when I light a cig on the way putting away groceries. A few puffs off a cig help raise my BP. In Vegas I guess where my peeps are at.
I loved the shots of them moving the monster of vehicles through the city roads. Couldn't imagine just my normal commute in the morning getting held up by a convoy of mining vehicles with wheels twice the size of my car.
Reminds me of the time I was part of the Police escort team moving a fleet of Cat 777's about ten miles from one coal mine to another. The route took us through two towns as well as country roads. One lady failed to see the Police motorcycle and two patrol cars spaced out ahead of the trucks....the raised lettering on the side of the tyre (English) actually scuffed along the side of her car leaving black streaks!
10:40 'more efficiently' is one way to put it it increases the power output to just over 6000hp doubles the uphill speed to around 40km/h reduces engine wear and consumes 20L less fuel per km youre connected to(which is massive when you consider these machines use 260 litres per hour) minexpo was pretty great this year though, i still think cat is behind the curve when it comes to progress but that side loading power thing theyre doing? that interests me a lot its just a shame they had literally no useful information about it
It will be interesting to see if any iron ore mines here in Western Australia take it up, if there's a dollar to be saved they'll certainly look at it.
@@peterfalconer-h3k thats the thing, theres many many many dollars to be saved, but most companies dont care about investing in themselves theres enough things that can be done to reduce carbon output by like 30-45% that would MAKE MONEY like literally costs negative thousands of dollars per ton of co2 reduced over its lifespan these trucks have even more benefits than that since they literally do their job faster and getting the electricity to power them? solar is one of the highest money making projects there are, it costs like -1600$ per ton of co2 reduced over its lifespan the roi is like 5 years and they have a 20 year life span, you literally just print money
@@vincentgrinn2665 you know what happened when the ice age ended and the carbon started to be released? Yeah nothing, we did nothing. Fixating on Co2 scam is stupid. Making cost savings in business that benefit the environment through lower consumption? Smart. Smart people know co2 is a scam, so give it a rest.
3:28 The weight you specify is the gross weight (the weight of the truck + the weight of the payload). The truck itself weighs around 247 metric tonnes.
Even after all these years of being into heavy earth moving machinery my jaw still drops to the floor when I see these massive machine's, they never fail to impress 😊
When you see these things in their natural habitat in the mines, they look tiny (relatively), but when they are indoors around people you see just how huge they are. Kinda like when you bring home, what looks like a reasonably sized Christmas tree, only for it to barely fit through the front door of your house, and take up half of your living room.
Randomly saw this in my feed and decided to check it out. Crazy machines - and what a good video showing the logistics of this event. Very interesting - might even check this show out one year because I know the videos don't do it justice lol.
My first mine expo 1986 in Chicago at McCormick Center . Working for Eimco Coal Machinery we had 50 Hotel rooms at Hyatt . Went Vegas several times have admit do miss hanging out Big Iron !
Love seeing those massive machines moving around a suburban setting, they just look so comically huge lol, compared to when they look like miniatures in a big mining pit!
Nice one. Good collab footage, too. I think the name for the electrical hook up is a pantograph. At least this is whet it's generally called on locomoties. I think this is because of the double sprung arms. For example the wipers on cars, lorries and coaches that sweep with a double pivot are also called pantographic wipers.
@@TheDieselndust yah that is the most impressive part. Putting in big doors and high roofs is fairly simple. To put in a slab to handle that kind of weight would increase the budget for that building a lot.
@@TheDieselndust they built it with this in mind. they also do the concrete show every year and they do the machine tool and plastic molding machine show every few years . all that stuff weighs lots
great video! i really enjoyed seeing all those massive machines in action. but honestly, i'm kinda surprised they chose Vegas as the location. isn’t it more about entertainment than engineering? just seems a bit off to mix the two in that way. what do you all think?
there is a few p&h shovels working at detour lake gold in ontario with all the 400ton haul trucks they have they are one of the biggest open pits gold mine in Canada
I have to admit, I’ve never really thought much about the logistical side of big trade shows like this. Watching this video really opened my eyes to how much work it takes to move out all this heavy machinery after such an enormous event. The fact that they’re able to disassemble everything and load up these machines so quickly just goes to show how professional the teams behind this are. But here’s something I’m curious about: how much of the mining industry’s technology is actually designed for efficiency and how much is built just to be bigger and better than the competition? I know we’re talking about some seriously advanced tech here, but it feels like there’s this constant push to build bigger machines to handle more, even though mining itself is such a controversial industry, environmentally speaking. Sure, these big machines can haul more tons, but how much are they actually helping the planet versus harming it?
It's about efficiency and economies of scale, if there's a cheaper way of doing something mining companies will definitely look at and they're becoming much more environmentally aware too. When it comes to trade shows the equipment is there and to the casual observer it looks operational. In reality exhibitors' do an absolute minimum as far as assembly is concerned, very little of what you see would be in a state where it could be signed off as ready to operate.
If you think one 798 truck assembled in a week is impressive, one a day is finished being built in decatur illinois. Every midel there, one a day rolls off the line ready to ship out. Was there recently on a tour
I’ve managed countless conventions and companies during exhibitions and I’ve gotta say, managing jet olanes into the convention area was WAY simpler than these behemoths. A jet might take a maximum of about 10 - 15 people calling warnings. These fucking construction beasts? Minumum of 20-30 people making sure the height of the boom, the cab, the turn of the whole equipment as they navigate throughout the whole convention center, the carpets… omg the carpets… Total respect to the union at the convention centers for dealing with these logistics…
A lot of people have not recognized that these are the world's biggest vehicles and they're inside a building that makes them look tiny how big is that building I seen it several times I didn't think it was that big
Any sign of big equipment going plug-in-hybrid? Putting 10 tons of batteries on one of them wouldn't affect them much and then they could move around without engaging the engine and getting some regen when going down hill.
Engineer 1: "How tall can we build the new machine?" Engineer 2: "Hold on a sec, let me get the dimensions of the front door of the L.A. Convention Center." 😁😜
Any idea of the logistics involved both in investment cost and time frame involved put this together because many of these machines need to be transported in pieces, assembled on site the disassemble, loaded back up and transported out of the convention center. The logistics has to be huge on top of the investment required.
that big empty space is used for suspension travel which these have quite a bit of and all really depends on material type, front and rear weight ratios/bias when loaded, hauling conditons - flat/uphill, smooth/rough etc, what the truck is carrying in the tray is the biggest factor i believe a fine material like coal a tailgate could be used to haul more material unlike overburden/dirt that can be quite blocky material where a flat tray with a tailgate would get destroyed after a few loads cause of massive rock getting stuck and hitting the tailgate. So generally they make a tray that can fit all uses, ive worked at a place where they use a big oversize tray to haul coal and the gap you noticed is nowhere near as big but in turn when the tray is tipped up its possible to have the tires and tray contact if not on deadflat ground
This feels like a human playing with a toy truck but in reverse. Like the truck is normal-sized and there are toy-sized humans around it. It looks so sureal.
I don't know much about the Liebherr 264, but the 284 is junk. The site I work at had about 10 of them and within about 5 years they are all clapped out and in the bone yard scrapped for parts. Meanwhile the Caterpillar's and to a lesser extent the Komatsu's are going strong

I've been in mining for over 12 years and i can say your videos are amazing Aaron! love the work! Fun Fact, i work for Thiess, Great company
3:28 The weight you specify is the gross weight (the weight of the truck + the weight of the payload). The truck itself weighs around 247 metric tonnes.
thank you
Was thinking these seemed so heavy thy might break the building's foundation, plus how would they go with the added payload.
@@newsgetsold My thoughts exactly, more than 600t that does not seem right, lets check the specs.
Even after all these years of being into heavy earth moving machinery my jaw still drops to the floor when I see these massive machine's, they never fail to impress 😊
The fact they bring all the parts to assemble the giant dump truck just for the show and then have to disassemble after is crazy to me

Ohh , this nice To continue in that profession throughout this period
Incredible scale shots and camera work from you and street footage from awesome earthmovers!

Same principal as the type of pantograph you're thinking of but on a much larger scale.
Great video Aaron. Thaxs.
Unbelievable 🤯🤯🤯 going here is defo on my bucket list but 1st Bauma next year for my 1st time 🤞🏻
B roll extravaganza with that move out lol but that works for future content
Do they have that “new car/excavator” smell? ;-)
Amazing that convention center has a high enough ceiling to accommodate those giant machines!
kind of haha
Also a slab that can support the weight!
@@TheDieselndust no kidding, you need an engineers report just to use a 6 ton boom lift on concrete
the convention center floor must be 10ft thick

Great Video Thank you
Another sick vid thanks
Bloody beautiful.
hilarious watching those mining trucks on the road being followed by golf cart " chase vehicles"
It's almost unbelievable how some of these machines are bigger than actual houses
Well, Liebherr already started building their bauma stand in Munich, gotta be exciting on the otger side of the pond as well 😀
great show!🤓

Like what you did at the start...I'm watching till end now.
nice
No mention of the Leibherr Fortescue-Williams electric machines? I hope you have something planned for this, because these machines are fascinating
amazing
These massive machines are quite prolific. In most cases, hundreds operate around the globe.
That's way too many big toys in one place. Looks like a good time
Hitachi shovel was the heaviest piece of equipment there
All heavy equipment platforms looked like statue of liberty platform

I like how there were no dippers there. Only a simulator of a 4800.
How do all the manufacturers get the equipment to Vegas? That seems more difficult then getting into the building
I want that service truck.
How much do the tires on the 798 cost each -- Ima guess about $15K each.
that intro was funny
Insane.
No mention of the Caterpillar 24 motor grader or the industry leading 995.
So how do they ship them in and out of vegas? I cant imagine how that would ever fit on a flatbed truck or anything else?

Sometimes I wonder if instead of 798 someome suggested 798,000,000 but got denied.
It must cost a ton of money to display at that show?
Millions but it's part of a company's advertising budget.
Where are they getting shipped to ? Around Nevada?
most go abroad

Sir, do yo know how fast you were going?? Uh 0.5mph??? No, 0.7.. :D
what would be great if you could find out some ballpark prices on these monsters. like is a 797 10 million or 20 million?
5 million would be a ballpark figure for a 797.
797’s are $10-12MM I think
I wonder if they don’t build them bigger because they won’t fit in the convention hall?
they have bigger ones that don't fit
