Brings nostalgia to me hearing where some of these trucks end up .... I hauled machines and parts into these fields in Alberta out of Marion, Ohio. This waa back in the day of draglines, now mostly replaced by hydraulic-operated machines.
Just a note: I visited the Oil Sands operation in Ft Mcmurray (2006). These trucks are very impressive. What impressed me equally is women are the preferred drivers for these trucks. Are you surprised? Woman make better drivers because they are more "attentive" according to the records there.
Random question: these haul trucks run off a diesel electric hybrid engine similar to a locomotive configuration. Who is working on a diesel electric conventional semi powerplant?
In 1978 tire technology was lagging . Otherwise Wabco 3200 haulpac would of held 400-450 ton then with todays tires . Locomotive 12 645E loco engine . Trucks were big then , these are bigger now
@@bibberp4036 i think they also make loaders somewhere in il too, i see a heavy haul company run up and down route 59 all the time with the frames or other components to their huge loaders im pretty sure they are 986 and up
@@noahdziadyk3412 Loaders are built at the same Decatur plant where the mining trucks are assembled. Not sure what is running along Rt 59. When the Aurora plant was still running I would image you'd see equipment passing. I used to work for Cat Logistics and managed many of those freight lanes.
11:44 Yea Brother I drove a cat haul truck in the mine and loved it I work 7on and 7 off I love cat haul trucks my truck made semi trucks look like toys they had to have buggy whips on the side of the cars and trucks so us haul truck drivers can see them haul truck always had the right away and never cut in front of a haul truck it will end yr day badly I came close to running over a pick up in the mine cause the driver ran the stop sign the driver was lucky I seen them I blew my air horn at the driver and got on the radio then MSHA heard it they took over
Not a complete video! Someone has chopped segments out and did a poor job. Wish it would have been complete--start to finish. What was shown was very interesting. Got irritated after seeing much cut out and stopped. If shown in its entirety it would have been worth watching.
You could call it "heat treating" ... but it's almost better to call it "cool treating" ... bc it's the speed at which the heated metals are allowed to cool that determine how hard (and brittle) vs how soft and malleable they are. Neither are stronger, which is a function of Young's Modulus (Stress-Strain Curve).
