The Komatsu Super Dozer was Discontinued several years ago. It actually was brought to a job site from Komatsu on 6 flat bed trailers because it was huge. I seen these with my own eyes working. You have to see the Super Dozer with your own eyes to believe it's size!
*The speed and efficiency with which this machine operates are nothing short of remarkable. It's not just a time-saver; it's a game-changer that allows me to accomplish more in less time.*
3:36 No, as you can see, it has two axles, not four. Also, it weighs 360 tonnes, not 450. Some of the video footage is of a BelAZ 75601... The the bucket wheel excavator crossing the road is the Bagger 260, not 293.
Though we don't film these machines ourselves, the footage comes directly from the manufacturers, and we go through the manufacturer to research the specs of the machines, as well. Hope this helps clarify things!
The Peabody mine in Indiana had one of the oldest and biggest drag lines in operation. I remember hunting the ground next to it when I was kid. Was amazing to watch. It would walk so it had massive feet.
I'm very familiar the NASA transporter, been in Fl for almost 30 yrs and got a tour of KSC yrs ago, got within 10 yrds of one, huge machine, very cool, they were made by a firm that makes huge mining gear.
Truly amazing specially the last one that thing is out of this world,standing 30 stories tall I can’t even imagine what it would be like to sit in the operator’s seat just one time.😍😍😍😍😍
@@LordGizmo The people that drive these feel a great responsibility to the world around them I am sure. The people about the machine, their safety, the safety of those around them, and the operation of the machine, very confident operators indeed.
Interestingly, the bucket wheel excavator we showed (the Bagger 293 Bucket Wheel Excavator) is 2000 tons heavier than the Big Muskie! The Big Muskie, when it was in service, weighed 12,247 tons, whereas the Bagger 293 weighs 14,200 tons. That being said, the Muskie is quite the fascinating machine, we'll have to consider putting it in another video. :)
Big muskies story is the greatest of any machine It’s death hit really hard everyone was silent during the demolition instead of the clapping and cheering a few cried that day
@@Leatherface123. We're sorry that it had to go, it truly is a sad loss. If you'd like to see it along with some more of its massive companions, we've made a video on it now: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bAVTN-UHJFo.html
There will be more out there as way back in the day. Most just had their booms dropped and got buried as it was more cost effective to do that rather than cut them up for scrap..
The NASA Crawlers -- which are 55 years old have traveled over 3400 miles (on the same road way) and have the nicknames of Hans and Franz. As for Big Muskie, there are others as well, The Captain, Big Brutus (the largest surviving shovel), Silver Spade, GEM of Egypt, and perhaps others. You could do a video of these former large machines...
I operated heavy equipment for 37 an half years I had just got started with the new machine’s that were run by computers and just started learning how they worked. Then I fell getting in side my track-hoe on a rainy morning and slipped and fell backwards from 8 feet in the air and landed on my right side hip area. But the 3 1/4 years I was away things really changed in machinery, but when I went back to work full time I was like a kid in a toy store, I had the biggest and the baddest toys in my sand box,,, and after I came back to work it was to me like living in a dream. I was my own boss I didn’t have anybody standing over me telling me that you need to do this or that all day long, nope my two bosses would come in on a Monday morning and tell me what they needed to have done or completed bye a certain time and ask can you get it done by curtain time? And of course I would say yes as long as you don’t come and pull me off to go do something that one of the other operators can do.?? And I also ask them are you going to come and take my equipment away from me also?? They told me no !! This is your job now and we have a surprise for you tomorrow morning once you get here.?? Any who But I got to work the very next morning and their set two brand spanking new track hoes and two front end loaders and two bulldozers..!?!? Everything everything a person could want to complete any job. And I did just that until the day I stepped out of the the dozer one evening getting ready to fuel it for the next morning and I slipped in some fuel run over and tore my knee apart and couldn’t walk again for 6 years and I haven’t been back on a piece of equipment since 2009 but if I could find one that’s not to hard on my back and knees I would jump right in the deep end... that’s something that I could brag about because I was good on a machine after 37 years.!!!!
Sir, My prayers for your continued physical healings from all mentioned accidents on the job in operating heavy equipments. What shocking real stories to hear from a giant machine operator himself.
37 cubic yard bucket…That is larger than a small house built for 4 people….a 97 cu. yd. bucket would be the size of a standard 2 bedroom home…food for thought. What if they could get a scoop of ice cream with that?
@@LordGizmo im a 3500/F-350 guy more than brand loyalty.... But the OBS Fords are my favorite fords and very few Chevys would be their equal. Especially if their diesel or need to go off road
Us, too! The scale of that equipment is absolutely astronomical, each one of those scoops could fit a dozen adults, and carry several tons in weight! Humanity has come a long way from picks and shovels. Sorry for the late reply, the comment got lost with everything else hehe.
When such a beast left its pit to crawl to another one this was always a big spectacle. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aZNGHxd-PwI.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wh0bTaRLiNA.html
when that Bucket Wheel Excavator goes into retirement, they better put it on display instead of demolishing it. taking the same fate as Big Muskie, The Captain, and The Silver Spade.
@Uno Gubber A cubic yard is 46,656 cubic inches, and a cubic meter is 61,023.8 cubic inches. Regardless, it can be agreed these are impressive figures, no?
*It's electric-powered with no engine" would like a chat with the on-board diesel generators that are responsible for generating the electrical power.*
It was likely referring to either a machine that can come with an either an electric or a fuel-based power source, or that the electric motors were powered by an engine. Hope this helps!
The funny thing about a bulldozer is it can't carry anything. It's only capable of pushing. For it to be able to carry it is called a Carrydozer. Usually fitted with a 4 in 1 bucket therefore the narrator is politically incorrect...
At 2 minutes and they boast about the 53-yard Komatsu front loading bucket but when he goes to fill it with dirt he doesn't even get the bucket full what gives
