Liebherr's 800-Ton Mining Excavator Explained
Dirt World Stickers now available at dirtworldstore.com/
This video outlines my history with the Liebherr 9800, one of the world's largest hydraulic excavators.
We start in Colmar, France, the birthplace of each Liebherr Mining excavator. Liebherr was nice enough to have us for a tour years ago, my first glimpse at one of these monster machines.
But then, to see one at work, we had to travel down under to Australia, where nearly every 9800 made lives.
We take you through operations with Pembroke, Thiess, National Group, MacKellar, and Bravus, visiting five different 9800s working on three sites. Yes, I know I'm spoiled!!
To learn more about the machine, you can check out Liebherr's website at ...

Phosphate Mining in the Middle East
Просмотров 41 тыс.Месяц назад
We visited Jordanian phosphate mines last December thanks to our friends at The Near East Equipment Company, Jordan's Komatsu dealer. It's hard to overstate the importance of phosphate in the world - without it, we couldn't feed over half of the humans on Earth. However, the mining process is somewhat straightforward. Mining companies use large excavators, like the PC3000 and PC1250s we saw, to...

    Blah Blah Blah. We all know these things have a limited life span. The labor party plan to build 3300 of these useless piles of poop along the Great Dividing Range of Queensland Australia. But of course if you ask to see the Environment Impact Study as is the usual way to go about things the answer is , Oh this is about saving the environment so there is no need to worry about such procedures . Never mind all the transmission lines which will have to be built to carry the power out of the forest.

    Hey Aaron, it would be cool if you could dedicate a video properly explaining double benching, single benching and top loading. A lot of people probably don't understand. For diggers in Australia, these are the only three methods used for digging dirt.

    • @markfryer9880
      @markfryer9880 16 часов назад

      I'll second this comment. I am sitting here trying to work out just how that 9800 will work it's way from right to left along the bench when it keeps on digging out in front of itself? If I am puzzled then I am pretty sure that there are plenty of other viewers who are in the same position. 😊 We had a big excavator for the bulk earthworks of our two storey underground car park at work, it could fill a tipper and dog trailer in three passes each (from memory) but the 9800 would make it look like a toy.
