Loading Mine Trucks with Volvos BIGGEST Excavator- What NO ONE Ever sees

What happens here

The video returns to the mining site, showing excavators loading trucks in what is described as a 'pit' or 'cut'. The narrator explains the critical role of efficiency in this operation, stating that the value of the operation depends on how quickly trucks are loaded. He mentions load times of 45-55 seconds in gravel material and about 1 minute 15 seconds in tougher digging conditions. The importance of strategic truck positioning and minimizing excavator movement is highlighted to maximize productivity.

Goal: Explain the importance of efficiency and fast load times in the mining operation.

those trucks coming right back up coming back into the khutba here can get loaded again in about 15 and it's funny when you guys start to talk to the operators of production excavators they will tell the thing that makes a production home a how the trucks line up how they line up where exactly they park how close they are to the hoe so that the HOS moving of minimal distance and maximally loading and you've got to have a driver that understands what it's like to actually run a home yep all truck drivers are sites so you have to hose that service 11 a 45 no number 45 so then what's the difference besides the tonnage is it the age of the truck I don't know nice to meet you sir are you the big sexy brown bear what is the material it's a great clay with Brown rock and the value of an operation we do 600 loaves a day which is kind of 42,000 yards a day 15,000 thirty-eight ok 13:8 and the arterial is anywhere around you know $2 to $4 so that's yeah every day big sexy brown bear runs the business end of it and Gump runs the actual pit yeah that's it that's a good way to think about it so Travis won't focus on making sure that the client their needs effectively and really kind of looking at a more holistic business plan for this operation Tyler right here is actually primarily focused on making sure that when we're talking about our operation this is country just laugh or dump which we're headed towards he's making sure that our folks are trained appropriately they know what they're
