CAT 385BL excavator loading 40 ton ADT bed

[TurboGSR96]

that coupler and long stick kill the effectiveness of the machines size, combine that with an operator that insists on dragging the bucket through the dirt longer than needed every cycle makes for alot of lost time.... fire him and hire my unemployed ass you will get alot more loads per day than with this bozo running it.

@TurboGSR96 i fire you first.

Impressive operator - doesn't look like he touches the haul cables at all. Not so easy with that large (7yrd?) bucket.

@jserra17 yes he is, not sure of the yardage

I was wondering how deep of a hole is this machine operating in that they have to lower a dump truck bed down to it and how do they get the machine out once they are done digging? Thanks for the video. I thought it was great.

[cat325ccr]

@lidsman2221 The hole at its deepest point is 95 feet. They have a Manitowoc crawler crane that lifts all the machines out of there. There is also a Manitowoc 18000 crawler crane in this pit. It is The World Trade Center site in NYC or ground zero, i'm sure you have heard of it. Thanks
