Volcanologist Dr David Cummings has said that The Newer Volcanics Province in Victoria Australia is made of four shield volcanoes and associated vents: Red Rock, Mt. Napier, Mt. Schank, and Mt. Gambier. They last erupted between 5850 and 2900 B.C. Mount Shank is full of Diamonds left over from the last eruption, about 300 foot down.
If you guys want to see some thing really crazy. You should check out the ice road truckers that run load on the frozen lakes in the north west territories here in Canada to the Damian mines in the winter.
The guys running the loaders at the gravel pits here want you right next to the pile, and at about a 45* angle to the loader. The trucks are never behind the loader at any time. A lot more efficient operation. MUCH shorter cycle times.
We loaded our own trucks. Usually if you parked the truck in an arc around the stockpile it was easiest but sometimes the ground had holes which would make the loader shake and spill rocks.. so we'd avoid that spot.. or a boulder too big to shift..
Nice Engine! I know this Cummins QSK 19 from Dieselrailcars from germany those Cummins Qsk 19's have 750 HP and sound just great, just like yours. Thanks for the great video!
Hello from the U.S.A. I work in a underground mining operation in NW Montana. I drive a 50 ton Atlas Copco haul truck with the QSK 19 Cummins and that thing is a monster. There are cat haul trucks with the C18, and the cummins walks away from them on every hill no matter how big the load. We have over 15,000 hours on 3 of these motors and they have not been touched yet. The power is amazing. Fully loaded I can pull a steep hill in 4th gear.
The Cummins QSK 19 dieselengines are heavyduty engines and they are made for working hard. You can try what you want but you aint gonna get a QSK to break down. Even when you turn overrevs al day long the engine will lauch at you and keep on going.
They are side tippers. Right hand wall of the trailer opens down and the whole trailer lifts up from the left spilling the contents out(on the ground on the right) as you drive along slowly. sequence is last trailer, middle trailer, first trailer.
Thank you for the reply aerodyne666. Out of the 3 main engines that are put into kenworth trucks, which is your favorate, the cummins, cat, or detroit diesel?
These trucks are used in a production mining environment, hauling a round trip of 180km, 3 times per shift. For approx 550 km (10.5 engine running hours) you would put in around 680 litres.
The road trains on this vid are on a private mine haul road so axle weights are only determined by manufacturers specifications rather than a public roads authority.
Great Kenworth, good driving. We don't get them over here in this country of ours, that's britain. We poms have to have smaller rigs, because our road are small in the towns. Poms, that's what you aussies call us. Did you know that pom is short for propety of her majesty. So the joke is on you aussies HAHAHAHAHA.
Had some subbies with macks running quad trailers but lower gross mass. They were running signature engines. I used to drive a Kenworth twin steer tri drive on highway truck with a QSK engine. They need to use a twin steer to keep the steer axle weight legal because the 19 litre QSK is too heavy for a single steer.
Ross, Western Australia has many road trains. Look at seek or careerone and search for "MC" or "Road Train". Trains that run east/west ie perth/sydney only tow 2 trailers but running north from Perth you can tow 3 trailers
hey, thanks for the reply. i go with my next door neighbour in a semi log truck that runs a 620hp cummins signature engine. i also go with a b-double freightliner argosy that runs a 550 hp cat. i llove these road trains tho. one day hopefully i will get to drive one. is it rare to get a job driving one of these. you can call me ross.
im 13 from victoria Australia is this in Australia? im pretty sure. looks like QLD or NT or maybe WA? Anyway to drive one of the beauty's do you have to have a special licence? i just love the soun d! hell yea
kEnWoRtH123456789 Its in Western Australia, about 5 hours east of Perth near a town called Southern Cross. You need a MC(B Double or Road Train) licence to drive these trucks.
No CATs, only Cummins QSK's. I heard they were getting a better service life out of them between major rebuilds. We ran them between 1800rpm and 2200rpm. Took some getting used too running that high.
Would rather drive a cat though. These were about as responsive as a steam engine

I reckon they should rate truck engines in torque, not horespower.
Afterall, thats what determines how much it can pull. Horsepower just keeps it there.

Surprised the trucks aren't parked a little closer to the pile. Lots of dead time between dumps.
