thanks for the info on the vid and i understand the importance of radio comms as i work at dbs tanami granites gold mine no room for error cause someone will get killed
I was there for this demonstration at KCGM. It was just the chassis. A few of us got to have an up close look afterwards and it was just insane how flat it was. The truck was only going about 20km/h and had nothing in the tray. Can't imagine what would happen if it had a full 250T load on.
Nice, but completely fake. The allegedly pick up wasn´t so. It was just it´s body and tires. The engine and transmission have been removed previously. Nevertheless it´s an idiot idea to jerk with a piece of equipment that costs million of dollars.
might be just a chasis and wheels but it designed to teach newcomers to the mine the dangers of what is around you and how dangerous mines are if your not completely switched on.And as if the mines could'nt afford it, they buy new dump trucks every year or two anyway
It was the newest truck on site at the time, truck 231, and there was a little damage to the step ladder, Pos 2,3 & 4 tires and that was about it.
And Stymye - this was a once off to show the importance of radio communication between utes and trucks. The average citizen can be thankful for the shock it gave everyone - it's easy to get complacent when you've been driving trucks for a few years and this demo reminded us how careful we have to be to ensure nobody is killed on site.
no wonder raw materials are so high, look at how many people are standing around during work hours. the average citizen is paying for this fun time out of their pockets
the ute was an old busted up piece of #hi$.... that is why they did it... all mine sites run landcruisers and they get to a point where they cannot be fixed... like this one....
that was done at the kcgm super pit in kalgoorlie... they now have that ute on display as you come into the gates of KCGM. to make you aware that LV's are nothing compared to those trucks
complete fckwits that was a perfectly nice mcfcken ute i wudav so dun that up have some respect u peices of shit dont skwish onother damn one ofr il mc fuckin burn dat dump mctruck
guess he picked a shitty place to park

Kalgoorlie consolidated gold mines
the land cruiser was still at the front gate as a reminder to keep safe at the pit
