see....the problem here is you aren't using a big enough excavator.......NOT! Wow, that is a nice piece of gear....loads trucks WAY faster than the 980G loaders we use around here!
-
@jdofmemi OK, that makes sense. I figured there was a reason, it just didn't occur to me that the haul was that long and still off road.

@JimBruce42 Jim the double bellys can run for about 2/3 the hourly rate of a 40 ton ADT. To top that off, they haul 25 tons each, ON road. Off road, more like 30 to 35 ton each, so 65-70 ton total load, at 2/3 the cost of an ADT. Then, on a long haul, the speed is much higher, and fill maintenance can be done with only a 16G blade.
I seen these on a freeway job a while ago with a 3 to 4 mile haul, all off road, and they were running 50 to 60 MPH ADT's are not even in the same ballpark
-
@jdofmemi If they are running offroad, why not just use off road trucks or ADT's instead?
-
These trucks are running off road only. That is why they are loading them so heavy.
-
are these trucks going back out on the highway with all that dirt sloppn off the top. That wouldnt fly in Utah

@SoCalEarthMovers BTW- Great new pics on the site!

Good Posision! Window for job...
Great vid and machine!! I remeber seeing a lot of double trailers (dog trailers?) when in SoCal. How come double trailers are used instead of a single big one? Manuverability?
Thanks!
