has the recession effect the mining industry?
islandwarrior16 3 years ago
Yeah, there are a number of mines closing down. It's not really hurting the Iron Ore sector, but things like Nickel, Zinc, and a few others are being affected a lot more than us.
Iron Ore has slowed down a bit, for example, some companies have put planned expansions on hold. But I haven't heard of any mines closing so far.
Some other mines though are being put into care and maintenance (basically closed/on hold), until the prices for the respective metals/materials starts coming back up.

its actually a v16 3508 series

actually, it's listed on caterpillars website that for this particular truck, a 785C, the engine is a 12 cylinder Cat® 3512B EUI twin turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine.
The Cat 789's have a V16 engine, while the largest trucks that Cat make, the 797's, are 24 cylinder monsters.
If you have a look at caterpillar's website, and look under mining applications (I think), you can see pictures of the trucks, and also of the engines that power them.

Hey the engine at the start sounded alright.
how do you get a licence 4 one of them.
mymate69 3 years ago
The engines in these particular trucks are V12 Caterpillar's, and in regards to licences, it depends where you want to work. In Queensland, some mine sites only require you to have a normal car licence, but in WA, they want you to have at LEAST a Medium Rigid licence, but it's better to have a Heavy Rigid truck licence. I should point out though that driving these trucks is simple, as they have power steering, and are fully automatic. It's just really the size you have to get use to.
