Caterpillar 988K Wheel Loader (Block Handler) Working On Underground Marble Quarries - Nordia Marble

[@LeonaPrime]

I really appreciate you, bringing us a bunch of high quality machine videos. You are really filling that niche so well. Thanks.

looks like old marble quarry's would make great underground mansions.

That thing has to be $1.5M all kitted out like that. I found a 2019 with 4,500 hours on it for $.9M. Just, wow

[@V4zz33]

Komatsu WA900 1.2M EURO with a big ass bucket, 30 tons I think it can lift with it. The bucket is wider than the chassis. The 1.2 mill is coming from a colleague, so no official price from management.

It's a billion dollar in industry gotta have that nice equipment

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

good to see underground quarry work again with caterpillar equipment.

[@mp6756]

It's very hard to watch without wanting to grab the controls and move the material differently than the operator is.

[@wantapgt]

Was thinking the same. What a frustrating video to watch

[@nickgarnero9843]

I kept shouting in my mind tilt up on those forks so many times. Must be different leveraging those blocks out of spaces then it looks.

[@mp6756]

@@nickgarnero9843 I agree it must be really challenging to work between the roof and the floor like that. I found myself on the edge of my seat reaching for the controls watching it.

Not an equipment operator but from my point of view a great display patience and skill.

[@MustObeyTheRules]

That’s way too much of a pain to get those blocks out like that. Would drive me crazy

[@mq4626]

i wonder how much it would cost, to build a residence in that mountain of marble, could you imagine how beautiful it would look... every wall, made solid from marble. of course some parts would be custom walls, so you could have privacy and electrical through out, but WOW just WOW

[@jeffjohnson1464]

I like work. I could watch somebody do it all day. Lol

[@martinbone2889]

Pro operator! You can see how he can handle the machinne for the last stone....was to havy just to lift ...and he was gently putting to the ground and than drag with the forks to split the weight and not to make so much stress on the machinne ...operator with brain !!nice job!

[@cthunter41]

Need some hydraulic pop up teeth on those forks to help pull the slab back

[@peanuts2105]

But look at that beautiful marble ceiling

[@buttondeity3933]

there has got to better way to load and transfer theses blocks. the time and fuel wasted is incredible.

[@6Diego1Diego9]

not much fuel wasted at all. and these granite slabs are worth a lot of money.

[@vr6glx96]

I would love to do this for a living. I run a Cat 938m at a salvage yard.

[@jjlopez3058]

Chief what do you do with heavy stuff? I used a 950 to move an old telescopic handler I had to drag that thing ‘cause it was to heavy, even using my extension forks. So I wonder if it was myself (operator) or if there is an easy way to do it. Thanks for sharing tips

[@benjaminswanson1585]

Such an incredible machine! That said, I still wouldn’t be caught dead under a hollowed out mountain. Maybe I just have claustrophobia.

[@holliegould3463]

perhaps so.e sort of grabber arm attatchments would make the process of pulling them out easier? like once they're out far enough, the blocks could be grabbed by some lil arms from the sides so the operator doesn't have to scoot back and forth over and over?

[@j-bdekker4871]

More like 20 tonnes, that is one hell of a big loader...

[@jims146]

Marble weights about 170 pounds per cubic foot. One cubic meter weight 2710 KG. The loader height is 3.8 meters. Tires are 30 inch wide. I say about 15 tons.

God, these front tyres must be 20cm thick to be able to hold that big of a load, when the loader is tipped.

[@mitchellriddle2274]

It would be easier if you could wedge air bags behind the marble! Less damage, more product! But I also know time is of the essence.

[@mikethorntonr1]

I've been watching this for about 30 seconds and why don't they make an attachment with a fork on the bottom and then 2 on each side to clamp the marble all they have to so is cut a couple pockets out in the marble which wouldn't be hard and then have less chance of breaking the blocks and much quicker

[@robertheintz8017]

These guys do this for living. If there was a better way they would already be doing it.

[@mikethorntonr1]

@@robertheintz8017 lmao no that's no true at all just no one has thought of it yet but it will be made shit changes every day could be doing something the same way for 100 years but if someone comes up with a better idea guess what you're no longer doing it that 100 year old way anymore

[@bobbyr.7578]

how they do the very top cut, at the roof? at 2:26 you can see that cut goes well beyond the removed block

[@mesh1248]

I wonder how they cut the marble like that?

[@ronliebermann]

They should put a camera on the bulldozer, and let customers choose the block of marble that they want.

[@TheDennisZb]

How do they cut those blocks?

Water jet I would imagine

The blocks are cute either with a giant chainsaw type machine or with a big wire saw.

[@josephbennett3482]

Caterpillar is a construction machine manufacturer and John Deere is a Farm tractor and equipment manufacturer and dealer , both Caterpillar and JD are American companies. Caterpillar is more expensive because of the type of machine they produce.

[@4touchdowns1game29]

[@22k203902]

Tires, which represent the highest single cost factor for the operation of a wheeled unit, are sensitive to cuts, punctures and other damage. Their high value and world-wide-shortage means that Tire Protection Chains solve many of these problems.
