Doubled the Length, But Will That Solve the Problem?

Since we started using our £500k ‪@LiebherrGroup‬ Material Handler we've had a problem reaching the 2nd line to offload the wagons. We worked closely with Liebherr to come up with a solution... a longer arm, but will that create more issues?

[@Orkneyboom]

I'm not sure how Ashville, Daniel and the team manage to make a 18 minute video about changing the boom on a material handler and have me hooked from start to finish... I seriously think they could make a feature film about cleaning mud from a dumper and I'd pay to see it in the Odeon...

[@sharkystreet3930]

i guess we all love machines

[@ShainAndrews]

I made it two seconds and knew it was bollocks. You must be into that sort of thing.

[@HarleyCaplin]

Now you’ve got to change the arm on all of the soft toys to match 😂

[@joggingmixlondon6895]

😂 I like it 😂 …Mine that I purchased is first in line 😂

[@markarmstrong2592]

Fair play Daniel for spending all that money that nobody cares about and good man Flo for adopting so quick and learning in a short space of time great video guys

[@seancoleman8528]

Very impressed with the operator flo very skilled driver , well done Daniel for finding a solution

[@tonynewman8586]

Skilled driver ??? He’s emptying wagons ??? A good machine driver wouldn’t be doing that 😂😂

[@TheByard]

Flo makes it flow.

[@TheByard]

@@tonynewman8586 He's driving a very expensive piece of equipment, from very expensive wagons. Where, if damage is done very expensive downtime.

[@jameshancock18]

@@tonynewman8586 pipe down hater

[@skoomskaa]

@@TheByard no use trying to convince that dude. From his comment you can tell he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It takes a very skilled operator to do that job safely AND efficiently. Not only is he swinging that bucket but he’s also maneuvering that machine all over the yard.

[@Mr456sb]

Off loaded a few trains loads of ballast , at Manchester metro link job , a few yrs ago now , watching this I wonder if people appreciate how easy it is to derail the wagons . Nice to see a smooth steady operator , hat s off to Flo , best wishes from New Zealand

[@Mike-qv3pz]

Now the LH60 looks like a beast. The smaller arm looked so strange imo.

[@Nind-yu4sz]

A standalone train montage. Love it

[@scublessbunney]

You're only as good as your worker's.

[@johnnyyen3007]

Uraaaaa, a train montage at last, I've missed my fix ! I'm really glad that you've got everything sorted out, and your wise words at the end are so true: You need to build great relationships with your suppliers and contractors, and give staff the right tools for the job to keep everyone happy and make Ashville more efficient and cost effective. Well done! ❤

[@examinerian]

Hey, look - it's a train offload video!! Excellent!

[@djpjreal]

one great thing i love about daniel is that he takes care of his employees and the machines, especially giving them bluetooth :)

[@NZHazard]

Very impressed Daniel, its been a long time coming, and working with Liebherr & GBFR to resolve an ongoing issue which would benefit yourselves, but their companies as well. Looking forward to see what other improvements you can do at the yard to innovate for your customers and drive efficiency (like your bagging plant.).

[@harrymarshall-lack]

Very impressive bit of kit! Looks more and more like a dinosaur of the machine, which is awesome! Thanks for sharing your journey and so exciting to see your dream become reality.

[@DarkAngel-oq5ox]

I don't know Jack about any of this, but yet I've sat and watched it all with interest! Excellent work by all.

[@aiad26]

I believe the first video I watched for Ashville was the delivery of the LH60. Kinda shocked it has been 2 years since then.

[@tomsawyer8102]

flo is a master! love the content Daniel! been here since episode 1, never stop, youre an insperation to tradies all over the world!

[@joggingmixlondon6895]

It’s arrived. Yey! And, I missed the trains. Good job Flo, and all the teams involved. It’s always nice seeing you smile Daniel. Congratulations it’s all marvellous. Take Care❤😊

[@gregchapman5556]

Nice to see it all worked out 👍Flo is da man 👌.

[@Blackwater_House]

Brilliant Technical Episode, with great camera coverage AND it included A TRAIN. Congratulations all round.

[@jaymitchell1181]

Nice to see you upgrading/getting rid of the 2019 wagons via auction can't wait for the video

[@fittermatt]

I’m impressed at how well the truck is cleaned out by the clamshell bucket

[@bryyazz8313]

Ashville on a Wednesday thats a treat😋

[@alvaanderson1123]

Fantastic addition to the LH60. Great job. I'm from Jamaica, really look forward to your videos

[@Probity100]

So cool ! A train and LH60 montage! Well done Daniel. I love machinery & trains and one day I will tour this yard.

[@jasonwright131]

I really like how excited Daniel gets for his business. i wish i still had that excitement for my business. hope i can get that back again.

[@leegardner5002]

Daniel seems the kind of owner/gaffer that rings somebody to pick something off the floor so he doesn’t have too

[@TheHarrelfarm]

The production quality on this video is amazing, These people should be making movies!

[@stankolodin5586]

12:10 was a very video game like shot. Also I know everything is possible but if an engineer calculated that the expended reach stick won't tip the unloader then it probably won't. For builders, the suspense was well built. No pun intended.

[@Keadwikead]

Once again. Daniel and the team did an amazing job!

[@MonkeyGus]

Nice watching the Liebherr mechanics at work, real pro's.

[@machinehireltd9242]

Great to see a beast of a machine, doing the job it was purchased to do with an operator who has serious teckers..and a boss who is an insperation to all

[@thevoo..6988]

Kenya is here 🇰🇪🇰🇪💯💯

[@Guka_Official]

Tuko wengi 😹😹😹

[@bleakyfinder2692]

Well thought out Daniel, excellent. Flo is a Golden Handler, worth his weight in Gold to your Company.

[@johnpeplow3985]

The LH60 is a fantastic piece of kit and the man using it is very skilled at his job.

[@leechez7470]

How bloody interesting was that love these little things you’d never see or think about. Another class vid by Asheville

[@dangandiecast]

Glad to see the new configuration on the LH60 is up and running!

[@alexanderscaffold7149]

Finally a train #montage 🙌 you should have a single channel dedicated to unloading and loading of trains, live streaming with no editing 👌 you know it makes sense.

[@Jonathan-mk1ju]

@ashville Totally agree, a channel for live streaming trains.

[@bentleymtafu23]

Its really cool that the videos are made for everyone. You don't need to have been on a mine to get it, vid is so well done

[@jdrenovations]

I'm glad it worked out Daniel, it looks great.

[@jamalrajput1]

Hats off to the driver 👍

[@wojciechwybicki8663]

Fantastic! Congrats TEAM!

[@TheByard]

Hallet & Silbermann, Thats a name from the past well I'm talking the 1960s and setting the main supply and spoil loading site. At Ferry Lane, Tottenham where tunnel spoil was brought to the surface via a bottom dump system from the twin tunnels. Onto a conveyor belt up an incline and dumped in the yard for loading into Halls 11 cy trucks using a Matbro FE loader. H & S did a lot of equipment installation and transport for the Victoria Line tube project. I would like to suggest casting a level slab, to store the spare bucket and carry out the swap. This will ensure the pins line up easily and hoses don't drag in the dirt. Again, speeding up the changeover even more.

[@robertamurrant]

The new graphics guy is doing a great job. Loved the highlighting of the various parts you were talking about.

[@bobbytrollo]

To celebrate, I think we should have a montage of train montages?

[@Lando_P1]

Very nice. I’ve heard of other guys wishing they had a longer stick. I’ve never had an issue reaching the furthest corner of a rail car.

[@trajo189]

Quality video. Daniel and video team, Flo, Liebherr & GB railfreight great stuff.

[@OscarsDesignSpace]

I really enjoyed that thanks for showing us content that nobody else does. Aspirational!

[@j.m.5995]

I like Flo's Workflow. The man just cannot be shaken

[@wezdaynes2072]

Daniel you have a great driver in that machine. That has to be the best thing you paid for. Great video

[@GregNow]

16:04 awsome! great peace of equipment

[@keithrogers2107]

the smile on your face says it all !! well done , whats the next challenge

[@Jdigger4130]

much respect on yer company dude! we do things much different here in California and always like seeing how its done in other places! hoping fer yer success and will watch how yer liehberr iron plays out. literally zero machines here in norther cali to speak of. my guys say they don't last in our conditions n they buy cat Komatsu n Deere Hitachi . always cool seeing a man succeed! couldn't imagine doin biz like this in London!

[@TheByard]

The idea is to buy near where spares etc. are available quickly. What conditions are they referring to, as the weather in the US is found in other places around the world.

[@marcmcsorley7707]

Never doubted it 👍 Have you ever thought about a Poly Cutting edge for the clamshell? I saw an episode where you were trying to cut the noise of scraping.

[@alfrichter969]

awesome video we do that all day on the scrapyard of my company we are deloading 18+ waggons per shift plus we are loading scrap into vessels up to 60 tons per vessel we load up to 40 of these per 8h shift then it gets molten into bars and other forms best job i ever worked at

[@everestyeti]

That thing was a beast even before it got the extra long arm, now it's on another level. Saving a 100 hundred hours a year is quite a bit when your dealing with material management.

[@russjam121]

Glad you found a solution with liebherr Daniel. Especially as the lh60 was originally unfit for purpose. Now it is the machine you actually ordered. 👍

[@Kitchevo]

Awesome piece of kit! Now you have no excuse to bring back the train montages!!!!

[@conorjordan9029]

Dan sitting here with the family waiting for episode 112

[@antonoat]

Flo is the man! 👏👍😀. Really interesting film guys, best of luck with this moving forward!

[@todortoshkov]

Now, may we have MOAR train montages, please! :)

[@charecedavis-jones8505]

This was an awesome video! Great job, Flo!

[@smtsoftwaresolutions1966]

I loved this video. I can see Ashville becoming a Netflis series in the future.

[@paulkeogh3518]

Well done Flo!

[@inamghafoor]

aaaaaah the train montage returns!

[@ryanscott4703]

This calls for a train montage. Keep smashing it

[@LordMuck]

Well done Daniel - proper job there 😉👌🏼

[@LunaRayToo]

Nice! Solid upgrade!

[@cypriotkingyt2161]

Welldone Daniel flow a top man congratulations to all at Asheville

[@Acrowat40]

Awesome - love the engineering videos

[@Siberianhuskykai]

Good watch and we’ll put together and we’ll done flo made it look easy 💪👍

[@heavyhaulage1]

I’ve been waiting so long for this video. Awesome 💪🏻

[@jon7218]

Really good video it was good to see the lh60 in action

[@georgeian405]

That is a monster of a machine 💪

[@jxrdnz]

Your production quality has improved tremendously this past two years

[@jonm9750]

Love these videos! Much love from Seattle

[@karabobante5791]

very impressed Daniel and team keep up the good work,,

[@YepYepYepYepYep]

Love the mid week vids 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽

What we've all been waiting for!

4 am and Iam watching Ashville , wonderful show incredible Machine

[@liamdavies3597]

Finally, a long awaited train montage

[@johnhewit3099]

Great machine and investment Daniel. Love the video as always.

[@kristiangoransson6104]

Stick a GoPro on Flos cap, would be interesting to see his perspective when unloading the train

[@markmcpherson7956]

Weird as I was only looking today to see if I had missed this 1. Brill videos as usual

[@andrewle18]

FINALLY! it had to be said 18 months is far too long when you submitted the plans specs to the manufacture for a solution.

[@matdowling2627]

Great video guys 👍

[@leebarber5528]

Been waiting for this one 🔥🔥🔥

[@dimosk7389]

the content of your video is already amazing. i dont think you need to create all this artificial "drama" every 2 minutes. it makes it cheesy, and reminds me of all these documentaries where everything goes wrong at the exact day the film crew is doing the filming "will the bucket clear the first wagons?" well, yeah, its obvious from the video that it will

[@warrenjeapes3423]

Yet again the motivation of Daniel gets it done😁 well done👍 SHALOM 🔥

[@0145jjd]

Amazing educational video as always

[@chrisclose7793]

looks amazing the lh60 with its new boom

[@ryanwild8944]

Love a mid week ashville helps me get through the grind

[@walkerctr27]

Excellent job this very exciting 👏

[@declanconway2903]

Great video again Daniel.

[@hwpestcontrol456]

So impressive!

[@jamalrajput1]

Great contant Absolutely loved it 🖤

[@tommybowler1700]

Been waiting for this video for a while, awesome 🙂

[@gordon1966]

well done all , love a train montage top job

[@DanielWoolley]

Flo the lh60 is lifting off the ground when empty, but when full of material at full stretch it doesn't!?!?!?! You've got a magic machine there my friend

[@myronsmith2114]

If it becomes a issue they could add counterbalance weights

[@kieranosullivan02]

It's not exactly full stretch reaching the 2nd line now, has to be close to lifting tho if it did lift at full reach empty

[@neilfarren1224]

Love the new arm

[@rowland5951]

0.42 never say never now Daniel is installing a BDU.

[@AHomelessDorito]

Been so long since a train montage!!
