In a quarry today and spotted some old retired machines...

 

Just had to take a couple of pics...

I watched a vid of big dumper trucks, Euclid 201LD or something..

 

Aneehoo.. Exhaust is routed through the steel ribs of the tipper bucket >> no freezing of loads in extra low temps!!

Nice selection of small and medium size Aveling Barfords there. The bigger ones are the RD030, we had the next model up, the RD040. Had the pleasure* of having to climb onto the top of a few to see what the daft bastards had actually got in the back of them when they managed to trip the detectors on our weighbridges.

That's some clever thinking!

Lots of pr0n here of the weird electric assist mining trucks that used to be fashionable

Wow, I knew most of the bigger dumpers had electric drive (with diesel engines & generators) but not that they used overhead supplies as well.

Aye, but no substitute for a smart Clippie, swinging the pickups at the terminus
