This is Part One of a two-DVD set in which Steven Vale shows examples of wheeled loaders working in surface mines and quarries in Europe and the UK. He focuses in particular on the larger, more impressive models.In this DVD he deals with machines from Caterpillar, Liebherr and Volvo.
The stunning Carrara marble quarries in the Italian Apuan Alps are home to a number of machines frequently called on to move their own weight in marble. One example at Guilio Vanelli Marmo's mountain-top quarry is Liebherr's largest offering - the 30-tonne L 586. Not far away at an equally dizzy height Volvo's largest wheeled loader, the 50-tonne L350F struggles to lift a huge block of marble. Carrara is also home to the recently-launched ZW550, which marks Hitachi's return to the 50-tonne market. There is also footage of Liebherr R 974 and Hitachi EX870 excavators struggling to position mind-bogglingly heavy marble blocks. In England, Volvo's flagship wheeled loader and a Cat 988H provide the muscle at Singleton Birch's Melton Ross chalk quarry, in North Lincolnshire. Further south, the only pair of 100-tonne Komatsu WA900s in Britain work side by side at Hanson Cement's Ketton limestone quarry. Steven then takes us to France to see an even heavier 130-tonne Caterpillar 993K at the largest limestone quarry in France. Across the border the Belgian Carrieres d'Antoing limestone quarry is home to a 100-tonne Cat 992G and a pair of huge Catterpillar 200-tonne 994s.
The oldest was the very first 994 to come to Europe in 1993. The programme concludes with a visit to the Norwegian Titania ilmenite mine to see the world's largest mechanically-driven wheeled loader - the Komatsu WA1200, which tips the scales at 225 tonnes. Filling Cat 789 trucks with 40 to 45 tonnes at a time, this mountain mover dwarfs the mine's Letourneau L-1100. This WA1200 works alongside a 374-tonne Terex O&K RH 170 hydraulic excavator.
