Cool stuff. I'm lucky enough to have spent a lot of time working with the mine folks on the Iron Range in northern Minnesota. The equipment is daunting and the support facillities in the area have nothing but monster sized handling equipment. Did some Plasma Welding consulting at Joy Global in Milwaukee too. Huge mine equipment manufacturer. Love that big stuff.

That plant is about 5 miles from me. Ironically, we're also working on it's replacement.

Pictures and videos like these bring back fond memories of Tonka trucks and loaders working the quarries I build in my sand box decades ago.

Mining equipment can be way huge. This scooping machine accidentally scooped up a D8R cat and they needed to use a crane to lift it out. Notice how small the cat is compared to the other machine.

Oh yes the memories of solo in my sandbox under the deck of my parent's house. Army men, matchbox cars, firecrackers along with my Tonka trucks. :cloud9:

Yeah equipment and soldier scale way off but it worked! :laughing:

If someone hasn't seen this before: the D8R is behind the word 'crash' in the video title.
