Michelle's Things

Monday, July 11, 2005

To give you an idea, this isn't meant to happen. Above me is the rom bin and the loader operator keeps it filled so I can run the ore through the crusher, (ore is usually in huge rock size quantities, not shown here as they've emptied the bin to help retrieve the loader) the primary crusher snaps the the large boulders down to more sizeable rocks anyway I could go on for ages. This happened at a mine site a friend of mine is working at, the driver was in the cabin when it happened, he is ok, but a little shaken. There is actually a heap of photos that go with this, to show how they pulled it out again, but I don't want to bore the pants off you all, I think you get the picture. I never drove a loader that large, but have operated smaller ones on the ground to clean up. It is awesome feeling, you feel like a king up there.
