What NOT to do with Heavy equipment. Warning signs & mistakes in a 60 ton rock truck #1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июл 2018
- My wife is a nurse- she has never ran a 60 ton rock truck. So I put her in the seat of a haul truck & teach her how to run one. Her mistakes are common for any noob. In this 8 part series I will be teaching her how to run this rock truck, a $1,000,000 Million dollar Payloader, operate a skid steer, how to compact soil and what that means and show her a tilt rotator. This is a Beginners guide to Running heavy equipment starting with a 60 ton rock truck.

About 35 years ago, when I was an oilfield mechanic, I was drafted to operate an articulating earth mover when the operator quit while I was on location. Ended up being the dirt crew's resident mechanic/operator for nearly a month before we got back home.
We were building a pad for a oil drilling rig on a hill which required digging out the side of the hill for a mud pond and using the dirt to create a dam as part of the pond.
I was dumping dirt on the top of the dam when the earth mover started sliding down the side of the dam and tipping (about 20 feet high at that point). I knew the articulating joint could make a 90+ degree movement so I turned the steering will hard to the right to stop it from tipping but it kept sliding so I stomped the fuel pedal to get the cab ahead of the back end and drove down the side of the hill until I got to the road and drove back up to the dam. By that time the grader operator had flattened out the top of the dam so it was safer to drive on.
A regular truck would have just slid until it rolled before I could have gotten it turned. I love articulating equipment.
Thats scary as all get out

Next time I drive a 60 ton truck this will be a very valuable video.
Next up is payloaders, then skid steers, compaction and tiltrotators
i didnt thought id have to drive one one day but here i am an open pit driller and blaster without any holes to drill or blast and im asked to haul muck in one of these 😂
Just landed a job driving rock truck great video. I've never drove one but I am now 🥳
Hey my wife is a L&D nurse too, at a major hospital in Dallas Tx. Nurses Rock!
Thanks Stanley for this awesome video! I'm like your wife - a nurse, and and all I've done is see these amazing machines in action. Watching these videos I can share her experience! I really enjoy your enthusiasm, and the love and admiration you have for these beautiful machines. God Bless!
Thank you Lauren for the great comments!
thank you for all your videos bud! every one is so interesting and great to see you explain things that most would NEVER disclose to customers or the public i salute you sir!
Thanks Robert!
This is what ill be driving in the apocalypse. I can load my army tank right in the back :)
It could handle it.
I seriously doubt you'd get an *M1 ABRAMS MBT* in the box...
Its been done, google "Artillerisystem 08"
When I worked for Volvo by the way I worked for Volvo for 40 years as a field service guy working from home looking after trucks and wheel loaders in Gypsum Quarries I had the first fleet of A35 trucks in the world with Volvo looking after them I did a lot of R&D work so what you see today is thanks to me
I woke up this morning with this video on my TV and your wife handled everything like a boss bro well she is the boss LOL stop all three or four of these videos you put together we're awesome man big thumbs up thanks a ton I will see you soon👊👊👍👍🤙🤙🤙
was on contruction sites now for 3 weeks as an internship and was able to ride a skidsteer, a normal Takeuchi 8 ton ex and a dumper. Was really fun.
Thats pretty cool flo richi
Thankyou, loved this from the newbie perspective. Good job.
Tell Nicky thank you for volunteering. Great videos. Hope she had fun.
I will love this series and I can't wait.
Thanks Evan!
This is the second video I've seen on your channel.
Thank you for posting this video; I've always been curious about how these kinds of vehicles operate. (I've wanted to operate some of them, myself, back in the day.)
Great video!
Thank you!
I run these everyday during the Minnesota construction season. Good video
I have been operating heavy equipment for 30 years love Volvo equipment
They make good equipment- and Im glad they are willing to do this series.
Go wife! Excellently engineered vehicle.
Its big but built to be easy to handle
Thank you for these videos. Very helpful
Love heavy duty equipment. I'm sure you and your wife had a wonderful time driving a big Volvo around on the training course.
It was great!
A contractor's vacation, let's go check out some equipment hun..😀
Keep up the videos they give a lot of help
Thanks for the feedback- Glad they help!
I'm going to enjoy this series!
Thanks Alex- next up is Payloaders
Bruder toys has a 1/16 scale model of this truck coming out later this year, and yours is actually the first video where I’ve actually gotten to hear what the truck sounds like. When the model comes out or soon after, i’m going to be doing a full unboxing and test drive of the vehicle, end it includes loading, and unloading. This model is so big that they had to design a completely new tire for it.
Thats wild!
Stan, I just happen to see your short video on the kinetic recovery rope. You asked if anyone had heard of them. Well I just came across a guys channel who recovers vehicles and such and does use those straps. Check him out on his channel. Its Casey Ladelle. He actually has a Jeep Cherokee with tracks instead of tires that he uses to recover people stuck in the snow. I live in Florida so watching you guys plow snow and him recovery vehicles stuck in snow are both pretty good channels to watch while I am pretty much laid up in bed due to a diabetic wound on the bottom of my foot and I am not suppose to put any weight on my foot period. I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work and stay warm and dry.
Shout out to your wife for gettin in the vid an helpin out
Thanks Ron!
Keep living the American dream brother love your videos
Thanks Joey!
I drive an A30F Volvo Rock truck and it's an amazing machine. And the sister truck we have, rolled just the other day.
Did it get damaged?
Stan you have the best wife ever I don't know too many women that would actually let them be talked into driving something of that size I can't wait to see that video
Phillip Bonner you have just found the wrong women lol
Thanks Phillip!
13:24 "Wouldn't flip a million dollar truck over on purpose"
Apparently this guy has never met a miner.
I drive one on a strip mine here in wv I can say there tricky at first especially backing one up in the dark far as driving them goes it’s a blast I enjoy it
“not gonna advertise for volvo”... first thing he shows how easy the access is and how much power it makes... lmao
I operate a John Deere, it has same safety feature as this Volvo. Rock trucks are awesome to operate and easy too.
excellent video as usual 👍🚜👍, bought time for a aquarium Update 🐟🐠🐡
Thats coming up!
beautiful machine. I'd love to drive something like that before I die.
Thank you Stan!
Thanks for watching!
Dude thanks for the tips and tricks but my lord buddy you’re wife is absolutely stunning…
Lucky man!
Perfect choice!
Thanks!
I work in the mining industry and I love the articulated trucks I have driven A40E/A40G and a cat 745C. The truck can do about anything you want to do. They have one down off yes the bed can fall over , but it works both ways as in the cab can fall over too or go completely on it’s head. This happens when wet or heavily packed material get stuck in the bed while dumping. To me this happens more with beds with bed warmers that is what the pipe is in the middle of the truck but that is the only problem I have with the trucks
I didn't think that it works 2 ways. Thanks for pointing that out
I move drilling rigs in northern canada and we have 6 or so Volvo 120 loaders with floater tires on them for our mucky Canadian northern muskeg north west canada in northern Alberta and BC. Other than the JCB equivalent we had at the last 2 companies I've loved the Volvos.
awesome videos!
Thanks!
This channel is 10x better than Brass Monkey. Gold to Stan and his crew.
Thanks Peter!
OHHHHH STAN!!! Your wife is me in the company I work for. I have never had equipment training, and one day my boss sat me down in a compact wheel loader and showed me how to run it, and the smile on my face was HUGE!!! But I can sympathize with your wife, it is both scary and exhilarating, to run equipment of ANY size. And I think your wife did a great job!!! And I act the same way stan when I see a piece of equipment up close like that, just a awesome feeling!!!
Thanks Alex- I remember that feeling the first time I drove one. Exhilarating!
Worked at a coal mine that leased a whole hollow that had a one lane county road (paved mostly) had roads so steep that every time it rained it required a rubber tire loader to push the haul trucks (18 wheelers) up the mountain. The mining complex had 3 different undergound mines and a mountain top removal section of the strip mine and 2 wash plants. Everyone was required to have CB radio, flags and strobes as soon as they entered past the guard shack, because all the miners had to use the haul roads to access their respective underground mine entries. It was never fun to find out your CB wasn't working because of a blown fuse and run up on a "lizard Truck" like the one in the video or a D73 with it coming down the mountain in a blind curve on a one lane road like the same width shown in the video.
Holy crap -Thats scary
Thanks for the vid
Thanks for watching!
I love you videos keep on the good work and I'm from Canada Hamilton Ontario
Thanks Jeff!
You're welcome and by the way I have autism your videos help me out a lot
Great video! To the “Top Crane” comment, it is just a cute little Articulated Dum Truck. Unfortunately in the mines here in Australia, as we continue to export our big brown land there is no longer a need for Drivers. The open cut mines are becoming automated and Driverless! Female Drivers were the norm as they are generally naturally more empathetic on the Assets. We enjoy your clips Stan! 👍. Baz.
Thanks Baz!
What's funny is these trucks actually look quite small when you're driving close to them and looking down on them in a 300 ton haul truck. Not to mention the 18 wheelers. They look like little hot wheels toys from the cab of a giant 1 million pound loaded haul truck. It's crazy how perception throws everything off.😂
9:00 you can't fix stupid but you can prepare for it, nice features.
You get to play with the funnest toys!! :)
Yeah- I try to use that to help others.
Bring it on, I love when Volvo do demonstrations on there machinery.
Thanks Patrick!
When your wife said it's huge I thought you was gonna say some kind of dirty remark lol.
that's why I like Volvo, they want to do things RIGHT, they want people to know how to operate it and want them to be safe, its really the sign of a very solid company
Drivers engaging the diff locks while the wheels are spinning drives me nuts. It's the awful ratcheting noise until the rotation slows enough for the locks to engage, then the bang as they do. Lord knows how much stress they are putting on to the transmission / drive line components.
Many of the drivers don't know how or when to use the exhaust brake, transmission retarder, or foot / service brakes. On descent they just use the footbrake and not the pedal on the left. Brake pads (and they are pads on Volvo, not shoes, as they have disc brakes) don't come cheap.
The first ADTs I drove were the first A series from Volvo the A20 & A25. They had a multi stage single tipping ram, that came down under gravity. Then CAT D250s.
I love your videos on RUclips.
As for the Polish references. Great stuff, my partner is Polish.
We also have Polish lads on our construction sites, bloody hard workers.
All the best from the UK.
Thanks Neil! All the best back at ya from a Pollock in the states!
Yes!!!! This is perfect
Cool thanks StangDGB
I was hoping we could see a demonstration of this technology in a actual rollover. Next time convince them to gently tip it over
Mike Cowan get them to roll the cab too it works both ways I know from experience that is the A Keeley’s heel of a articulating truck
venounchannel yea it would be a great show of durability. Like my dads said believe nothing you hear and half of what you see. Any1 can say their equipment does it but can it really do it. They dont got the confidence. Great video stan made tho
I don't think you will be gently tipping a 60 ton truck.
beastm0de7 theres always a first. Why not attempt to lol
I actually tried to get them to let me do it. Maybe if they ever do as a test- I can be there
Where did my half an hour just go? It's the end of the video 23 minutes later? ...... Great video, kept me full engulfed and luckily I didn't have to be anywhere or I would be late. Looking forward to part 2.
Please don't use url shortners in the description, it hides where the link goes and that has been abused too many times. Plus that link shortner will eventual go dead and your video will still be receiving views with no clue where to go to.
Awesome!
My favorite machine
Great video. I've been a trucker for 20 years and I wouldn't buy any other tractor than a Volvo
Thats the test of time
Simply badass
We do have Volvo repair Igloos up here in Canada brother.
I'd like to see a newbie stacking with that and see if the tilt warning works
A 4 stick backhoe with wore out pins and bushings is funny to put beginners on.
If they can learn on that then they can handle a new one
Hell I took right to stick controls on our 580E and our K we had when I was like 9. I can't use joysticks on a backhoe, tried one when cat first cane out with em. But i never liked cat backhoes anyway, and never had any reason to really try to get one down. Ran a 2800 Link Belt the next year or so and a D8 and as with everything else it was like I'd been doing it since birth. To this day that backhoe is the only piece of equipment that I couldn't just hop in first try and take off.
They are meant to roll over . Done it 3 times. Seen you at stihl. VA Beach!
Volvo rock trucks are the most popular all terrain rock trucks going.
Even die hard Cat equipment excavation companies use them around where I live.
Nice- I didn't know that
That's a cute little truck. 😉
“To The Top Crane” probably the only guy that can say that about a 60 ton rock truck!
Carlos Torres, haha! I take it you've been to my channel?
Bet it has a giant DPF that burns more fuel than a fleet of peterbilts.
I should come out your way and shoot video on that truck of yours
Ive seen your truck- its a beast! That would be interesting but Im not sure when/if I will make it your way anytime soon.
i was on a volvo 860 when they first came to britain in the 70s no suspension then they were 6x4
My company in Alaska sold the first two A60s in North America. Those are some sweet machines.
akshooter271 wouldn’t be rango inc would it? We have 5 60s with serial numbers 1,2,3,4, and 5 lol
Travis McMillan no, the first two in north America went to a gold mine in Alaska
The 60 ton unit is so smooth
My Father-in-Law ran heavy equipment, towards the end mostly Scrappers, but with the various companies he went to through the union shop he would talk about foremen that took a dislike to someone or you managed to be on his s*it list for some reason (like ripping up a thousand feet of cable or breaking a pipe) you got put on the Rock Truck (mostly Cats), apparently no one liked using the Rock Trucks and was used as a punishment job.
Thats easy work though
Yeah, that was my argument (understand that I've never been in any earth moving vehicle), his reply was that in most companies the rock trucks were usually the very last piece of equipment to be replaced, heavily used and usually worn out that you needed to stand on the brake to work, many would just use the torque converter to stay put on an incline causing it heat up and barely work, and the steering was often so clunky that you needed Schwarzenegger arms to turn or stay straight.
I used to build those from the ground up for VOLVOCE in Shippensburg, PA.
Nice!
@@Dirtmonkey Run cat...740... 730...and Volvo almost daily.... this is only half the experience. You think with these tires they would do great in mud right? NOPE. Drive one in a wet muddy setting.... Whole different experience.
No, you didn't, the haulers are not and have never been built in Ship.
We got the coolest underground rocks trucks. They run on 1000 volt eletric trolley line. They hold like 60 tons and will go 21 kph up ramp. They are made by abb and called kurina trucks.
That does sound really cool.
very good vid have run a lot of orts new cats jd maxey not a volvo after yrs rollover does happen to the best make sure u cominacate with operaters
spot on advice Mike
Thanks Stan, great stuff, once again! Where in PA is this facility?
Shippensburg
@@Dirtmonkey ygk
Great video Stan! Love your channel #notificationsquad
Thanks!
I love the rock truck and how user friendly it is, one question I have is what happens if there’s a hydraulic issue that won’t allow the mechanic access to the hydraulic unit to fix it?
Thats a great question for the Volvo techs.
once your loaded and backing out give the bucket a lil flick up, less spilage
I love operating the CAT 745's better than the A60 but i will say as far as comfort the Volvo is definitely the Cadillac of haul trucks
Expert: everything is easy in this.
Bell B4S3 articulated dump truck
: hold my hydraulic oil
U operator this exact one all day in a mine and that safety alarm for the bed. Is annoying and goes off even if I’m on a 2% grade I dump with that alarm on all time I have choice. They are nice trucks but ever bump feels like I been in a small accident. Very easy to tip
Welcome to Pennsylvania!!! That’s in Chambersburg right?? If so that’s an hour from me!!
Yep- Thats where it was
Shippensburg PA just up the road from Chambersburg,
I really wanna drive one. Damn do I ever wish I had gotten into this stuff when I was younger.
its never to late. Operators are in short demand!
I wonder how different it is to get into this stuff in Canada. We have a lot of different BS to claw through. Thanks for the kind words.
Hey I know this is an old comment, but I'm a 30 year old woman and just traded my desk job to operate equipment! I'll be on a rock truck next week! Never too late to try
@@spekledworf rock on
Stanley where you like me where you played with tonka toys when you where young? Haha
Yeah- But I still do
I can't find the part 2 of this and I would really like to see it
Its just out now. Did you see it?
only thing that sucks on vovlo is the ride along seat lol oh and it also breaks down when its very humid outside
Stan, us up in Canada do have repair facilities lol. Even if they are in giant igloos
LOL
Damn Stan, welcome to Pennsyltucky
You were in pa I would’ve totally come down
I was there for 3 days shooting videos
I know which vehicle I need to commute* into DC now. Lol.
LOL
Next the wife takes over the channel. Machines are addicting.
That would be cool!
Love your vids keep up the good work and can you do an excavator video
Will try to Austin.
Isn't this is quite a lot larger equipment than the average landscaping contractor would use.?
Maybe once in awhile they'd use a full size excavator, dump truck or loader. But I thought most of them use mostly compact equipment.
(Like a small to midsized excavator, skid steer and a 1-ton dump truck).
I'm NOT hating or complaining, (I'm just guessing) that the XL and XXL equipment is probably used by only 1%-2% or less.
It is called a ”dumper” in sweden, where the rock truck is from
It's a North American thing. They are also called wiggle wagons. The rigid ones are also called rock trucks but mostly haul trucks
Can someone please answer this question for me?? due to the nature of these machines you would think that torque numbers would be the important numbers but we always hear about their horsepower rating. which by the way, always seems to be a small number, like under 200.. my Honda Civic has around that much horsepower haha.. is it possible they're referring to the power of the hydraulic pumps maybe and not the actual engine? Can somebody sort this out for me please thank you..
"up in canada nowhere near a repair shop"...... I'm in northern ontario and have a toromont cat, john deer, komatsu and hitatchi dealership within a 10 minute drive. lol
Why not a Steringnob in Volvo? Ill prefer Cat 730c when i drive in the Aitik mine upnorth i Sweden:)
Nice truck. What is the biggest rock truck Volvo makes
Brandon Skomars the A60 is the biggest they make.
The A60 is the biggest articulated truck they make. But they also just announced earlier this year that they going to start making rigid dump truck. 2 of those are bigger 72 ton and 100 ton.
Man- I want in one of those.
Did you see letsdig18 at the Volvo show?
They say behind each great man is a woman, shaking her head. Haha cool video
This is very true of mine
Too bad there weren't some junk cars to crush...........The guy in the loader keeping the load over the center of the dump bed made it look easy.
Thats Chris- the instructor for the next video which is on payloaders.
They are made to be tipped over flipped right side up and go right back to work.
"Everything is EASY to get too!"....
