Good boots you could . Was routine for blast furnace workers to add a piece of tire to the bottom of work boots so they could work in hot runners every day . Just have to avoid breaking thru into molten steel
With whelled loaders they add big hooks at the rear to grab and pull them away if they break down in the middle of the hot slag. With tracked bulldozers, no idea
You dont need air conditioning. The entire American industrial revolution happened without air conditioning. These are nice to have luxuries, not necessities. A fan is more than good enough.
@@smh9902 you need air conditioning. We live in a first world country. I’ve run a few older tractors with enclosed cabs and no a/c in f the engine is putting heat into the cab through the firewall, it could kill someone with a heat stroke very quickly

Probably not. The last report concerning the Beitai Steel Works was from Nov. 2012 which said the old blast furnace has been shut down so only 3 steam locos were working on general shuting duties with 2 more on stand-by. All steam was to be replaced by March 2013 with only diesels working around the new furnace and rolling plant.
Not really. Try "Murican mini-mill, where some of the WTC steel was melted down and cast into part of the prow of the USS New York. FWIW. Thanks for playing.
Yeah? How'd that worthless, lazy drunken "can't fire me" Union labor work out for General Motors? Oh right, it made them a worthless laughingstock and ruined the image of American cars forever.
Equipment is beyond shot. The amount of bushing play in that dozer is staggering
Excuse my ignorance, what is bushing play? thanks
@@Anygodwilldo basically the joints where the machinery moves is really worn away
@@declancampbell1277 Not what you want in a lake of molten steel
i love how the country worried about the toxic smog but they are rippin steam engines from the 1900s 😂
So this is where chinesium starts out, amazing! 🤓
Skookum AF
I love the steam engines!!! So cool to see working steam engines
Thomas the tank engine moved to china
What if your bulldozer just stopped? You cannot get out and just walk away from the middle of the hot slag field...

It's quite amazing to see the bulldozers toiling away like that. That would have been a long line of men with shovels in the past.
I wonder how many times they've dumped a slag pot right on top of a dozer operator.
The bulldozer in the foreground is missing a track pad :)
I would not want to break down pushing that hot stuff. Those Operators have a lot of guts. Pretty fearless.
Today, on "No OSHA Compliance"
Red hot? No, but hot enough. And somehow I doubt those operator cabs have any air conditioning!

Primitive working conditions. Thank you all the workers.
Fun fact: the engine is a 1998 model.
Engine? If you mean the steam locomotives, they were built in the 1980s.

And the guy watching rocks go by
I think he was dead. lol
His job was to kick the too-big ones off the belt.
Yes. But as the weather was about - 10 C, it was quite welcome!
+100 social credit! Nothing happened in China in 1988
@@dmlarry reddit moment
2011, still using steam engines.
China still using them in 2021. But no longer at Beitai.
Hot Chinese -girls- -grills- Bulldozers in your area
OSHA’s worst nightmare!!!
some areas costs more money to change equipment than to use current equipment
That little crane at 6:00 is just too funny!
It was there for most of the video, at 3:00 you can see they use it to drop a weight to break the solid crust on the molten slag before pouring it
Awesome footage
At 2:35, it looks surreal.
love the steam train :)
I did same job for 7 years.we just jused cat980gh.
At :40 could you feel the heat?
They still use steam engines?
In the coal mines. Easy fuel source
u buy now , you buy now and get out. ( angry Asian lady voice )
i don't know why i was expecting porn lol
All the work and pollution, just to churn out low quality metal in chinese standards. Such a waste.
:P
North Korea same
this is where all the wtc tower evidence went to be so quickly and efficiently 'recycled.'
