200 years of crushing it: Mammoet completes unique move of rock crusher in California
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- Mammoet has successfully transported a 690 metric ton granite rock crusher and primary conveyor inside the A.R. Wilson Quarry mining site in Aromas, California. Both pieces of equipment needed to be relocated from the top of the quarry to the new location further down in the mine.
Mine owner Graniterock had previously attempted to drive the rock crusher downhill themselves; however, the crusher experienced a loss of braking power and the operation could not be completed safely. Mammoet was contracted because of their previous experience in mining equipment transport, and because of their proposed solution to move the crusher in one piece on SPMTs, whereas other proposals received included dismantling the rock crusher before transport.
Mammoet’s solution meant the machine could remain active until just hours before the move, which significantly reduced downtime of this vital piece of mining equipment and avoided any unnecessary wear and tear on the machine. The rock crusher is one of only two rubberized crushers in the world (it has rubber wheels and is drivable), and is the only crusher currently in use. The quarry has been in operation since 1900, and by relocating the crusher, another 100 years of operation is expected.

I spent many years working as a hydraulics tech, specialized in high pressure closed loop systems. Built machinary for the offshore oil&gas industry. Just wanted to say Mammoet is one hell of a company. Nothing you guys can't do......so glad you put thrse videos out for the rest of us to see.
Mammoet's success is very clear, the engineers drive this company. The bidding process goes through the engineers to first decide how the job is to be done, then to the money men who figure out the cost.
The video is cool, but the editing is a bit too slick and fast paced. I think your main audience is mostly gear heads. So if you can hold a little longer on the action so we can watch and think. Thanks for taking us along!
Yep.... One can't catch up with the pace 😋
Thanks for the feedback, Michael!
When I started watching, my first thought was "why didn't they break it down into more manageable chunks?" ... and then the realization hit that they did! Wow.
I think the format was fun, what you guys do is interesting and I feel like you'll end up in the youtube algorithm soon enough with high production value, in the current climate.
Thank you Pablo!
Longer videos would be good....massive projects in 3:00 minutes don't do justice to the accomplishments and scale of Mammoet. But, short is better than nothing.
This is not an action movie. Changing cameras that zoom in and out every 2 seconds is really difficult to watch.
Thanks for your feedback
I like the new style generally but maybe hold down the pace of the editing a little? It felt a bit frantic in places.
thanks for your feedback Jim
Maybe more like a documentary or training video....rather then a sales video.. ;)
That is some serious moving company and all in a quarry moving a rock crusher...!
Awesome video love the longer format!!
We are glad you enjoyed it!
A great movie! Patrick, great lector :-)
I am waiting for more such productions!
Thank you for your support! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great to see these younger guys out there making it happen! Great video with the coolest toys.
Thanks Danny
It promises to be an interesting movie. I can not wait for the premiere!
I'm always impressed with the stuff this company pulls off, like moving the new radiation containment building over the damaged reactor #4 at Chernobyl.
What a great video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job!
Wherever you put Dennis in charge you will get amazing results! What an amazing old guy i got to meet working in Punta Catalina project!
Dennis and the rest of the team did a great job. They make us proud #madeformammoet
good job 👍🏽
Sin duda...una increíble maniobra...saludos desde México.
A job well done..👍🏻👍🏻
by the time my eyes focused on the picture it changed. couldn't watch it. i love these big moves though. wish I could watch them
Thanks for your feedback
Yes it does look. Good ,
Well Done Chiefs Very Interested Incredible Awesome Unbelievable
Caterpillar is huge but seems smaller than Mammoet. They are the real world Transformers. ❤️❤️
Mammoet is playing a whole different ballgame. Caterpillar makes great machines for (de)construction and mining, etc. Mammoet specializes in moving the truly enormous and monsterously heavy objects of our world. The name is Dutch for mammoth :)
These remote controlled units have changed heavy lifting and moving big time..
We agree! Great technology!
@@MammoetHeavyLifting they have made your job so much easier thank you for replying to my comment wasn't expecting a reply thanks keep up the good work...
gooood job
Awesome
Love the new format told by the team the men who love there job . Thank you
thanks Craig
'Im Fred Flinstone and I approve this message.'
Awesome.... I will call you when I move my time...😁😁
Impresionante trabajo,esas ruedas que usan para mover los gigantescos y pesados odjetos que transportan, por lo visto no tienen límite,pueden mover desde barcos hasta maquinaria enorme,es asombroso 😱

Crushing, 200 years, Mammoet. Coalmine?
What was the approximate price tag on this project?
What powers the creeper? Diesel, electric?
The editing is just horrific. And the shooting. I don’t understand what happened in this video. The old videos were better....
Thanks for your feedback
Is there anything Mammoet can't lift?
Was the main crusher not able to move on it’s own?
Maybe not down an incline like that? Just a guess.
Says it lost brakes in the description. Cheaper to hire Mammoet than to fix it I guess.
Looks like a little bit of overkill for the conveyor trusses too. They really don't weigh that much.

My guess is that because they had already gone to the time and expense of moving the SPMTs to the location it was easier and quicker to simply use them
3:39 Channel locks are not a wrench lol.
Is this Berard Trans??
It appears that the crusher was capable of moving itself why did your company have to do it? Also the video was over edited I am interested in the process I need more!
Hello- The Mine owner had attempted to drive the rock crusher downhill themselves; however, the crusher experienced a loss of braking power and the operation could not be completed safely. Moving it using this method also decreased downtime.
Thanks for watching!
The rock crusher has wheels so why wasn’t it driven or towed to the new location?
Good Question. The mine owner had previously attempted to drive the rock crusher downhill however, the crusher experienced a loss of braking power and the operation could not be completed safely.
perfect, thanks for sharing. not like being in the process but close enough, great video despite what some are whining... have ya'll every moved a mountain? very curious...excellent work.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your feedback M.A.C.
Tell your editor to not screw with the color.. also less crack..
Why does the crusher have wheels?
Hi Vance, the crusher is able to be driven on its own. The mine owner had previously attempted to drive the rock crusher downhill themselves, but it experienced a loss of braking power and the operation could not be completed safely.
@@MammoetHeavyLifting Thanks so much for the extra info
The anchor man did not present a particularly serious approach.
U Proved Again
Haven't these self powered trailers been around 30+ years, so your just using what's on the market.
Your a bit late but well done.
Kinda like the 3/5 min recaps
Thank you for your feedback!
It’s always funny to see that Americans always wear sunglasses even when it rains. 😂 But why do they use the relatively heavy SPMTs to move a conveyor belt of a few tons? I still do understand that for the engine room but the rest of it is beyond me. However, nice yob.👍👍
Haha taki kraj bogaty w Polsce te maszyny same się przemieszczają w kopalni odkrywkowej .
High energy and clean hands... Never sits OR sets well with the guys actually doing it... Meaning, The job... So... Keep your high enthusiasm.. stay out of the bathhouse.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 BUTT definitely a nice A complete job 🤙🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍
Johnny Davis Haha my colleague mentioned the same thing. The sound bites were taken every morning So i started the day clean but believe me, i was filthy by the end of everyday. I love getting my hands on the work and Cherish every moment away from my desk.

Sorry, but stopped watching after a minute or 2 with this color style in the edit.
😎👌
I have to confess I am patriotic ....
guilty...lol ( - :
I am so very proud of Mammoet which roots lay in the Netherlands
Like mine
.
Jerky editing is horrible. So hard to watch.
