Some 70 ton Side Dumps working with 773 haulers Richardson hwy, Alaska
Have lots of pictures just can't attach, Help needed!
I will give it a bump hoping you get some help. Sounds great.
Read this, cause I want to see those pics too.
1.5 million yds of shot rock, using 70 ton Side Dumps, and some 740 artics, 773 Cat Haulers, 2 D10Rs, 385 Excavator, 988G, 2 ea D8Ts, 16G 2 683 Cat Rollers w/ elliot grids
I like those split tub side dumps. I have never seen them before, but I bet they are more stable dumping, with only half at a time hanging over the side. I bet they tip over less than the normal ones. Downside is the lightweight looks to be a bit more, so they can haul less, at least in places where weight matters.
Hauled a million yds never had 1 even close tip over, they are strictly off road trucks 10' wide
More Alaska Rock Pictures More Rock Picts
Alaska Rock Job More pictures, proably getting tired of these.
not tired of the pics What is the ultimate goal of this job?
10 miles of Major upgrade of main road from Valdez to Fairbanks, Got 98% of Rock moved still have to put Crushed down and Pave next season, shut project down middle of Oct, will start back up 1st of May
Do the side dumps keep moving while dumping?
Not with the Shot Rock, but we hauled 50,000 ton of 3 inch minus and yeilded it out for the Blade and they dumped on the fly at a real slow pace, the better drivers would even up the windrows and skips, worked pretty well, Not as good as Bellys for yielding, but bellys were a couple of hundred miles away, @ a couple grand for each truck to mobe in, will use all Bellys for the crushed and asphalt next season.
cool pics. neat to see the work your doing.
More Alaska Rock Pictures I'll go in to the Mud Pictures next, either Mud or Rock
