Thanks @AaronWitt, I get to operate that digger 65 from the video 7 days a fortnight. What a machine it is. The biggest and best I've ever worked. Great to be able to show my kids the actual machine I operate. Cheers
Hey Aaron, it would be cool if you could dedicate a video properly explaining double benching, single benching and top loading. A lot of people probably don't understand. For diggers in Australia, these are the only three methods used for digging dirt.
I'll second this comment. I am sitting here trying to work out just how that 9800 will work it's way from right to left along the bench when it keeps on digging out in front of itself? If I am puzzled then I am pretty sure that there are plenty of other viewers who are in the same position. 😊 We had a big excavator for the bulk earthworks of our two storey underground car park at work, it could fill a tipper and dog trailer in three passes each (from memory) but the 9800 would make it look like a toy.

As you're diggin in front of you and loading out, you leave enough material in front to continue the bench or road the machines is sitting on, reach everything you can without having to load to much out 90⁰ of swing until you've reached the end of cut, then go back loading out the bench or road you've built to sit on until the beginning of your cut, then repeat. Of course there are instances that make you operate out of maximum efficiency parameters, but like anything, adapt and overcome with what you've got to work with
Sure would! I've worked in several surface copper mines in Arizona and they load ore almost exclusively with electric rope shovels (plus a couple of 994 loaders). The Australian preference for giant hydraulic excavators is interesting - I guess they've got more flexibility in not needing to manage cable routing, pole bridges, and in-pit power lines and switchgear. I've only worked at one mine that employed top loading; it was in horrible alluvial ground and nearly lost an excavator when the bench collapsed under it. MSHA was involved and it was a bad situation all around.
My dad was a machinist and would often go out “to site” and take us along to a mining operation. The excavators, articulated trucks and crushing units were so amazing to see. I even got to ride in a Bell. The machinery was not of this size but when you’re 8 it’s ENORMOUS. I even got to see an open mine face get blown.
I glad you pointed out the efficiency. The in cab shots did seem to show just how efficient the loading process was and I'm sure the macro work of pulling the slope down and moving the cut along (and then back) is just the same. Nice.
I have watched a number of your videos. Always impressed that you are alowed on site, but more impressed that you get up close inside these machines. When you were under the bucket of the 9800 I said that is huge. The stats took it to another level. Makes the 1/2 ton end loader I operated many years ago look like a match box toy.
Aaron - Greetings from Texas. I love watching your videos. I appreciate all that you do to travel to all these different places and produce this stuff! As an old dude, I love seeing young dudes, like you, willing to jump in, take some risks (like not knowing all of the tech specs) and just do it! I feel like a kid when I see all of the giant machines and projects that you present in your videos. Keep 'em coming!
Another killer video. Thank you, Aaron. I love different videos of equipment working. Thanks for the hard work you and your crew do to get us these different machinery. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!!
I'd hate to be the first one that uses the rear of the counterweight as a dozer blade. Excavator operators know what im talking about. Some companies will can you if you do. 😂 EDIT.... no matter the size of the machine.... sitting and doing nothing but loading trucks gets very boring after awhile. Especially when you do it for years. Im very impressed with mans capability to build such big machines and the power of hydraulics.
When u think about it I guess hydraulics are just man’s enhancements of the human arm. I guess a hydraulic excavator was made “ hey my arms getting tired and not moving enough dirt” let’s make an extension more powerful. Hydraulics are man’s extension of the power arm. 😂
Awesome video mate we getting a few 9400, 9600 and 9800 over the next couple years at the coal mine I work at in the Hunter valley, I'm currently operating a cat 6060 and when these liebherrs are built at work I can't wait to give them a swing keep up the good work
Awesome video awesome commentary don't worry about people saying that you don't know what you're talking about. Keep it up. I wish someone would give commentary on aggregates material, i like quarry work seeing gravel being crushed.
@@AaronWitt After the Caterpillar 6090 ceased production, the new Komatsu will become king, I can’t wait to see the first photos, I’m sure this machine will turn out to be very impressive
@UnknowableAbsolute dunno about that, might be the biggest but if it's anything like the pc7000s or 8s, the 9800 will still move more dirt. Big yellow slugs
@@claytonnicholson830 I like Komatsu excavators, they are quite reliable and durable, and Liebherr’s digging speed is probably better, you’re right, but Liebherr’s price is much higher + we don’t yet know what this new model will be like to draw conclusions
i love seeing people visit German companies - the German companies know how to treat their customers. everytime i get invited, they treat me like royality - show everything. serious training, then fun dinners - i fly home as a free marketing tool for them. they impress you, and then without them even needing to tell you - you tell everyone about how great they are. customer days, invites, taking care of your agents. always impressed. maybe this is normal in other european countries or maybe some asian ones because of tradition - but i have never felt so welcome.
Yes, a good looking impressive machine. It is large for a hydraulic excavator/loader. Cable operated draglines and shovels, used for stripping, dwarf it.
Love what you do mate, especially aussie videos , you should come to yancoals Mt thorley in the huntervalley Australia, it has everything for 9800's,9600's Hitachi 5600, p&H shovels, 3 draglings many different trucks, drills and more ,Anyway apprentice what you do and keep up the 5 star content. 🇦🇺🇦🇺⛏️⛏️👨🏽🏭
There are a number of good channels that cover heavy haulage in Western Australia and they regularly move large mining equipment from Perth to the mines in the Pilbara. Just for fun measure the distance out and then transfer the same distance to the USA or Europe!
Delivered parts to one working at Christmas Creek in the Pilbara a few times. Until you're standing next to one you don't realize how big they actually are. Like anything though, when you're operating one shift after shift it does get pretty monotonous.
Aaron, if possible could you do a little segment or a video compilation of engines in these machines? I never knew about the CAT 3500 and 3600s until I started working for CAT. I’m sure some other engine nerds like me would love to see the massive 3500 and Cummins QSKs
awesome vid.. you say they run 24 hours, would be really cool to get a vid on maintenance schedules, down time etc. this thing i think would need alot of maintenance?
@@AaronWitt I can give you info on this, as I work on them. 250hrs (about every 10-12 days) and they get an oil change (oil only, no filters, generally done at refuelling time) then 250hrs later (so 500hr interval) is a minor service, generally down for one shift, and is oil+filter change, inspection, minor defect repair. Another 250hr service after that, and then next is the 1000hr service, down for 1.5, maybe 2 shifts, depending on what needs to be done in terms of defect repairs. Each thousand hour service gets more intense in terms of what oils get changed, what work gets done etc. The 9800 I service is pushing 80k hours, and most of the 996s are well over 100k hours and still going.
Australia is a huge country with huge mineral deposits that require huge machines... add Aussies with huge balls that consider it just another day on the job...
I hauled an Excavator Bucket for a 9?00 to Trapper Mining, Craig Co. 13' 6" wide x 63,000# from Port of Galveston, TX, had to go the long way around via Wyoming and back into CO., with pilot car. Deer were roaming the streets in town, at 14 degrees below F.❤
I always like to visualize how much dirt they are moving in wheelbarrow loads since thats what I have experience doing. Each 9800 full bucket is equivalent to about 700 wheelbarrows worth of dirt.
Just a math involved in figuring out how much hydraulic flow and all of that kind of stuff you need for something this size this is where maintenance will absolutely extend the service life of the machines oil changes air filters. Wonder if they wrapped a run a special air filter out there.
Ahh finally the content I’ve been hoping for! Pardon my lack of knowledge. But does Aron do something beyond this channel to get him invited out to these places? Because I feel like one 15-20 min video isn’t enough. He could make hour long versions of his videos and I’d watch every second. Anybody know?
we do paid media work for companies too but videos like this are unpaid -- we just want access most people don't have and the mining companies want exposure. A win-win
Great videos! So what if some info isn't 100% correct. Your enthusiasm is 120% which makes these videos worth watching. There will always be know-it-alls complaining but I have worked a lot around great operaters and none of them needs to yapp about there greatness. They let digging do the talking
Have you seen anything about this trolley system that was to have been developed out of Sweden? A friend of mine is trying to get hired on with a Metallurgical Coal mine in British Columbia, and apparently, the mine has purchased a number of Trolley adapted trucks from Cat.
yeah I believe it's Copper Mountain in BC. Or maybe there are multiple now. Trolley works well in the right applications. It's also the only way battery trucks can ever even be possible at scale
trolley systems are fucking incredible, i think a lot of mines have them now but they really should be in more, every major haul truck manufacturer produces them now, and for good reason they work incredible with diesel electric haul trucks(i dont know why cat even makes mechanical diesel anymore), you connect to the lines when going uphill loaded and the diesel generator drops to idle, using 90% less fuel, while the truck hauls ass up the roads at 40km/h(twice the speed youd be going running off the generator), because the trolley line is providing enough power to make the motors output some 5000hp, nearly twice what the diesel generator does
That's a cool document. 320 bar max hydraulic pressure LMAO that's just comical and there is 5800 liters of it. Would love to see more of the Liebherr facility of the 9800 especially the hydraulic swing drive and planetary gearing.

Aaron, a question to ask if you ever have the opportunity to speak to the manufacturers of these large hydraulic excavators or front shovels. Could why are the cabs made so small? With a tiny jump seat. Cabs to not accommodate for another operator/ trainee, to actively sit because the operator. Trainers are forced to stand. Why don’t they make the cabs wider? A few feet wouldn’t affect the stability of the machine.
@@DamienMacNeil mate them seats are on a swivel. You just pull a rod and the seat will swivel from its lock up position, and you literally turn it so your sitting right beside the operator
Dammmm back in Australia again ahy. I live in Australia. Great content. About time . Seems as tho we have more dirt in ground work and mine everything stupidly. Makes sense I come to Australia
It's incredible to see the sheer size and power of the Liebherr 9800 in action! The engineering behind these machines is truly impressive... 💪
Thanks @AaronWitt, I get to operate that digger 65 from the video 7 days a fortnight. What a machine it is. The biggest and best I've ever worked. Great to be able to show my kids the actual machine I operate. Cheers
One scoop from that 9800 would probably double my lifetime total for digging and hauling. The scale of these machines is unbelievable!

Liebherr: "How big should the new excevator be?"
Mining company: "Yes."
😁😁😁😁😁😁
they probably threw money at them and said build us one thats as big as you can make it with this money
I built the 9800 Lego Technic model of this beast. It is the pit shovel version. Fully functional, 4400 pieces and took me 6 months to build.
I'd hate to be the first one that uses the rear of the counterweight as a dozer blade. Excavator operators know what im talking about.

The Liebherr 9800 excavator is also available with two optional Liebherr diesel engines. These engines are produced in our own factory in Colmar.
Its pretty cool watching this video and seeing the machines and mine site i used to work on
They make one Hell of a dragline also I was an Operator on one of the 8200 in Okeechobee fl. I even got to meet one of the engineers and a few others.

@@AaronWitt Yeah, they weren't cheap. $600 & $800 AUD.. I also have the 6x6 Volvo Articulated Hauler..
why did they put the boom cylinders up side down? for dust and debris. that is a great idea!

How are these things transported? Seems like even if you take it apart, there’s still some massive pieces to be transported
They get dismantled and trucked away. Australian heavy haulage is another industry we take very seriously!

Out of curiosity but how much hydronic oil do they take?

How do they make the buckets? Shaped metal?
Alberta Canada will have 900 tons Komatsu excavators in a couple months. currently komatsu has 800 tons excavators.

Well if it had a hyd thumb I’d be interested in one but it’s not versatile enough for my acreage lol
Is it SOP to have the pickup trucks with the flood lights on each bench or was that done for you?
Great videos!!!!
Australian Sop to have lighting plants on all active areas. So all active dig and dump areas. .
yeah they always have light plants to make the dig areas brighter
Great music!

Awesome video...happy monday from s wales u.k
So a 9800's bucket is equal a small size bedroom. Got it 👍
at what point do you stop making larger hydraulic excavators and just use a dragline or bucketwheel instead?
it all depends on what they're mining but nowadays hydraulic excavators or electric rope shovels are far more efficient and flexible overall
Dammmm back in Australia again ahy. I live in Australia. Great content. About time . Seems as tho we have more dirt in ground work and mine everything stupidly. Makes sense I come to Australia
The Cat 6090 is the biggest. I have heard Komatsu will have an PC9000 which will be bigger but I don’t think they have made one yet…
❤Monster bucket!
I would love to operate one of those.
