Incredible strength! That excavator is a powerhouse!

RG Letourneau was a mechanical genius, loved all sorts of devices. Once he loved VW bugs, drove it around the Longview Texas site. He was following one of these big machines, driving right in the track of one of the tires. The big scraper stopped in front of him, and he stopped the VW, got out to investigate why the operator had stopped. The operator put the machine in reverse and inadvertently drove right over the bug, squashing it. It was a good day in Longview.

​@@miningequipment64one that pulls!? Aren't xou able to count till three? These were heavy haula trucks, no trailers.

Back in the late 80s is switched from over-the-road to hauling earth moving equipment. I pulled some big, heavy pieces... but DAMN! I never moved anything that required four tractors. That was impressive.

Astonishing. Working at mercedes truck fabric , wörth, germany and didn" t know that we were making trailers😅. Bye the way, nice transport...

That’s bad ass that they fly the Chilean flag on that huge letourneau loader which at one point in time was made in Texas who shares the same flag! Very cool 🤘🏻😎🇨🇱

@@mrfingers4737 some reason that the axle load is around 150t at the rear axle and could cause problems on bridges and rubings under the road.another reason is the worn down of hydrostatic or electric drive. these machines , also dkmp truck like cat 797 are not built for long distance drive.

The old days of Letourneau issues is 30 years ago. They are a great loader. They have a patented electrical propulsion system called Switch Reluctance. They make a CAT 994 look sad. The mines I was involved with had multiple LeTourneau’s and the 994’s were labeled “barn queens” as they were always in the shop.
