A day at work Caterpillar 972M XE wheel loaders

Think most loaders with scales you have to give them a few warm up lifts before they tell u the weight lol

@@karen7366 i think he calibrated it. or something like it :P

Always gotta make sure everything’s working properly before u get a bucket full and realize u can’t dump it. I do same thing every morning in my dump truck, make sure the bed goes up, down, and tailgates all good to go.

has nothing to do with warming up the machine you could cycle that bucket like that for quite a while we no significant difference in hydraulic temps maybe a few degrees if you watch it closely. he did it the exact number of times it normally takes to calibrate and zero out your bucket scale. but he is experienced enough that he alsp did it at a pretty good speed and was making sure there was no clumps in the corners of his bucket or any material stuck to the bucket. with stone aggregates like this quarry its unlikely but can happen and you want to make sure you have a clean bucket when you tare your scale out

and you can tell he kicks er up a gear or maybe even two and turns on his ride control again to cushion the cylinders on the lift arm and bucket. this system, to put it as simply as possible because the way it works isnt simple, but it senses ground conditions and bumps and allows the cylinders to extend and retract slightly almost like a spring or an shock absorber on a car, and that helps not beat up the operator and the machine when traveling any distance or over rough terrain

Nja va rätt dåligt med snö mest tjällossning varannan dag och skitigt jävlar 😂 har filmat en hel del men jag råka radera fel mapp 😎 lite därför det blivit lite dåligt med film 😂

@@gruskarlsson Haha ok, lätt hänt :D

@Hoggystyle43 Small truck beds, no tail gates and no covers. I wonder how rocks and windows get along?

The swunged around is the spreader gate, but in 9 of 10 loads the trucks will dump it in a pile. The "tiny piece" gate is harder - atleast for me - to translate to english, we call it 'schaktläm' wich is two words; schakt and läm. Läm=gate (on a truck, wagon, pup etc). Schakt=mostly everything you dig up with an excavator, examples: jordschakt=excavated dirt, asfaltsschakt=excavated asphalt, grusschakt=excavated gravel and so on. And the "tiny gate" makes it much more easy to see in to the truck bed from an excavator operators point of view if both truck and excavator has to be on the same level. Hopefully that answer could be for some help.. And for those who thinks it's dangerous with the "tiny gate" when it comes to accidentally droping material/ rocks on roads... well, you're welcome to visit - in this case - Sweden and catch up with a dumptruck and check how much he/ her drops. Good luck! You'll will need it. It DOES happens though, but it's very rare. And IF you dropped something you'll be fined for reckless driving, and if that dropped material is causing a traffic accident you'll probably lose your driving license - all of them, even the license for 4 wheel car - for a long time. And without a driving license if you make your living as a truckdriver.. It will be some 'issues'... When it comes to cover the load, well.. I guess different countries different rules. Here the trucks can spray/ shower the load with water close to the scale/ weight out area of the pit. Usually it's enough and keeps the dust down until they arrive to dumping area because they usually don't need to travel very far with the loads, approx 5-40km (some 3,1-25miles away).

You can setup a bucket level on some wheelloaders, if you push down the lifting joystick all the way it automaticly goes to the right level And off course experience in with the machine

I’ve continued watching (which I should have done in the first place but thought I had to head out) and I’ve seen the method. It’s a finely organised set up 👍🏼

those who are by the sand huh first and I did not know that they are standing there and I chose to go down again so that everyone will get loads in the right order

So you don't have to get out of the truck to open it when unloading :) They are mostly open while driving aswell.

@@DrasticCactus98 ohhh okay so they just never close them! Wasn’t sure cause are trucks here the locks are on a switch in the truck!

@@dallaswickens7487 There is usually a pneumatically opened small "ledge" too. But the big door on the side is manual and, when closed, it locks underneath that "ledge". You can see it at 28:00 :)

The machine has an inbuilt system that weigh the load.

if that's what they're doing, we have rules on how much trucks can weigh
