Comparing the BIGGEST Trucks on Earth

In this episode, we got to explore the Suncor Base Mine and compare some of the largest trucks on Earth. Witness the process of oil sand mining from start to finish as we journey through the shovel pit, analyze the extraction process, and observe how these massive trucks carry their loads to the crusher for processing. We got to see how these mechanical beasts work in harmony to support our oil-dependent world. Special thanks to Suncor for showing us around. Hope you enjoy and learn something new along the way! #mining #construction #heavyequipment Equipment: CAT 797B Mining Truck | 980E Komatsu Mining Haul Truck | 930 Komatsu Mining Haul Truck | Bucyrus 495 Shovel | EX8000 Hydraulic Shovel | P&H 4100 Mining Shovel FOLLOW ME: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aaronwitt/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaronwitt/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aaronwitt/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aaron_witt FOLLOW MY COMPANY: BUILDWITT We have an APP: https://www.buildwitt.com/software/construction-training-software/ Website: https://buildwitt.com/ Podcast: https://buildwitt.com/dirt-talk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buildwitt/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/buildwitt Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/buildwitt Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 01:34 - Explaining Oil Sand and Its Mining Process 03:09 - Mining Process and Truck Loading 04:27 - Examination of the Electric Shovels and Their Functioning 04:47 - Discovery of an Armored Dinosaur 05:59 - Close-up Look at the Bucyrus 495 Shovel 09:15 - Break Time at the Pit 10:30 - Diversity Facility and Its Features 11:06 - Exploring the Komatsu 930 12:50 - Exploring the Komatsu 980E 13:18 - Tire Talk 14:14 - Exploring the Caterpillar 797B 16:19 - Oil Sand Processing and Crushing 18:16 - Importance of Road Maintenance in Winter 19:36 - Overview of the Crusher and Autonomous Trucks 21:17 - Conclusion and Goodbye from Suncor Base Mine
