I Can’t Believe They Let Us In Here | Touring TWO Liebherr Equipment Factories | Euro Vlog 6

In Euro Vlog 6, Aaron, Angel, and Ugo headed out to two separate Liebherr Equipment Factories (The Excavating and Mining factories) to check out their incredible lineup of machines.
Word on the street is… Liebherr has never allowed anyone into their facilities to capture video content before, so we felt very privileged and STOKED to be there and do what we do.
Some machines we saw included:
- A 934 Excavator
- 236 Haul Truck - The only electric 100-ton truck on the market
- We checked out the cab of a 9600 Excavator (SO SPACIOUS)
- A 9150 Mining Excavator
- + Plenty of 100-150 ton machines
And so much more! If you want to learn more about Liebherr and their variety of equipment and locations, check them out HERE: bit.ly/3aIRqnC #heavyequipment #mining #excavator

I’ve just read a story about an electric truck transporting rock from a higher elevation quarry in Switzerland down into a valley. The interesting thing is that the regenerative braking going downhill in the fully laden truck produces enough electric energy for it to be sufficient to power the empty truck back up the hill.

I don’t know about the newer trucks, but the old T282 Liebherrs do the same but the braking in them are pretty garbage. You need to really be on the brake for awhile before it even starts to do anything!

@Diezeling 2 жыл бұрын

That’s not possible ? Or is it ? So your telling me that Haul truck could run forever as long as it’s battery and regenerative brakes keep producing power minus flat tires, and other things that can go wrong

@foulcakes Жыл бұрын

@@Diezeling it has more mass coming from the top of the mountain, more potential energy (theoretically) than it would need to go back up the mountain with lower mass. Of course a lot of energy is lost in regenerative braking, friction/heat, etc, but under the right circumstances with high enough efficiency it’s definitely not impossible. It’s not that it can run forever indefinitely. This only applies when there is the same amount of energy going into the system via the regenerative brakes on the way down as there is leaving the system when it drives up the hill. It only works when it descends with more mass than it ascends with. On flat ground or with the same mass both ways it would be impossible.

One quick tip and I promise you I'm not trying to be a butt hole but it would great if you'll try this... When you're describing something like those quick connect hookups on the excavator arm. Have your camera man show exactly what you are describing and maybe even have him get your arm in the picture, as you point it out. I believe you'll be happy with the results once you see it while editing. Your channel is just what I've been looking for, great job! I am now a subscriber and I really enjoy it.

I understand that you're not interested in cranes as I've heard you say before, but do you know who builds the most powerful, and largest mobile cranes in the world? At the time you filmed this video, you were at the earth moving complex they have. I've personally had the largest in N Texas at the time on site lifting HVAC equipment into place for the job I was running at the time. It's amazing what that machine was capable of achieving, and to think that it drove on site under it's own power down the hiway some 40 plus miles from the office of the company that owns it, and afterwards removed all the counter weights, and pieces of the extended jib boom is a sight to see especially after the assembled setup in action. People who see it on the road I'm sure don't have a clue as to what they're actually passing on the hiway, are the capabilities it has. I'm sure Turner Construction has photos of it from start to finish on the Collin County Courthouse renovation and remodel job done in McKinney, Texas around 2010 or 11. It's an truly awesome site to have been lucky enough to see, and actually have it doing what I instructed the operator to do. I've had many different cranes on many different sites during my past career of every imaginable type as well as variety of manufacturers. That was one of the top machines to have the pleasure to work with and in my lifetime of experience in my trade.

@muratti72muc Жыл бұрын

not really, depends were they get there electric power from. In Germany we have 50% green electric energy. 10 years a go only 25%. Also a Diesel-Electric Motor needs 30-35% less Diesel for the same energy and the Electric Motor with a Diesel Generator needs much less maintenance and breaks less. You also don't need a clutch or a gearbox, which are also very vulnerable. You can also brake with the electric motor without wear and tear on the brakes. With the electric motor break you become energy back. Without a gearbox, clutch and normal mechanical brakes you are even lighter, which in turn saves energy. The diesel generator is also less stressed because it always produces electricity at the same speed. This protects the generator and it also needs less diesel. Ships, Submarines, big mining trucks/machines have been powered in this way for years. A mining company in Swiss have build a full electric mining truck which charges itself and requires no external power. At the moment, however, this only works because it is going up empty and down when fully loaded. by fully loaded braking with the electric motors, it gains more energy than it needs later to start up.
