New(ish) MOG at work and other plant

[rowan lee]

Was working underground this morning and noticed this new arrival on surface round the back of the workshop - and thought of you all you MOG lovers on here. Not sure if it will be commissioned underground or for surface yet? I'll hopefully get some more shots of her in action when its been kitted out properly. (have to admit i prefer the look of the older models).

 

And following on from my earlier thread a few months back on Underground Landy's and Cruisers (http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/picture-forum/20807-mining-spec-4x4s.html) - here's a few random shots of some of the heavier underground equipment -

Cool stuff, how are they de-commisioned or do you just leave them underground?

Tara Mines LTD mate -

Its an underground Zinc (8% grade) and Lead (2% grade) operation, extracting about 3 million TPA.

Light vehicles are generally, scrapped and sold on for parts and scrap (they mostly get a bad doing and not usually worth re-building)

Most other plant is usually re-built at 10-15,000 hr intervals, and wear parts replaced more regularly i.e. rams, bearings, tyres, scoop buckets, tipping bodies etc.

After a few rebuilds a subbie on site, has them decommissioned in parts of Africa i believe.
