47000 HRS and the engine has never been out of that 994, pretty good testament to it but only if they had WA1200 reach to load 93,s it would be a thing of gold.

Chris how long until Komatsu bring out the WA1000 to go at the 993K?

I see how it is, 2 vs 1! But your right, you cant beat that. Is she still up the dump or has she been moved off site, my old man seems to think she's up the dump but I thought I saw some pics on DHS of her removal from site?
Havnt heard anything along those lines Gav, heard plenty about a WA1400 though!

I'm surprised at the number of fire extinguishers G see in the larger equipment. Are fires common on them? I realize the loss would be huge if the machine was lost to fire, is this just cheap insurance?

Gravel pits and mines fall under the loving guidence of MSHA thus the reason for so many extinguishers.... i think lol.:)

Pretty amazing fleet of 797s. That is some serious dirt moving.
This is not my picture... i don't even know where this mine is... I assume Australia though since they're driving on the wrong side of the road. :professor
