Tracked Dumped Truck Moving Stones

The latest addition to the equipment line at the Salisbury jetty construction site is a Komastu CD110R dump truck with tracks. The manufacturer officially calls it a "crawler carrier." It weights about 20 tons and has a 12 ton carrying capacity. It has a low and high gear. Its top speed is 6.2 mph. The body of the dump truck can rotate 360 degrees which comes in handy working on the jetty. No need to bang a U-turn, just rotate the cab!

The video shows the tracked dump truck coming over the stone pile and excavator. The driver gets out and the excavator uses the claw to tip the truck up so the underside can be inspect for some reason. The driver then directs the excavator as to which stones he wants loaded. Watch for the driver's hand signs. Once the truck is loaded, it was driven out onto the jetty. The stones were unloaded by an excavator working on the jetty.
