Massive Mining in Motion: CAT 374D, 385C, Graders & Truck Fleet Remove Overburden to Reach Ore

⛏️ Today’s Scene: Heavy Equipment Moves Mountains to Expose Ore
In today’s video, we’re on location at a massive, active mining site, where a full fleet of heavy-duty machines is hard at work removing and transferring overburden — the layers of soil and rock that cover valuable ore deposits.

This is real-world, high-volume surface mining, where powerful excavators, dozers, graders, and support trucks work together with one goal: strip away the overburden to reach the ore beneath.

🏗️ Excavators at the Center: CAT 374D & 385C in Action

✅ Caterpillar 374D Excavator
• Engine: Cat C15 ACERT, 476 hp
• Operating Weight: 70,000 kg (154,000 lbs)
• Bucket Capacity: Up to 5.2 m³
• Task: Loading blasted overburden into 4-axle dump trucks

The CAT 374D is the workhorse in today’s footage, loading material quickly and efficiently into trucks using its strong arm reach and fast cycle times.

✅ Caterpillar 385C Excavator
• Engine: Cat C15 ACERT, 513 hp
• Operating Weight: 85,000 kg
• Application: Deep excavation and bulk material handling

Working behind the 374D, the 385C supports the effort with powerful digging and truck loading, helping maintain a high pace across the site.

🚛 Supporting Machines: Roads, Moisture & Material Flow

🛠️ Caterpillar Grader
• Levels and maintains haul roads
• Ensures a smooth path for trucks to reduce wear, improve speed, and boost fuel efficiency
• Essential for mine productivity and safety

💧 Water Tank Truck
• Moisturizes roads to control dust
• Improves visibility and safety
• Prevents dust buildup on machinery and truck surfaces

🐾 Bulldozers (Dozers)
• Push overburden and waste rock into loading zones
• Assist in creating platforms for excavators and road leveling
• Keep the site organized and clear

🚚 Fleet in Motion: Mercedes & MAN 4-Axle Mining Trucks
The site uses a fleet of 4-axle Mercedes-Benz and MAN dump trucks, constantly rotating between the excavation zones and dump areas. These trucks are ideal for mining work due to:
• High payload capacity
• Rugged suspension for rough terrain
• Reliable performance on long daily cycles

This tight coordination between excavators and trucks ensures non-stop material movement, which is key for maintaining output in a competitive mining environment.

🎥 Why This Video is a Must-Watch
• Multiple machines working simultaneously
• Excellent camera angles showing full operation scale
• Great look at overburden removal strategy in mining
• Road prep and dust control clearly shown
• Shows how fleet coordination drives production

This is more than digging — it’s a fully orchestrated mining operation, where every machine has a mission and every cycle counts. From the CAT 374D’s bucket to the last truck on the road, this video captures the raw effort that goes into reaching the earth’s most valuable resources.
