its Brockman mine site in the pilbara.

A few more
This one was taken a while back when we had a few hire CAT 785's on site while we were waiting for the Komatsu HD785 - 7's to arruive





And one u dont see too often. A Komatsu WA900. Great machine! For loading trucks id still take a 992G over this but for bench and tiphead maintenance this is excellent

You know what the bad thing is... Norscot is bringing out a Cat 140M grader. Too badd.. I'd love a 16M grader.

Yes the WA1200 does live up to its name! Easy 4 pass on a 730 and most of the time an average bucket weight of 60 ton. Will get some more pics shortly of the 3 new 993K's, 854K and 777F's.

Cracking photos, thanks for posting.

I'd love to see a few more pics of the WA1200, I plan on customizing mine into an Aussie mine spec machine.
