It's awe-inspiring to see 15 of the largest mining machines ever built! Each one is an engineering marvel, with its enormous size and power, helping to carry out the heavy lifting in mining operations. These 'monsters' are not only a testament to their power, but also to the ever-evolving technology in the mining industry.

In my hometown Fermont in Québec all our mining machines are caterpilar and since the road that Connect us to the nearest town is mostly not covered by asphalt and that all the 400tons truck use it because the road pass through the mine we have GIANT holes in the roads and we have to go even slower than the giant trucks to avoid having our cars Flip over
