Abandoned Heavy Dump-Trucks
Hundreds of abandoned heavy dump-trucks, Caterpillar , Komatsu - all the most expensive heavy trucks you can name stay totally without care, rusting on the wind rain and snow. Who can let himself to treat the hardware this way? The answer is “ALROSA”. This strange Russian name stands for the one and only diamond mining company in Russia, making 97% gross yield of Russian diamonds, which makes a big part of the world’s diamond trade pie.
Sure they can let themselves doing such crazy things as dumping tens and hundreds big trucks and simply ordering new ones after the specified period of use expires. That’s New Russian business.

I think they could’ve saled them when they weren’t at this bad condition…..
SALED???
peice of sh!t Americans trucks…
They scrapped them and used Belarus trucks that far better.
Sh!t, Ford is tanking, GM is out…
The US can’t make sh!t anymore.
If anyonecould make US crap last it would the Russians, but nooooooo… everything in America is Chinese…
What are you babbling about!? Most of those trucks are Komatsu and are very good. The Caterpillars are the 785B which were also VERY good trucks.
I agree with you ozzy both of these Komatsu and Caterpillar Heavy dump trucks are GOOD and they are very difficult to compare.
That’s all because of Putin!
Now, now, my ameriacan brothers…., lets not get any ideas, - these are not equiped to take your kids to school everyday…..Okkkk???
And no…, you do not need anything bigger!!!
I need a little something bigger.
True… it might be a bit too small for american kids..
Boris, you should logoff, get a job and stop living off the UK welfare system.
Im thinking, I should not be so hard on you……you must have some sexual problems.
Perhaps you should try fucking more family members, instead of just your sister and that poor litle sheep…..that might improve your mental state!!!
Just trying to hellp!!!!
Sure we do. When I put you square on the yellow line, I want you to make a big POP as I roll over you.
Just wondering did you change your name so that people would reply to your comments???….Has not realy worked, has
And Boris, if you ever come to our country, please come to Washington.
Don’t worry Texas is far away.
He can’t afford to come because he doesn’t have a job.
Both of you….. All of you…. whatever, just shut the fuck up, I’m sick of reading this shit.
It’s like Rocky and Bullwinkle, Boris and Natasha.
Can I just say something to Finnish Nazi Hetero Capitalist Milk Drinker Online or as he is also know Texas:
I’ve been reading your comments for a while now, and as an American I can say that you are not worthy to be part of our freedom loving country.
You made very hateful comments about people of different nationalities, and America is just not about that.
I hope ordinary people can see that he is just a minority and that majority of Americans are tolerant and loving people.
Boris had to change his name again. What is this, the 10th time? Get a job.
Even americans hate you, get of the net!!!!
I see people like taknig other ID’s and using them as their own on tis site.
I didn’t make that comment!
CARS REAL BIG!
RIMS REAL BIG!
D*CK REAL BIG!
EVERYTHING REAL BIG!
Alright there Mannie Fresh.
Komatsu and Caterpillar investors should be grateful.
(Btw, massive doubling of pictures. Why?)
(because you’re drunk)
ORLY?
Wanna pfphfight?
yeah, what a waste, could’ve been donated towards working on the shite roads we see time and again
[i]Sure they can let themselves doing such crazy things as dumping tens and hundreds big trucks and simply ordering new ones after the specified period of use expires. That’s New Russian business.[/i]
I bet that’s once again something that just originated from the website author’s imagination. Here are some alternative ideas:
- the mine they used to be working is depleted, and thus there’s no need for these trucks anymore
- ordering new ones for a mine in, let’s say, Vladivostok, could be cheaper than bringing old ones from a mine in, let’s say, Smolensk, to Vladivostok
- who would buy old used dump trucks from a remote mine somewhere in Russia for his own mine? All mines have their trucks I guess, and when one is broken down or you open a new mine you rather order a new one than buy old ones from Russia which may break down soon, too.
Looking at some of your comments makes me wonder why some of you manage to get online, above all.
uups sorry about the [i] stuff. Thought its bbcode in here.
They could simply be worn out, rather than wasted. Engines, transmissions, hydrolics might simply be too old and worn to be worth repairing. This is a ‘boneyard’ where usable parts can be stripped off if needed.
Can I have one? Pleaaassee..?
Nice dog tho.
Isn’t CAT an American company? How would they get into Russia then?
Mike, nice comment.
anyway, it shows that we probably know how to build machinery, but we don’t know how to recycle them …
I believe the Russians bring CAT dumpers from the U.S. the same way they bring Komatsu from Japan, e.g. on a big ship.
Stubid american military build and buy new planes on a civil taxes money but not want repair old: http://zoneweb.ru/2007/02/25/amerika__kladbishhe_samoljotov_17_foto.html
That place is AMARC, most of the planes there are in working condition

why not put them all on ebay??
I would make a bid for sure.
Who doesnt want a big yellow dumptruck ?
The problem is they dont know how to fix a flat tire
One of these would work well for taking the kids to soccer practice.
This is a little-known fact, but this could also be because the diamond cartel (De Beers) is overloaded with diamonds now. They have to stop mining and hold back billions of diamonds to keep the prices up- and I’m sure they aren’t buying anymore from mines… Could be why these trucks are no longer needed.
I work in business closely related to mining industry. We produce equipment that consist of heavy mechanical parts, hydraulics and automation. We also purchase old equipment manufactured by us and sell them further as factory refurbished stuff with full guarantee. Currently there seems to be high demand for such equipment.
It looks sad to see such equipment that might be worth a fortune left being cannibalised. We don’t get the full facts though. How many dumpers does the company have in total? How many are there in full operation today? How many operating hours do these dumpers have? What is the size of the company’s current business?
The equipment seen in these photos are not exactly new, on the contrary, you can see wear on tires, corrosion on steel parts, broken bearings etc. They obviously have been in heavy use earlier. Sometimes it makes sense to use old equipment as spares. OEM spares are sometimes rather expensive…
BTW I’m from Finland, too and hate to see that bullshit being discussed earlier.
You know, my hunch is that we’re looking at a VERY remote region in Siberia or Chukotka: like 1000+ miles of roadless tundra/mountains to the nearest seaport, and then by sea all around Asia and through Suez Canal to Europe; in other words, shipping them out would cost more than what they are worth in parts. On a flip side, a boneyard like this provides an instant source of spares if needed on a short notice. So, it kinda makes sense, in a twisted way.
Those trucks are pretty old stuff.
And operating hours can be high, 8000 hour hard work in the year, 10-15 years = and the machine is not a worth to repair.
OEM parts cost money, a lot of money. 1000e for 980g ladders is robbery…
DeBeers also has truck graveyards near it’s diamond mines in S. Africa for security reasons: Every employee leaving the mines is searched for diamonds. If the trucks were to be scrapped or shipped outside of a secure zone, there would be an incentive to hide a diamond or two in a place that could be recovered later. If everyone knows that the trucks will never leave the mines, there is no incentive to hide diamonds in them.
That makes sense. Add to that, disassembly for transport, rebuilding, storing, repainting, etc, before you can even find a prospective customer for used equipment. I am sure an economical analysis was made prior bone-yarding this equipment.
i think all u panzies should close ur traps. u obviously know nothing of da logistics of mining or its support industries. go back to ur pc and milo or hot chocolate and shut up.
u wanna fight???
y dont u stick ur head up a butt and fight for air. dang
well of course they aren’t going to use these trucks!!! the tires have no air in them!!!!!!
and with the price of air in da soviet union……

Great comments today, guys!
“Sure they can let themselves doing such crazy things as dumping tens and hundreds big trucks and simply ordering new ones after the specified period of use expires. That’s New Russian business.”
No, that’s the mining business. It’s the same world over.
Resource wasteful profit-before-people business might be relatively new to Russia, but there’s nothing inherently Russian about this practice.
