Description

In this week's Monday episode Aaron and I sat down to talk about machines. Specifically a very special wheel loader. 
Most Caterpillar 988 H models can be found in quarries but that's not exactly what Bulk Equipment Company has in store for their 988 wheel loaders. Instead Bulk heavily modifies these machines for a specific application. Hot work. These machines are modified to withstand high heat from slag piles, a co-product that is a result of the steel making process. 
In this episode we will give some background on why these machines are needed, the specific application they are needed for, and the essential modifications necessary to handle this environment. Tune in to find out what makes these machines so dang cool! (no pun intended.) 
If you have any questions or feedback, email the Dirt Talk crew at dirttalk@buildwitt.com.
