LHD 1700G dan Jackpot :)

Beberapa minggu terakhir, aku disibukkan oleh banyak hal. Mulai dari kerjaan kantor, meeting sana sini sampe sidejob2 serta acara informal lainnya..Yess...berasa orang penting bener...

Sampai kemarin, (gara-gara sedikit boring dengan paperwork) menjelang akhir shift gw berinisiatif go to the field to operate LHD 1700G. Yes, a loader heavy equipment product from CAT. Because I am the only one (engineer in my division) who has LHD 1700 license (please note in FMI nobodies allow to operate any heavy equipment without licence).

So next question is why I got the license? Frankly speaking I just wanna know how hard using this pieces of equipment, and I asked my supervisor, he agreed then go head. I trained for a month (of course in my spare times), then I go to written and practical test. 100% passed the test! (-seperti biasa pengen menjadi engineer lain daripada yang lain)
Talking about loader, loader is heavy equipment for loading and hauling in underground mine which has “unique” driving position. It’s totally different from any loader for civil or surface mine. This loader is designed shorter for anticipating underground work area which is tight and limited. The most interesting thing is the operator position is oblique relative to forward or backward, this mean give the operator “same perception” while moving forward or backward. There are 3 loader type (for elphinstone) in FMI, 1600G which can load 10.2 tones, 1700G which can load 12.5 tons and 2900G which can load 20 tons.
I grab my masker and go to 2815/L Rail Access for mucking for 2.5 hours.
Selesainya dari lapangan, at 06.00PM already, I parked my LHD at back office then come back to my room. Eng ing eng… kepala saya berasa berputar dan pusing.
Duduk di meja sembari membuka email, tiba-tiba jackpot (muntah-red) :D
Ternyata I am not superman, beberapa kelelahan-kesibukan minggu terakhir plus mengoperasikan loader (yang notabene di daerah berdebu dan kurang oksigen) plus hari ini nggak makan nasi dari pagi, membuat fisik sedikit drop hehehehehe
Alhasil: sebagian waktu di hari minggu ini dihabiskan di tempat tidur sembari mem-post tulisan ini.
