there are 150 quarries in the mountains near Carrara
and about 1 million tons of marble are extracted here
every year
I'm E
the
Our star for July was a Liebherr Wheel Loader
the Liebherr L 586 2 plus 2 is the star of the the quarry
thanks to its power and maneuverability it's used to load the heavy marble
blocks
onto their transport
Claudio Mazzi is in charge at the quarry
He drives the 32 Loader. To his colleagues he is the right man for this dangerous job
the be shallow naylor
need quality cannot we are here at the heart of the Karara stone quarry
where the famous Karara marble comes from known throughout the entire world
its diverse city makes it a unique material
the marble here can be categorized by more than 200 different grades have
quality
the statue arianna is the most famous marble
it has the highest quality of the two hundred marble types
while it is famous for the quality of its inner structure
it has a translucent quality a lively tonality
you and a great structure that's why it is ten times the price of normal Karara
marble
the statue made up statue REO marble has a special translucence
it becomes an amazing piece of art anyone who wants to work in the quarry
must have a lifelong passion for it he must like to be outside
surrounded by nature and love the challenge of the mountain rescue
when we come up to the quarry in the morning it's like coming home
and we spend a lot of time in the pit awash it's like being part of a family
the hard work with the marble bonds us together it is a passionate
otherwise there wouldn't be so many people wanting this job
known she shot a bit to talk peace to all level
shows prancing unified me the McKean Rd or all the machines we use in the quarry
to move the marble are manufactured by Leeper
we have plenty of them in different sizes you we've been a leave her
customers since 1996
our company owns three excavators the 974
the 954 and the 924 and we also on this wheel loader
the 586 so far it has been quite a good fleet
but we are planning to expanded when we enlarge the quarry
in shape we'd all love you anymore according to a study like a
while I will mark a movie mean dodi did treat machine is used for two tasks
sometimes removing small a material but most of the time
loading the big marble blocks onto the tracks for a while I have tested the
machine extensively
it can easily carry 27 time blocks and lift them up
onto the trucks 30 tons are also possible
but a little demanding for the operator but 27 tons of absolutely no problem
the marble block bridge the machine is carrying right now
weighs about 20 tons yeah the tipping load of the machine is higher than
before
the speed and stability are better and breaking for submission
has also increased these are the most important qualities the machine needs
in order to work here on top of the mountain the main reason
for choosing the 586 wheel loader is the hydrostatic drive
and its auto diesel ERATION system this creates more power
driving up and down slopes in the Karara Corey
the auto deceleration system is much safer for the driver
and the machine because the brakes cart overheat
this way the machine can take every curve in the quarries
gala the ecology gonna legality push amalia
even though the working conditions have been improving over the years
danger is ever-present every single day in the quarry
is a challenge for man and machine the challenge is to recognize possible
danger
and to get a feeling for the amount of danger in the daily tasks June
every working day there is the fear that you might not get home safely
broke when you come home in the evening tired but back to your family
it is another day but you took the challenge and why
we unfortunately sometimes people die in the quarry
that hits everyone hard once the marble blocks have been loaded onto trucks they
will be taken down the steep tracks to the harbor
the stone has not moved from millions of viewers that once the blocks have been
quarried
they go through many Afghans about half were exported to the Arabian Peninsula
due to their size and weight loading at the Harbor
is a challenge for both man and machine
