Donna Lindsay, Heavy-Duty Mechanic
MY JOB
Giant machines
I work with heavy machinery such as trams, rock bolters, ITH drills, Geminis, Aries*, forklifts and Scooptrams*. Scooptrams are really, really big load-haul-dump vehicles. The tires alone are taller than me and weigh 2000 pounds. That's just one tire, so that gives you an idea of how large these machines are.
*Note: These are brands of heavy duty machinery used for drilling, extraction, processing and delivery of mined materials.
