[4K] Largest Hole in the World – Bingham Canyon Mine – 60 fps
A visit to the largest man-made hole in the world, the Bingham Canyon copper mine.
I made a few mistakes in my voice-over. The dump truck close up was actually of a 320 ton model, identifiable by the red lip on the front of the dump bed. Additionally the machine I thought was a 4100XPC was actually a 2800XPC, a slightly smaller model. The 4100XPC (#98) is up on the left side of the pit and there is a significant amount of footage of it in this video.
Amazing !
I would love to take a trials motorbike for a razz round there .
Beautiful and detailed footage! What camera and lenses were you shooting? Can’t wait to visit here. Visitor center is currently closed.
The biggest darkest hole in the world 🌎…. 🕳 aka my ex wife…..
I went there a few years ago. It was not open to visitors, so we hiked all the way to a peak to take a look at it.

30:27 Anyone want to do this with me😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
I remember my first time going to the bottom of this pit to get in my truck..
And to think I drove right through Salt Lake City on a solo vacation back in 2018. If I had known about this mine, I would have made plans to tour this place. Looks very cool.
Why is there a school bus at the bottom, don’t they know about child labor laws?
Thanks for showing unedited footage of truck loading. Too many mining videos have to many cuts in there. I’ve been there a few times when I worked for Rio Tinto. Nice bunch of people.
I hail all the way from Brazil. Amazing and very informative video! Excellent job ! also work with minings !
they ALL look like micro machines in a giant sandlot
Why is there no people outside the vehicles?
great job thanks
The video show no justice to these trucks there a size of a house
A lot of trucks sitting around doing nothing. Coffee is cheaper than diesel, park em up lads.
This video was great! This was a Sunday Drive regular, when we lived at the bottom of the hill in Herriman.
I saw a documentary about a copper mine in Africa where the dump trucks used a trolley system to make the uphill part of the journey. Electricity is obviously way cheaper than diesel, and the electric motors are also way more powerful, doing 24mph uphill compared to the 8mph that the diesel engine could
So I’m wondering, why doesn’t this mine use something similar? The uphill journey is very long here, using diesel to lift all of that rock seems very wasteful. Any idea if it has been considered?
BIG PIT
I remember looking down from the old visitors center, wondering why the group of little cars were painted yellow when I realized they were full size school buses.
The dump trucks are the size of a 2 story home.
