Above: A high-capacity CAT 988H front-end loader quickly fills the bed of a customer’s truck with limestone (limerock) at White Rock Quarries in Miami, FL. Fast loading times, state-of-the-art outbound scales and remote ticket printing keep things moving and ensure fast turnaround times for customers.

Below: After the ground is demucked, mining at White Rock starts with precision drilling and blasting to efficiently fragment the limestone, while minimizing overall vibration levels. The shot rock is recovered by dragline, stockpiled to dry, then hauled to onsite crushing equipment for sizing into a range of commercial aggregates and screenings. (Photos by Dave Kibby)
