    Cutter head attachment brought back from up north for a rebuild.

    Crane operator who lifted it off said it was a whisker shy of 45 ton

    I'll find out details for the next one that comes in. The 200t machine is due to be loaded Friday. Takes 3 trucks to pull/push it up some of the hills they come to on the way to the mine.

    Normally, they have Cat or Cummins engines and a crash 'box. That one had a double axle dolly between it and the trailer. Trailer was 4 fixed axles. Must be a pig on tyres like that

    Point of balance is pretty far forward... The cutting head is very heavy on this thing.

    Slight bow in the trailer once loaded.

    Triple drive unit will have help of another unit to get it out of the yard.

    Over on the 4xforum and a few other sites there is a Land Rover enthusiast and artist, Ron Cunningham who lives in Nevada, US. He's coming here this year to meet some of us and to take part in the Temple Street challenge. To raise funds for the airfare and for Temple Street Childrens hospital he's been doing sketches of some of our trucks, mine is in the post but here's a scan of what's on the way to me :D

    Two photos from a recent project in Dubai. GPS controlled trailer, you can just make out the dashed line on the ground. That was the radius of the turn, there is another line on the other side that is not visible here.

    It is part of a turret mooring for an FPSO that is external to the production vessel. The piece on the trailer is circled in red in this photo.

    A lump of a chain and 4 wheel drive with a good dose of throttle would be no use to a man there!

    If you had the multi-power and a low speed box you could nearly jerk it. Stick the bucket of the Hymac on the back of it to give it a push as well.

    The heavy lift ship is the Jumbo Javelin owned by Jumboship from Netherlands. Cranes are 900t each, 1800t capacity in tandem. In reality each crane can lift about 1500t but they are severely de-rated due to allow use offshore. The rate is roughly €100k per day plus fuel.
