Safe travels Craig, did you see your booth location for CONEXPO. You ain't going to like it. You better teach those Germans how to play Cornhole.

Beautiful units. How do you get them over here ?
Their FedEx driver hates them ;)

Has to be a chore to get them to the docks, and from the docks to the customer. Still impresses me seeing them go down the road.

Ummmm. No
Really? They're not delivered overseas via shipping firm? Not saying your company uses this specific contractor I just posted the link because it shows them shipping HUGE equipment.

With equiptment that size I doubt they use a shipping/freight forwarder firm. I bet that they work directly with the shipping lines. We have shipped a few large items that would not fit in a container. Prices to ship these items grow exponentially and I would not trust a company with our property. I can’t imagine the logistics of getting one of these on a vessel.

We don't have passes believe it or not . But we do have people leave early so some passes can come available.
Are you going to 2020 Conexpo-Con/Agg in Vegas next month? If so, do you know if exhibitors can give out free passes for visitors? :D

2 more from the factory yard. Had to screenshot them from my other phone. This is our biggest crawler . Fun fact - each track pad weighs one metric ton. 2200 lbs. View attachment 844461 View attachment 844462
Is this one bigger than the ones in either Vegas, or the one you showed setting up in Long Beach?
Two flights of stairs to get to the controls:oops:

That's heavier than the track pads on NASA's crawler transporters that were used to move the Saturn V rockets and the space shuttles. They weigh 900 kg, 1,984 lbs each.

The all terrains? About 40 to 50

The biggest crawler? We have made 4. The one pictured here is number 5. Depending on the amount of boom they are right at 40 million
