1,100 ton crawler. People are on it to show the size

 

[HBCraig]

From Arizona
The crane on the right is the largest in North America at 3,300 ton capacity. For scale, the one on the left is a 1000 ton capacity and is massive.

What's the load chart on that look like

 

[HBCraig]

They are removable

You need them when you have a large amount of boom out, so when it's boomed down on the ground you can lift it without a stability issue.
We call them "frog legs"

I heard one of their picks was 275,000 lbs at 425'
Crazy

It’s an awesome site to see , the company that is utilizing it is picking some massive long span trusses for a project. Can’t post much but this will give an idea of the type of project going on. Jobsite’s like these just make me smile while on them .

I am at LAX flying out to Bauma. Our booth is about 160,000 Sq feet I side. We have 2 restaurants and a wine and beer bar for customers

I'll post pics when I get there. But yeh, they don't mess around

Hook block.for our bigger crawler. Weighs 78 tons and costs a bunch

This "H-Wagon" thing...is it there to support auxiliary counterweights when the boom is unloaded? Or is it for moving the crawler with heavy weight instead of breaking down to move?

Also odd to see business types standing near a 79ton snatch block...we were yelled at anytime a crane was up, hard hats on

No euros were yelled at.

The "M" wagon is used to increase the capacity by about 150 tons. That wagon can carry about 300k lbs of counterweight making the crane almost a 900 ton unit. It moves with the crane and turns as it turns, etc. It doesn't prop the crane itself.

Amazing, what's the purpose of the black structure extending up from the front cowling with the two arms extending to the front ?
Seems odd to me how the design of the dump bed on those haul trucks appears small compared to the vehicles overall size.
I assume that's necessary to achieve a dump angle that doesn't flip the truck over backwards ?

Its a Hybrid Trolley system. I think. Going uphill it can connect to overhead power lines and can put full power to the electric wheel hubs and let the diesel Engine idle. Less Emissions. As it hauls Coal out of the ground to power Coal Fired Generation to Power EV Vehicles and coal mine trolley systems..... Me being sarcastic.

Very interesting, wouldn't have guess it, but especially in EU, where overhead trolley's are so prevalent, makes sense. Also explains the cables to each arm.

I just figure it was a light bar. A truck that big would have searchlights up there, looking like KC Daylighters

Impressive as always @HBCraig. Do you have any test mules I can try out when we start our build in Havasu? Only issue is any one of those equiptment will most likely take up the whole Lot. LOL

The CanAm style "test drive" would be an adventure! The dump truck would be like driving a two story house

Maybe we do that on the lot….LOL. by the way @monkeyswrench we are closing on the lot next to our so we have the whole thing. We can have second annual Dessert Storm Beers, Brats & Burgers outing without worry of being towed.

Yep. For a trolly system if you order it that way

Last day
Calm before the storm. Bauma estimates 300k people came through thus far.

13 yard mixer

This fall is about 150' to 200' in size. They have it in metric which doesn't always convert the cleanest.

Blade lifter by Goldhoffer. Obviously this blade is cut short it it can handle turbine blade up to about 90 meters

Will most of the same equipment be displayed at Vegas next year?

Will most of the same equipment be displayed at Vegas next year?

For my cranes....
Yes, a good majority. But much less dirt equipment and mining equipment. There just isn't enough room

 

[bonesfab]

Just transporting and setting up all that equipment. Wow what a show.

 

[Not So Fast]

When I first became an operating engineer (local 12 LA) I worked at the LA Music Center, One of the tower crane operators took me aboard his rig, where we made some picks and I said get me down from here, that thing moved around like crazy when he made the pick and then when he sat it down, NO THANKS. I stuck with ground rigs after that LOL

660 ton crawler
This is a "W" crane meaning it has narrow tracks for travel and outriggers for stability erecting boom

Not mine but this is our biggest crawler at 3,300 ton capacity. There is one of these working in Arizona. Just wanted to share so you can see the physical size with people next to it. The guy pressure washing is standing just beneath the rotating assembly between the tracks
