Hey PullPan

[SangerHydro]

Have you seen or do you have any pics of a large Cat Dozer that got caught on one of those huge disc type shovels in a mine accident???

I've been looking for those pics and story behind it and have had no luck.

Pullpan might have a better sized one. If I recall, there might be more than one pic of the incident, but this one I had on my computer. I'd sure like to know the details too...

[rino1494]

Anybody know what size dozer it is ?

[Wulf]

I know that it was a D8R. I think it fell down to the sharp end of the bucket wheel when pushing material down to the working area... but maybe someone else can confirm and has more facts!

[SangerHydro]

Yeah !!!

That's the incident I was refering to. If I recall there were indeed several pics. What exactly is the name of the machine that scooped it up?

thanks ya'll,
Todd

I have the article at work.. its posted on the board at the office..

it was in germany I believe.. but the dozer was left in the way because of a shift change.. when it was scooped up..

Altho I have been known to be wrong time to time.. altho not very often... :bouncegri

BTW.. anyone know what LCR represents?

[Dickie]

The CR in LCR stands for "Compact Radius", if I read my press releases correctly (and retain the info, hehe)

[rino1494]

....and the L stands for long undercarriage

[SangerHydro]

I finally found the Email that was sent to me with info about the machine that scooped up the dozer. But it's in a PPS and I don't know how to post it here. Anybody here wanna give it a try? I could email it to ya.

woww-- i heard once that that was on a mine site and they wanted it removed quickly. i heard it on a pic site... cant remember which one.

[slagpot]

The name of the machine in question is the ....{Krupp bucket wheel excavater} . Yeah I too read about the accident, the operator must have had to change his pants.

Theres a german link to photos of this machine in the Rhine coal pit in germany. I'll have to find the link, theres only one problem. Unless you can read german,sometimes its a pain to move around the site.
