i must say for a company that does demo they do a hell of a job keeping those machines clean,no marks on the counterweights:thumbsup:yup

[cat320]

you should of saw all the new toys they had when they took down I-93 in Boston they have a repair yard in saugus that has some older massive machines and cranes that sit ideal as back up equipment.

That must be a massive demo job! How many acres does it cover?

[Turbo21835]

Being a Gm plant, the property is going to cover anywhere from 60-120 acres on average. The last gm plant i worked on was 70acres, approx 50 of that was building area

Hes got something like 25 Cat 345s, he buys 12 at a time. I got a buddy who worked for them. Every 6000 hours on the machines they trade them in so they don't have to deal with break downs.

Nice work if you can get it :D
I suspect that they have found that 6000hrs ( 3yrs) will give them the best return as still mileage left in undercarriage, hoses not due to become a problem,etc so a good buy for somebody, possibly has tax benefits if anything like UK, but keep them another yr 2000 hrs you will have to start and spend some money on em,even if its only hyd oil change! plus a buyer starts to wonder how quickly HE will have to start and spend money on it.
:IMO

I guess thats the Linden plant off 1&9?

So sad to see that go.

Nope, Testa's demoloishing a GM plant somewhere in Massachusetts.

Went on their website and I've seen their equipment in books about the Big Dig...quite impressed with their fleet.
