A pic of a new PC800-8 just after it was put together. Fitted with auto-lube and bucket cylinder protection , rear and side cctv and chevron ballast. Has new pumps instead of the old dash 3 style pumps.

Chevrons

This how the counterweight is painted, a regulation in most quarries in the UK if not all now.

I like the cylinder protection, I'm always surprised that all the little wannabe demolition companies around here never put that stuff on.

That is one nice looking machine there! I'm kind of amazed we haven't seen one on our site yet since we always seem to have contractors buying one of the latest and greatest to run around with. I hope to get the chance to check one out one day.

All the ME spec 800's have 2 dipper rams and the construction style boom and dipper all have single ram systems!
