Getting the shovel arm on. A 2nd sky hook is handy to handle the 200kg pins. Another grey sky but this time it didn't rain except for a few drops for which we were truly thankful.
Once lined up the pins are pushed into place using the forks on an IT. They are the same design as the boom foot pins, fully-floating with a lip on one end and bolted cover plates inside & out.

What size are the hydraulic hoses that supply those boom cylinders? What size are the boom cylinders? I understand massive, but I'm looking at the volume of the barrel and thinking about what kind of flow is required to cycle them in a reasonable time to be productive.
