free ride

Wicked bunch of pics Pullpan :notworthy dont care where you jacked em from
Looks to me like a ships hold is a dangerous place to be, or is it that the ops maybe get complacent :beatsme. That C@t 325 looks to me like it got free of its slings / chains and dropped a loooooooong way. Just hope the op wasn't hitchin a ride at the time :badidea

Why are most of those pics of Cat equipment? :stirthepot

 

[ben46a]

because Cat has the largest market share, same reason you see no Bells... nobody uses them..........

Anyone know about those tracked haul trucks? Never seen anything like that before.

 

[MKTEF]

They are a local speciality in Netherland.
A couple of produsers down there.
Spesialy made to cope with muddy terrain, they have a very low ground pressure.

Where some on show at Bauma.
One of the produsers didn't sell their products outside central Europe...

Customer called and had a komatsu dozer stuck, It was buried to the belly pan and 85 feet down a 45% embankment, We took the Rotator and the 30 ton. Used the 30 ton as deadman and a D6 dozer 6 part line. With 5 snatch blocks with the hooks married together. We know we were well over our WLL so don’t throw us under the bus, but we got the job done. We also had our 45 ton challenger on scene and the other track hoe in the back ground but really didn’t have enough room to get them all lined up for the pull. So we decided to just try with the rotator just to put it to the test.
After winching the dozer out Travis had to have a little help his self, Tator was just spinning, so we hooked a 450 John Deere dozer to the front of the Tator and we were out in no time.

For anybody that hasn't figured it out, "Cat320operator" is our young friend Agent. He'll probably grow up to be a phenomenal excavator some day. Clearly, even when he finds himself in a hole, he doesn't know how to stop digging...

Thanks for the heads-up on the plagiarism. Reading his post, I was lead to believe that our little buddy was the one doing the actual work in the pics, thanks for enlightening me.

Cat320operator, you really need to get your act together. Passing off events and pics as your own goes to the lack of maturity and class that you represent. Bragging, lying and misconceptions get you nowhere.

If you plan to make it anywhere in this world you need to do so on the acomplishments and actions that you yourself are responsible for.

I would have hoped that someone had taught you better, it would appear that you have yet to learn from your own actions and whatever you have been taught has apparently been lost. I've dealt with many people like yourself in my life and learned early on to avoid them and to not share wisdom with them, as they will only use it against you.

That is the extent of what I can offer for advise, do with it as you will. Good luck, your going to need it.

The drill rig picture makes me shiver...Imagine he must have bailed out well before it came to rest?:beatsme By no means would I have stuck around in there long enough to see where it would land...
There surely must have been some serious SKID MARKS, and not the kind on the road either...:eek2

 

[dumptrucker]

The way my luck goes , I would have jumped to safety gone down to look over edge and probably tripped over my own two feet and down over the cliff I would go. :Banghead

That looks like a road to wear a parachute when you're driving along.

Here is a pic I found online of a local accadent on rt 80 in NJ they are triming some ledge to prevent slides and had a 320 slide off about 2 weeks ago. I drove by the same day but later at night ant it was covered with a tarp but here is a pic i got online.
