I'm not sure how the ratings work but we have a movax 100 and a 50 and supposedly the numbers are the energy like an ape 150. Here's another picture of driving sheets at this tide gate we built last summer

A few pictures from last summer that started out as a rescue mission putting a ls 118 back on its tracks. After that we took over the job of putting a new asphalt plant together

What was the story regarding how it ended up upside-down..?
If it ran in that position until it died they are lucky if all it did was bent a rod IMHO .........

I have the video of it tipping over but I can't get it to download. They were lowering the slat coveyor off the silo. We told them we couldn't do it with a 90ton p&h and an 80ton grove so they had this other outfit do it with a 118 (60ton) and a 108 (45ton?). They we extremely overloaded and it tipped with the load 50 feet in the air luckily the crane holding the other end didn't go with it

It stinks that somebody got wrecked in all this but there has to be a lesson in all this somewhere....
