wow great rebuild

I would think you would have some issues with fatigue over time, especially in the towers themselves. Do you have much problem with this?

Looks like a Modern Machinery repair?

Kind of looks like it might be the Rochester yard Scott.

Just curious why the entire tank undercarriage was replaced. Was it worn out, or does the crane style works better in the long run?

I saw it near Longview yesterday on the way down, has it sold yet?

Hopefully some folks here will get to go and get some pictures. I don't get to go this year unfortunately.

Falcon Hauler 70 - From a Madill 072 - repowered with Cat, 5 drums, 70 foot telescoping tower, cab - ergonomics specifically for grapple carriage use. Base from Volvo EC460.

#8 The tank tracks are fairly old now, the dozer/ excavator track bases are more recent, parts are usually obtainable, the hauler should be more stable with the gains that provides.

Active Equipment NZ are in the early production stages of their 'own' hauler. It is starting to be preferable to do a new build than rebuild in some cases. Models - Active 50 and Active 70.
