Did anyone catch the CNN article about the weather in Europe being just as bad as we have it here? They very briefly talked over a video of an airport and the problems they were having with delays. Across the bottom of the screen goes an ADT (Volvo, 25-30ton?) with a snow plow on the front. Thought it was a novel alternative use for a otherwise pretty dedicated piece of equipment. They also mentioned China and showed how they are dealing with the vast amounts of snow; a lot of it being moved by hand! Seems America isn't the only one with extreme winter weather.
i think you mean these A'25D or A25E machine.They are beiing used in Malmo and Arlanda (near Stockholm). The specifications can you find here: http://http://www.schmidt-automotive.de/_default/pdf/TJS-C-560_DE_150dpi.pdf
That is even more cool than what I saw!!! The machine I saw was a normal ADT with the dump bed and a snow plow on the front. Obviously there are many ways to utilize the ADT that I haven't thought of. THANKS FOR THAT PICTURE. That would be a cool custom build.
Yes there are a many different Adt's What do you think about these?? The second is a lime spreader and the thirdt is a mobile woodchipper.
Some more,
CPS that is a great use for an ADT, thanks for sharing looks like it does a heck of a job.
not at the moment...
id like to see the one with the plow on the front.
Not the biggest one, but still a ADT. 3 point lift at the front. 10t/20'pounds of payload. You can see the winter tires too.
It sure does look like it has a special job, dont know any more about just found these and thought id share! CPS
Stockholm, Arlanda The first link is to a short clip with bunch of ADT's equipped with snow removal devices on the airport. http://www.lfv.se/upload/LFV/Om_LFV/Jobba_pa_LFV/Vinterresurs/09_Maskin_TJS-tag.avi http://www.lfv.se/sv/LFV/Om-LFV/Jobba-pa-LFV-1/Vinterresurs-Division-Stockholm/Maskiner/
