Here are a few shots with the arrival of the first 993K in New South Wales going to Blue Circle cement. Should be interesting to see it go out as there is a good chance it will stay on wheels for the journey to site and just have the cab and bucket removed.
Great pics , do you have any of it assembeled ? looks like it will be a nice machine
Exciting times in NSW. What is the 993 replacing?
Looking at the specs, it's a beast 950 HP 133 tonnes operating weight 25 tonnes in the bucket What are they gonna use it for?
A couple of blokes with shovels
Not 100% sure but i think it may be taking over prime duties from a 992G which will become back up. Blue Circle is a large cement manufacturer so it will work in a large quarry with 777D,s.
Let's hope you can get some pic's of it leaving as I wood love to see what type of trailer it leaves on and if it has the wheels on or just the drive line fitted
Will be on an 8 x 8 Drake platform float with 2 x 8 dolly and T908 doing the business with 600 of Cats best up front.
That what i was thinking, Do you work for Cat or do you work tj Clark's
Sweet! Keep us posted.
Outgoing pics can be seen here http://forums.dhsdiecast.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=120780
I ran a 992G last summer and from what I hear and seen the 993K would eat the 992 for lunch.
