   It amazes me how the basic excavator can be adapted to do specialty jobs. The long reach demolition arms also are amazing. Thanks for the pic. It reminds me of an off-shore drilling rig.

   Not often you see an excavator with lifebelts....

   Pretty slick the way they made it so the counter weight stays down low.

   Read an article about that machine in a magazine we have here in England. It's designed for work in tidal waters in northern europe somewhere, hence the scissor lift between the upper structure and the track frame. Think if I remember right the base machine is a Zaxis 800 or 1200.

    I see the original thread dosent mention a definite use / reason for the machine. As BritOperator states there was an article about it in Earthmovers magazine here in the UK and from memory it was designed specifically to excavate trench for pipelines coming ashore or departing for sea.
