Main reason for registering her is I need a large excavator in it's longest reach configuration (PC 1800/EX 1900 size) to place 70,000 tonnes of 46 tonne rock armour in the Isle of Man next Summer (2008)-I am looking for contacts/information to help me find one please.
Welcome to HEF Keith Bowman! :drinkup
Cheers Country Boy-very friendly :drinkup
The biggest Armor Stone we deal with at our quarry is 20 (US) tons. We move them around with a loader so I can't really help you on the excavator end. I did do a little searching on a Komatsu PC1800's boom configurations though, and here is what's available: It doesn't list payload of the different configurations though. I found the above information here: Komatsu Europe I don't know if this helps any as I'm not very expierenced in what you are trying to do but maybe that will help you get started. By the way, how are you getting that Armor Stone transported to the project site?
Thanks for that. I have found a couple of machines in Indonesia one in USA and a Liebherr in the UK but none with long boom/stick configuration so any leads or pointers for anywhere would be appreciated from anyone reading this. The Armour will be coming from Norway on 21,000t barges then transhipped to shore using a smaller 2,000t barge and either dumped on the shore at high tide for recovery at low tide or run staight off the barge to an onshore bund then placed using excavators ranging from 45t to 200t all fitted with GPS control systems.
Wow, sounds like a big undertaking. Make sure to post some pictures.
hi keith you might find an excavator that size in dubai for placing stone as they are using them for sea retaining walls .
deer licious Hey, where do you get that picture of the cowgirl on the john deere? I want a bigger copy to give to my gf.:beatsme :beatsme
I found it somewhere on the internet about a year ago. I can't remember where though....:beatsme
Keith, try these guys. They manufacture a lot of extended sticks and booms for all size machines. While you might not have time to wait for a custom long-reach attachment, they might know of some folks that have what you are looking for ready to go. ============================ Weldco-Beales Manufacturing Inc.
