Big industrial park being developed.
:notworthy More?
More Just lucked up seeing them from the highway.
New Cat haul truck
The last of them
Nice pics. Sure is a lot of equipment!
Don't think I've ever seen a D9R without and enclosed cab...
What scrapers are those, 631's?
whoever runs the 9r with the c-blade must have a boring job!
You boys can keep those 9's with open cabs down where it's warm out.
Boy I couldn't have said it any better. I don't think I've ever seen a 9R without a cab on it, didn't even think it was possible to get one without.
might be time for some new shoes on that 9 to..... those are look'n short....
I think it would take some getting use to those new Cat trucks with the cab in the center, I am curios as to why Cat decided to try this. I have over 3000 hrs on 769B & D and am use to the cab being on the left.
Thats some of Plateaus stuff. Their shop is across the street from Yancey the cat dealer in Atlanta.
yea stretch they are 631's
wonder what the weekly fuel bill is
Shovin wiggle wagons doesnt really get boring. To be a good shover you need to be 5 steps ahead. Be ready to catch the wandering wiggle wagon. Catching a scrapper is never exactly the same. Its a job that you make it what you want. If you just want to shove, then you can, and wont be an "operator" more of a seat filler in my opinion. If you are an operator, you will make yourself busy at all times.
Great photos, love that 385, though it could use a bath. Who's the contractor on that job and is there any chance you'll be able to get more or some action shots from it?:notworthy:drinkup
I second the fuel bill deal. Pricey endevour these days. Must be prevailing wage county job they are the only ones that can afford it now.
I don't think its a good idea parking equipment up tight to each other like some of these are. If you got the room then I think you should keep them apart enough to stop a fire on one damaging adjacent machines.
I wonder if they want to make the cabs on the same line as their ADT's?
Jimbruce, don't know about the action shots. The site is about 40 miles from me and when i'm done with work I imagine they are too. I might be able to get back up on Sunday though. The outfit is Plateau Excavation.
