I'm looking for some pictures of excavators with demo tools, and/or HRD excavators being transported on US or Canadian lowboys. Despite being a large demolition equipment enthusiast, I've never been able to get a good look at exactly how the equipment is transported on lowboys, or how companies set up/spec their lowboys to haul their demo equipment.
I'm hoping to get some good pictures to allow me to customize a couple lowboys to haul my 1/50 demo fleet.
Any help you can offer would be great.
Thanks.

Not too sure if this will help, but here are some pics of an MCM Management lowboy from their website. Hopefully there will be some better pics posted for you.

Heavy haul,

Intersting pictures...I used to work for MCM management corp, And I never heard anything about them having Link-Belt machines, Now that could have changed since I havn't worked for them in over a year, but what really boggles my mind is the fact of that Pete 379, was sold at auction in January of 2007...
Here's a model (actually 1 of 24 of them) of that truck that I built:

Anyway, here are a few other pictures of Demo machines in transit:

Actually it's a 290B



Joe,

How do you like those Genesis shears? knowing Genesis's background (Owned by Paladin, the same company that raped and pillaged the once great Jewell) , I'm led to believe they are absolute junk.

Eric,
I can't give a fair review of the Genesis as it came brand new. I ran it about 3 months cutting down all the high stuff. Didn't do a whole lot of processing.
I had no problems or leaks at all.
