Managed to catch Baldwins LG1750 this morning after de-rigging from lifting beams for a new bridge during last week. A big thank you is owed to Jack for letting me know about this one. The LG is a truly huge machine!

i agree this is a cracking machine but it's criminal it is in there colours, Baldwins where found guilty of killing a man in court last week, a man I knew, who lost his life cos of the shocking way this company treat there men and machines! Personally I would rather not see them painted in any positive light at all!

Gaz What happened in that case was terrible Gaz and it will be interesting to see the outcome of the sentencing. Hopefully it has made Baldwins take a serious look at how they take care of their equipment, its terrible how a company of that size can be found to have such serious issues.

Wow! What a great set Sam!
I saw the AK680 some years ago at Ferrybridge and it really is an awesome sight to behold.
