Ready for some live tests to verify all processes:   To be continued with final wedging post-testing, then real lifting (next time). Regards. Guy

Just when I thought you would run out of ideas, you come up with something else. This is just fantastic! Mike

Claus, I had noted the change as well, but we'll say that LorraMine received more than one tires transport, as the combination with the Western Star can be seen, fully loaded, in a previous picture:  Regards. Guy

Back to the Bucyrus lifting scene, where pre-load tests have been successfully completed: that's today the Great Day for the MegaTraction staff in charge of demonstrating equipment capabilities. Wooden mats are inserted below the shovel counterweight:  The lift can commence, with all LorraMine Management attending:  Simply impressive!  To be continued. Guy

  The lift "seen" by the drone:  On the "helicopter view", have you noted the Towhaul bringing in a large Caterpeillar dozer?  To be continued. Guy

Guy what can I say? Impressive. Also the new Pete was probably being traded in for a older more reliable Volvo VHD and the Western Star just happened to have a set of keys in it, so they hooked it up to the tire trailer.
