Nice Pics NJ-Surveyor, keep them coming. Looks like Abbonizio been getting a ton of new equipment. They are a very loyal Cat User by the looking of their fleet, the only non Cat piece of equipment in their fleet that I know of is a Hitachi EX330-5. I like their new milling machine.

Thanks for getting a pic of #441 for me. JPC has been so busy of lately,they have been using #441 and their other wheeled excavators just to move jersey barriers around. I Think it is a Komatsu PW210, and I think Railroad Construction Co used to own it. The first 4 identifies that it an excavator, and the 41 identifies that is the 41st excavator in their fleet. I seen their their excavator numbers go all the way up to #453.
Their Instagram Page.


Caught it back in 2010.

It was a RCC machine, I could see the old lettering under the JPC sticker. JPC is back doing some demo on a bridge over 295. They have a lot of guys at JPC that I used to work with at R.E. Pierson, about 3 or 4 years ago a lot of people left Pierson.

I found the pictures on the web. I had some pictures but they are long gone. The last time I had seen the machine all you could see was about 3 or 4 feet of the joint between the arms. Story was that the operator was directed by the client to walk over and place some rock in front of a politicians house. The beach was fresh fill and the excavator sunk immediately. The arm was facing out into the inlet as the tide came up, so they shut it down. At the next low tide they were able to start it and turn it. The more he tried to free it the more it got stuck. It eventually sank almost all the way from it's weight and the waves. That was the story I was told from some of the people on site.

I knew that Komatsu was gonna be big, I had seen the stick, bucket and counterweight in Pierson's yard at 130 and Market just last week. Thanks for keeping this thread alive Surveyor.
