Plus Cats new Rock Header and it looks like the new size for haul trucks is going to be 450 tons. 2016 is shaping up to be a good show. I think the truck size will be a little larger than that based off rated loads being swung from the loading tools. Was talk Komatsu would reinvigorate a loading tool that was touted a few years back also. Gav, Belaz, the one's who say they are going to build the larger truck, spec out a capacity of 450 Metric tonnes. So that would work out to 496....or basically 500 short tons.

Sorry if I come off as ignorant but could someone explain the pros of having the "tripower"
Set up on the boom ??? No other oem uses such a device. As far as I can see it keeps the bucket level when raising the boom....maybe transfers stress somewhere else ??? What am I missing here ?

Like this: (not my photo)  Thank you for the photograph because I had no idea that the roof was high enough to permit a large crane to work inside of the hall. I had assumed that it would be transported by SPMTs but I was unsure how it would be unloaded.

Amazing article. That locomotive gets impressive fuel economy - 600 mpg. Too bad the news paper (PR Newswire) can't afford a fact checker. ( should be 600 ton miles per gallon. I.E. the locomotive by itself gets 2.5mpg )

yeah the locos get horrible fuel mileage, but they pull an incredible amount of weight per gallon of fuel, a train from Chicago to say Ft Wayne Indiana, they won't let leave the yard with less than 3000 gallons, not cause it can't make it but cause they don't want to have to stop again before they NEED to to fill it up

Yeah you guys better start fueling up the 206, I'm tired of stopping in Cleveland for fuel!!
Compare fuel vs an engine to a truck-obviously an engine does burn more but moves a lot more freight than a truck at a time.

47th and 55th and the same yard.... we just call it 55..... the main line used to run right through the middle of the yard but the took it out and moved it on the other side, thats why they still call it 47th st cause it used to be broken up..... now its just one yard but you have to go all the way out to get over from one to the other.
im familiar with 22k but i dont work the 55 yard very much cause its a messed up yard and i hate having to go in and out to get from one to the other..... plus one yard is missing a bunch of tracks and its hard to remember which tracks are there and which arent.... that and that yard is crazy busy all day and night long..... i despise being called for a UB at that yard cause you break your ass from the minute you get there til the minute you leave with no break, IT SUCKS!!!

I don't know how, but it actually looks better in the photo. I was very, very disappointed when I saw it. Now the 1/160th 4100XPC from TWH is fantastic. I picked up some replicas at Sandvik, but other than that the show is very light in the replica department this time around. - Chris

Sorry Brian, I saw teh question on my phone and was going to attempt to explain from memory what the benefit is last night, but forgot to log in... seems you already got your answer though. I think the reason you don't see others use it, is because it's patented too.
