Hi all, just wandering if people could please share images (or PM me) of the rear 'catwalks' aswell as the extra walkways on the side of the larger cat dozers, namely the 10's and 11's. Or even better email so as not to clog up the forum. dean_linic at hotmail.com
I don't have any in my collection and google images and HEF only came up with a couple.
To be used for modelling puposes.
Finished model will be shown here in coming weeks, along with a few custom demo excavators.
Cheers
AB

Cool, thanks Jason.
Certain I'd seen this before, when you first completed it, but still good to have another look at it!
Cheers

Exactly what I was after!!! Is the ladder in that second picture retractable or does it fold up out of the way?
I do recall a member (TimT IIRC?) posting the picture of that first 11T. Insane!

Not sure sorry mate, I'm pretty sure that most of them hydraulically swing away but it's pretty hard to see from the picture. Rowan.

Rowan. I have seen diagrams of ones that instead of stairs leading out from the machine they go down parallel with them going back wards. These tilt up horizontally then flip vertical against the machine. Novel idea.

There was an Austrailia contactor at the show and called those "walkrounds". They are pretty cool.
Real men drive diesels!

Quite a few Aussie companies do ones like this, check this YouTube video.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo3-jq6fvgMRowan.

Stupid question, I know you need them for safety, but whats around the back of the cab needing access.
