I'll tell you what they are going to do with it. Jewell just doesn't make custom booms and attachments. In order to get the attachment on that 1250 the machine has to me severely and radically upgraded and modified in order to accept their product. Everything is upgraded from electronics to lines to pumps. A special boom is attached to accept the high reach attachment. The hydraulics are relocated and up graded. The base machine becomes a 1250 on steroids. The base 1250 may be built by Komatsu but when they are finished with it , it has about 5 Jewell nameplates on it. Sorry to highjack your thread but this video might explain a lot. Oh and keep an eye on it for me and tell me what it looks like after the fact. One of these maybe? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN47Icz7Ykw

Ive got some pics of a new 1250 Hitachi UHD and a J.D. 850 UHD set up with Jewell's quick attach booms. I dont know how to post here, but if someone would like, I could e-mail them to you.

That's sure not what they've done with our machines... they'll take a PC400, and make it into a road oiler...Less than impressed with anything I've run modified by Jewell... Now Pierce Pacific on the other hand, THEY can tweak a machine! Then again, I haven't personally operated anything Jewell has modified after 2004, so maybe they stepped up their game.

Can somebody explain to me why the booms are so short on a 85 and 120 tons carrier? I've seen some pics of a PC450 with a longer boom than that.. and it was standard!

The standard boom cannot accept the Jewell attachment. Jewell replaces the boom the the shorter stub with the quick release pins to accept the High Reach tool and their Demolition Package attachments. They also replace the lifting cylinders with heavier duty units and reverse them as well. Reversing them does not affect lifting power.

Thanks for posting these for me Andy!
Chris-These machines belong to a subcontractor at the Hanford Nuclear Site. The 850 is still working at the site in the pics. I dont have any clue where the 1250 went.

Hanford...wow, what a cluster****. the 1250 probably went there too, they've already got at least 2 there that I know of, plus no less than (25) 800 size machines, on any given day there's 300+ machines on site, and maybe 10 of them are operating... The thing that makes me absolutely sick to my stomach is that most of the highly specialized demo machines built the right way by Jewell (all the bells and whistles, no cap on spending) will be buried on site with less than 3000 hours on them. Play around Here for a little while: http://www.hanford.gov/c.cfm/photogallery/search.cfm//1?search=demolition&?

Play around Here for a little while: http://www.hanford.gov/c.cfm/photogallery/search.cfm//1?search=demolition&? Well...what can I say? I followed your link to the photos but diverted immediatly to the main part of that website and I dont know whether I am amazed or appaled.. I am midway through reading it all and really struggling to put into words what my thoughts are. One part of me is impressed by what has been built so long ago...how it was built and also the measures in place to reverse it all. The other part of me is horrifed at just how big a mess has been created. Its almost beyond comprehension...well to me anyway. I honestly dont think I have ever read about something on the web that has gotten my attention as much as this has. It just goes to show how ignorant I have been on so many issues. As I said I am only mid way through reading it all but the realisation hit me near the start that the majority of this area (Hanford) was purely for weapons development...I may well be wrong but I have yet to see any mention of anything else. Now im neither pro or anti nuclear because there is always two sides to every situation but I can see why its such a big issue. The sheer numbers involved in so many aspects of it all is what I find incredible. I cant even begin to quote one particular set of them...there are just too many to comprehand. And mixed in with on more than one occasion the words 'sketchy'...'unknown' or words of similar ilk make it even more amazing. I doubt there are many on this planet who dont recognise the words Nagasaki and Hiroshima and immediatly know what it means. But I bet there are very few who realise just what was needed to make those two occasions happen and also the fact that its still very much around today. I know I didnt...and that is just terrible for me... I consider myself to be pretty savvy with most things in the world but hold my hands up and admit I never fully realised just what was involved in it all. I think all involved were very ignorant to what was being created in regard to waste from all the process's needed and its become a massive problem. I always knew there was waste but never did I ever realise just how much...the figure 'million's is used an awfull lot be it in gallons or tons or miles traveled by vehicles involved and that in itself is staggering. From what I can see a massive effort is being made to sort the issues out but its obviously a very long term situation that will in all honesty take hundreds of years to fully get under control and safe again...thats a massive price to pay for such short term results. What is even more worrying is the cost involved....again that must be staggering and beyond anything I can imagine. Even more worrying still is that for every nation that has the facility to produce similar then there must be carbon copies of hanford elsewhere...in places that dont have the resources to clean up and decommission sites like this...thats an awful lot of scary places. Staggering and incredibly interesting information and reccomend everyone reads it through....very impressed with it all and best read I have had in a long long time on the web. Thank you A staggered and amazed Andy

The company I work for has dug all but 2 of the cells since 1994. Out of all the contractors on site, we are the only private company, and we are the only contractor working on a hard bid. Everyone else is goved up somehow. Last winter we watched them bury 4 637E scrapers, a D6R, and a huge Manitowac crane. The waste makes me sick as well.
