I found some of this equipment for the first time last Saturday. Some of the stuff is very interesting, hope you all enjoy the pics!   CP-563: this compactor has been sitting for months but i just finally decided to get pictures of it.  Cat 980 at some sort of closed down office building.  Not sure on this one.  old P&H  Link Belt LS-5800. This machine has been here since I moved to Idaho about 14 years ago, I remember that their were two here at one time but now this is the only one left. I finally decided to get pictures of it.   another old P&H  Gradall with California license plates   Not sure about this one, possibly another P&H?  Volvo L90C

I think the crane in the next to last pic is a Michigan. It looks a lot like the toy crane they had out by Nylint and also some one made one they were selling here on DHS!!
That LS-5800 looks like it is still operational too!!!
Nice pics Oakland!!

Thank you everybody for the information! It's very cool to put some names and model numbers to the machine! The link-belt LS-5800 is still used almost daily and while it needs a good bath it is still a great looking machine. Thanks again everyone! More to come soon!

Some very nice dinosaurs there, definitely a few hours between the lot of them! I especially like that Lorain, thanks for sharing. Rowan.

Why would anyone do that to a LaBounty Grapple??? putting a cylinder behind the rear jaw instead of a stiff arm defeats the purpose in my opinion...unless the operator is your typical northwest operator too stubborn to learn how to use a REAL grapple and stuck in the ways of running a thumb...

Uhhh..because a thumb you can move is only about 100% easier and more productive than a fixed one??? Gee, other than that I couldn't even begin to wonder.

ARRRGGGG!  Same argument I have almost daily with co-workers... Comparing grapples to stiff arm thumbs is like comparing apples to spaceships, worlds of differences. Yes, if you are forced to run a bucket and thumb combo, hydraulic thumb is the way to go hands down. but with a GRAPPLE, if you have an operator that knows what he's doing or is open to thinking outside the box, a stiff arm grapple can perform some of the most precise work, quickly and efficiently. especially when it comes to sorting and material handling. I've been in the northwest for four years now, hailing from the land of stiff arm grapples, and have learned it's futile to argue with a stubborn northwest thumb runner... yet for some reason, i still try...
