Does anybody have any pictures of a Komatsu 750 being transported in other countries, or other US states, models? It would be interesting to see the difference. Ken

Man them trucks over seas must have no balls. Need a push truck to make it up that little hill that is so funny.

"Man them trucks over seas must have no balls. Need a push truck to make it up that little hill that is so funny."
The load is being carried through Switzerland and their requirement is to have a certain percentage of the Gross Train Weight divided through driven axles. As Wilsons Scania, a 250 ton capacity truck, has two driven axles, they needed a second truck to provide extra drive capabilities. Talking to the driver he commented that the "push truck" did very little and was pulled around the mountain roads to their destination.

no transport pictures just digging. I got a 600, 750, 1000, and 1100.
Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.

Thanks for posting Ken. The reason for the pictures of the CAT 385 and 365 was to show how much lower the Cat booms sat than the Komatsu's. This helps us in the eastern part of US, since it seems like the bridges are lower than out west. The pictures of moving the PC750 were taken on a ca-ca-cold day. Hope all enjoy. DanielD

I know I probably shouldn't post these but we had to move a PC-600 that was barged into a residential area on the south shore of Long Island. We couldn't get a crane permit for the property so we couldn't take the 600 apart. And the Temisko wasn't in the fleet yet. We moved it about 8 miles to another jobsite where we took the counterweight and stick off. And than brought it to its new location.     The old Trail King was begging for mercy. So I think we can call this post "How Not to Move A PC-600" Todd

Kokosing-Tom, that last picture is of a CAT 365CL, with a loooong special made reach boom, not a 385. I know it's hard to tell in the picture. Dan

Kokosing-Tom, yes, this IS a 365. I have only seen it when it was ready to be moved, so I have never seen the stick/bucket for it. It gets moved from gravel pit to gravel pit, so I am thinking they us it for dredging out the sand pond. It has a "reach" stick but do not know what size bucket it has.
The boom was built by one of the specialty companies, but can't think of their name now, andwas shipped to CAT for final assembly, hence the paint and decals match the machine. I will send Ken a couple more shots of it on the trailer, so you can see it better.
The company has 5 trailers, from a 35 ton, up to this 90 ton. I only escort the bigger ones on ocasion now. Dan

The first two pictures posted above are for Kokosing-Tom, to show the CAT 365 with the loooong boom.
The last two above were in response to Ken asking for pictures of any models of moving a PC750 or in this case a PC1250. The lowboy and tractor are scratch built and the 1250 was made using the Joal PC1100. Thanks for posting for me Ken, and hope everyone enjoys seeing them. Dan
