Well, as I always do, I took about 300 pics this weekend of some of the equipment at the Convention Center and at other local yards. Here is just a sampling...

P.S. One of the guys told me that the L.T. loader's bucket is 70 yds... last time it was 53 or 54 yds. I cannot confirm this, however. I think the 994 is rated at 40 yds, if memory serves me correctly. If not, I am sure I will be corrected and flogged! Teeth

Notice the 1" thick steel plates under the 994...



























Here are more pics, mostly of trucks as requested by a few members...

Ahhh, I was waiting for you to start posting.

I can't wait to check out the new cab on the 6030B.

Looks like it's really going to be a good show, I'm counting the days till I fly down there.

Thanks for the "sneak preview" Bryce!!! Is that a 2350 with a coal bucket? The coal bucket for the 2350 is,according to an earlier brochure,a massive 85yds3 (65m3) in fact.It appears to have been given a new cab like the Cat shovel.

Keep the pics coming please.
Regards
Brian C

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! I really wanted to go this year, but had no one to go with, so I scrapped the trip.

Thanks for the photos Bryce and I hope you'll be able to post some more of the big dump trucks too. It's very much appreciated!.

Thanks for posting the photos! The "new" cab on the excavator from Dortmund doesn't really look that different from the outside other than the mis-aligned side window and a couple minor details. It is a little longer and the door has been moved from the rear to the side on this particular machine at least. It stillhas a board for a roof, but that's OK.

You should also find a Hitachi EX2600, EH3500 and EH5000 around there as well as: There should be two Belaz trucks, two Liebherr trucks and the list goes on. It's going to be great!

GraniteFAn713,

I'm sorry, but if you're going to 'Vegas to look at equipment you don't need anybody to go with. In fact, it can be better that way!

Even though the registration price has doubled now, I would still consider it if I was you. Don't just check those sights like Expedia and Orbitz, check the airlines sites themselves. I'm flying out of Pittsburgh non-stop for a Big Mac meal under $300 on Southwest so check into it?

MINExpo is really unique and unto itself in the world of trade shows. Just consider it?

You won't be sorry you went.

There was a shrink wrapped locomotive in Battle Creek Mi a few days ago that was headed that way. Cant wait to see that paint job.

You mean this paint job?


I think what I most interested in at this point, are the changes they may have made to the new loading tool.....I had to think of how to word that without giving too much away.....for ultra class trucks. I'm sure it's got a paint job since I last saw pics of it, and I understand a few more upgrades may have occurred as well. Apparently they are doing a good job of hiding it so far.

The only things similar between the new and old cabs, from the outside, is that they both have four walls, and the same style roof. Which, by the way, is one of the best designs out there, with many benefits to it.

I just saw an article that mentioned one of the Belaz trucks that will be at the show will be their newest and biggest one - the 75603 (supposedly a 400t machine)

The Belaz 75601 is destined for Colombia after it's showing in Las Vegas. Since they're outside, I'd expect them to start it and raise and lower the bed in bauma fashion. There should be a second truck on display as well.
