Great pics, reminds me of the Milton Cat here in NY, huge yard and a large gift shop.
Now that is a D6T that I would welcome with open arms instead of the 6-way blade in 1/50th. I know Ad Gevers made a kit to convert it.
Volvo sure does have a lot of demo equipment in the yard.

Great pics. Particularly the Volvo solid tire wheel loader. That one must work around cardboard recycling.

I would say a municipal solid waste transfer station, rather than cardboard recycling, the rubber "squeegee" edge is designed for pushing wet and sloppy garbage, You'd likely have a standard bucket with grapples for most recycling applications. kokosing Const Co wrote:

Labounty and volvo are a pretty good match, once a dealer knows how to properly set them up, Which it looks like this one has that down pat... (Portland's Volvo Dealer Clyde West was still learning when I was last running Volvo's) I have yet to operate a MDP20 like the one mounted on the 210, Looks like it'd be more productive than the UP-20, I never cared much for the dual cylinder design for processing concrete.

Very nice. The last time I saw the Grove it was down here in Long Beach on a Power Plant outage. It's huge.

The GMK 7550 seems like over kill for those lifts. It's weird to see a crane without counter weight. TFS

TFS They did have counter weights on the crane in pictures 2-4 when they were doing the lifts, The rest of the picture were taken about 2 hours later when they were disassembling the crane. I have more pictures on the Miniature Construction Models page.

I see the counter weights now. But it still seems like over kill for house construction.
