I'm searching for more information on two machines built by Henuset Pipeline Services. The first is the massive Polar Bear Trencher set up & the second being 41B pipe layers. Can't find anything but the video of the 41B pipelayer. Any photos of these floating around Canada ?

Came across a site in the UK with a few photos but not very good ones of the Polar Bear Trencher. The 41B pipe layers nothing...

The Trencher can be found at The Road Builders and Heavy Construction Heritage Society of Canada's at Leduc no. 1 Petroleum Museum near Edmonton Alberta, Canada.





Here's the 41B pipe layer .

Here's a link to the Henuset Polar Bear Trencher in question. Any better more detail photos out there ?

If it's not to much trouble I'd appreciate it. Preferably large side shots of The Polar Bear and the Wheel Trailer. Could you also snoop around for the 41B Side Booms ? Dunno if they are on the property or not.

Thank you Anthony ,I'm sure others will want the photos too.

Yeah, I guess this should have been the first thing done. Darn it, never gave it a thought. If anyone should know it is these folks. Thank you 89cxsport.

No problem! But it wasn't much, these are photos from last year and all 3 of them didn't move since. I'll take more when I go back and let you know.

The 41Bs went to Chinook Pipelines in Pincher Creek AB.

Thank you.

Polar Bear when new, and older but still in use......

At least that means they did`nt end up in a salvage yard......!!
Not only that but in Alberta makes it more interresting because It means Mr. Graham might still have a chance to get his hands on them whenever the company who bought them decide they no longer need the 41's.
If it was`nt of their behemoth size, these big pipelayers would be solid gold for any company who do train wreck recovery.....
One thing i know for sure, if i was still in Ab, i'd spend a great deal of time at RHHS doing whatever i can to help such a great organisation.
Thanks for that great topic.

Cat 245.....Now and Forever

I am looking for industrial auction brochures from Ritchie Bros, Miller & Miller, Forke Bros, First Team Auction, Max Rouse, etc from the 70's, 80's and 90's.I am a collector and heavy equipment enthusiast and these pamphlets are loaded with nice pictures of cleaned and freshly painted equipment.Thet don't have much value once the sale is over but they are a great help to me in preserving the memory of machines that are no longer being built.Please, help my hobby by looking in your old storage boxes and file folders for these old auction sale brochures.Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Max,


Did you post this from a photo sharing site like Photobucket ? Dunno about resizing stuff.
