Thanks Ken. Yes it is.
I saw the real one years ago in Washington D.C. on a barge when they were building the new bridge on 95 and thought it was the neatest thing.

Catom Trucking used to move those machines, I believe it was called a Super Slinger? I remember one went to a dam out in the middle of nowhere in Colorado or South Dakota and it was a long ride off road to get it there.

Indeed, I like weird and rare machinery too. But that one is quite unusual to say the least.  I don't like the color much, but that's awesome job. Almost identical copy of the proto. Stephane

Wow that is superb. I bet it's one of a kind. Pat yourself on he back for that. I know nothing of how it operates. Can you describe the process. CAW

It's a Putzmeister Telebelt mounted on an RT crane chassis. Hats off to DB for putting it together!
Personally; I wouldn't go near it! The counterweight is extended too far for my liking and it looks like an accident waiting to happen in my opinion. 'Guess it hasn't happened yet.

Neat custom. Not something I have every seen before, or anything like it for that matter.
