Welcome to our photo-pages
When we have been in the port of Antwerp for inspection of several motor graders we came across this Bucyrus excavator. It was disassembled for transport. The bucket had a capacity of 6 m³.
Russian Bulldozer
This is how it looks when life is over. Old Russian bulldozer T100, seen in Georgia near Tiflis in 2012. Most people do not remember: to start the engine it was necessary to start a little petrol motor. Then, with engaging a clutch the large 4-cylinder engine was started. However, at least the drive clutches were already hydraulic. The former S100 was even with mechanical clutches and the blade moved by a winch. Hard work for operators.
Bulldozer Undercarriage
Sometimes people do not know which is the correct english description for components of an undercarriage Therefore we have made a little guide. If there is interest in more details and info how to measure the remaining life of tracks please go to page undercarriage-measurement.
Quarry Loader 988H
The CAT 988H is a quarry wheel loader with almost 7m³ bucket volume. An Audi A4 fits almost in to the bucket. The mono-lift arm is impressive. If a set of new rock tires is required the user has to pay more than 50.000 Euro.
Trucks in Romania
In 2011 we have inspected in Romania a fleet of Caterpillar 777F trucks and some other gear. Next to the almost new mining truck is parked a scrappy old Roman truck which is a copy of an MAN road truck. There were 15 new CAT machines parked in this mine because they never got a license to dig for copper there.
Astana, Kazakhstan, minus 25°C
Wolfgang was in 2015 in Astana to inspect this Junttan PM26 drill rig. It was terribly cold and walking for two hours around a machine to check all details is a hard job. But with help of the operator it was possible to test most of the functions.
Kalmar Wood Handler KTD12
Sometimes machines are really big. If the inspector makes a mistake he can easily destroy other machines. A Kalmar Log Handler is such a beast. And if you see the way experiened operators work in a factory with such a machine you know it is better to keep your distance.
