    Couple more photos...


    [​IMG][​IMG]

    First one was a real odd-ball move on an airport. PC360 Komatsu. They were pulling manhole covers off the water-main, each one weighed about 10,000lbs. Shuttled the excavator out and we picked the cover onto the rear of the lowboy. However, because they used capped cables with locks to pick it rather than hooks, we couldn't release the boom of the excavator from the man-hole cover. Leaving the boom in a position where the cables were slacked and wouldn't jerk the man-hole cover while moving (because you REALLY don't want to have something come off while driving across an active taxi-way, meant having the boom upwards of 20-feet into the air. Certainly made for one amazingly top-heavy move.

    Second was a load of beams. Local shuttle to a scrap-yard.
