Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Working on getting my foot (back) in the door moving rocks out of a quarry here for a new project. I did it before years ago, great work, better $$, fingers crossed. Back to a big trailer if so.
"Rocks you say?". Rocks, BIG rocks- they load them with a PC1100 with no stick & a land-of-the-giants grapple hung on the boom. I'll be sure to take pictures if I get up there, really cool operation.

 

Loaded in Galveston heading to NV

 

Yup me too... Especially in the states. I don't mind it so much up in Canada.

 

Where the wires go UNDER the roads, the statute bridge height is a minimum 5.3m (17'4"), and the traffic lights rotate out of the way...it only takes 2 minutes to get a 24'W X 18'H 200,000lb permit.
Oh yeah, that's only in the good part of Canada...trust me Nate height is no fun east of central MB.

 

If big is a relative term, this is my cousin...
The closer he gets, the more relative, lol

 

Wow! You got a D9 on 7, I'm impressed...why not just take your booster? It would have been easier I'd think?
On second look, or is that an 8? That would be more reasonable...

 

Well, when you get a call back right away that starts with "I remember you (from 12 yrs ago) & liked your work, let's get together- Jan. 15th work for you?" it's a good thing.
7 yr. carrier contract moving 24-54t rocks. I feel a bit dizzy......

BTW, he said they just added 2 new PC1250's to keep up- those should be pretty awesome.

Pics to follow, soon I hope.

 

Would of liked a 9, but it is a 8. Going a mine outside of Battle Mountain, NV

 

I'm waiting for a confirmation call, I might be heading to Elko, NV to load another one of these...
