Was on bbc4, called engineering giants, they basically stripped down a boeing 747 which had to be done as a service for british airways- quite interesting actually, the diggers were breaking an ex service one.

 

Thanks will watch on catch up after tony robinsons hiking program

 

Sorry for the change of subject folks

Looks like an old 5110b converted, seen a few interesting uhd conversions but not a material handler like that, thats pretty cool.

i am unsure if its a material handler or a demolition rig looks too slow to be used for material handling they use rigs like that on the continent for hammers and shears the last one i seen like that was at liverpool docks breaking up the seawall

quick question is there a log grab that would fit a normal 3.5ton mini digger on hire with no modification required?

thanks carl

 

Chances are its only got one service so will only be able to grab but depending on cost fixed selector grabs are available plenty on ebay that have 2 sets of pins at 90 degrees to eachother for use at different angles

Or a freely rotating log grab again check ebay the grabs without ratator are quite cheap then just find someone to make a rotator easy enough for a welder if you dont want the pipes run through it

Fixed grabs would require welding you could always just tie the crowd ram shut and remove the pipes for the rotate circuit of a log grab if you want but dunno what hire company would say

That's what we do with our grab on a hire 3 ton digger, company I deal with were fine about it and even fitted quick fitments to the bucket ram and pipes so was easy to swap back to digging if needed and then when it go's back to normal hire work they take them off and put back to normal.
