Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
That is just cool beyond coolness. not much of a capacity but just cool

Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
Love the updates to the track loader. That is a beautiful machine. 4 in 1 bucket too.
That tracked dump truck looks like it has the same cab and hood as the track loader. It's not based on a real design, is it? |
Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
Wish I could afford those!! They're beautiful. That 4-in-1 bucket is awesome!

Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
It really does look a little odd Nate I have never seen another like it in 1 to 1 ..Looks as though they just turned the cab around facing the opposit direction ..works for me ..the long tracks look as though they could give some problems with material building up in them when doing sharp turns though and wow 20 rollers per side ..lots of greaseing ..lol...be neat to see it in action ..Blade in the back is great too..
BTW congrats on this months BOTM..I knew your Needle nose would take it..Deserves it ..good work |
Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
Thanks Lou! I was actually surprised about BOTM! My truck isn't even finished yet, and there were some beautiful models posted. It was a really close race!
I have to wonder if Scale Art will sell very many of those tracked dump trucks. It's an interesting model, but a bit strange at the same time. I wonder too, if the track loader is a licensed Cat model, or just based off one, and the decals will be left up to the buyer to make and stick on? I'm afraid to ask what the track loader costs! The older versions were as much as used 1:1 skid steer. :D |
Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
Is it really a model they will sell you think? Or just a model for show maybe, like you said i cant see they selling alot of those, they should build something the pepole want, like a excavator, dozer or a wheel loader, but thats just what i think.

Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
Interesting, but I don't think I'll get one. Would have rather they built a dozer. The new Cat Loader looks great though.;)

Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
So that style of dumper does exist?! I've never seen one before now.

Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
What is the application for this kind of truck? The rear blade is very strange, is that for pushing dirt back in the trench after the load is dumped or is it more of a push bar or what? Also seems like dump work would be hard on expensive tracks. Maybe I'm missing something.
|
Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
Interesting, but prob suited more for the guy who has everything. I would rather see a dozer model or grader like a 24H! The track loader is really cool. I'd buy one. Thanks for posting. I would imagine after the big show this week we will be seeing some more new stuff.. Can't wait.
|
Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
I really really like the loader, but not a fan of that dump truck, looks too mixed & matched for my taste and for what they will ask for it's price. I'm with all of you as I rather see a dozer or a grader.

Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
I wonder how much the 4in1 bucket costs... It would be interesting to see how one fits on other loaders like the Liebherr 576, CAT 966, etc...
It would give the loaders more bite, that's for sure! Cheers, Ap |
Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
The tracked dump truck does exist then! Wow. It really doesn't look to have the same heavy capacity to replace any off road articulated dump trucks. Is this a European market design? Maybe it's niche machine, designed where floation is most important. All in all, a pretty cool machine, but seems to be a little to much of a 'one of a kind' machine to sell like hot cakes! But at the price Scale Art will get for it, I am sure it doesn't matter!

Watch the youtube video above it's a company that builds equipment using Caterpillar components. Kind of like Kress does in the United States. |
Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
From the video, it looks like perhaps it uses CAT engine and technology from other equipment, but is built for the German market by the other company noted in the video.
Willy may be able to tell us, if he can listen and give us a rough translation of the audio. Unless someone else knows German, that is? WhiteWolf - agreeing that the dumper looks ~very~ odd... |
Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
Heres a video of the new dumper in action ..It looks as though the blade may get in the way if you are backing up in uneven ground ..Cant really tell how high it will raise out of the way.

Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
So nice!! I didn't even notice the cab protector on the track loader till watching the video and the dump bed goes up and down smooth as silk!
|
Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
It would be great to have one of those loaders but there's no way I'll have money like that to throw around.
|
Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
If I had a million dollars! Seriously beautiful track loader. The track dumper is cool, but seems a little...I don't know....clumsy? The tracks are so long, when it does sharp turns, it plows the dirt pretty badly, and pushes everything right into the track.

Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
The cost of the ScaleArt track loader at the Dortmund fair was 11300 eruos I looked at it but it works out to about $15000. For that money you can buy three Carson track loaders, so now I have the first one we will see how long it will take before I need a replacement, hopefully a long time to make me feel good.I bought the demo model at Dortmund complete with the rear ripper. Just made it back from Germany today so will post some pics/video of the ripper working later this week i hope.

Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
Which is what makes them more appealing to some people... the fewer there are, the more some folk want to have them.. Ah yes.. exclusivity runs in all sectors

Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
There´s a two page article about the two machines in the German magazine Rad&Kette 2/2013 (meaning "Wheel&Track"; www.rad-und-kette.de), which appeared on 22nd March (we subscribers got it some days earlier though :cool:). According to the article, it was actually the company making the original tracked dumper who approached ScaleArt to have an operating model made for fairs and for learning purposes. Had it not been for this, I don´t believe ScaleArt would have made the model at all.

Re: Scalearts new Tracked dumper and track loader
That's very interesting, Stefan! I wonder if Scale Art realized that they could update their track loader, with the new cab and hood, while at the same time building the tracked dumper. Makes me wonder which might have come first? Scale Art's plans for a revised and updated track loader, or the tracked dumper.
That magazine looks very good! Unfortunately for us english speaking members, a subscription to such a magazine would leave us only looking at the pictures! I was able to translate the webpage. Something I couldn't do with a printed magazine! |
