Project hitachi - ex1100 rig out - cat 988 move

[REEVE2007]

WANTED TO SHARE SOME PHOTOS A JOB WE DID ON FRIDAY. WE DISASSEMBLED A HITACHI EX1100 AND MOVED IT FROM DAVENPORT, CA. TO STOCKTON, CA. WE LOADED IT OUT IN 5 LOADS. THE HOUSE, CARBODY AND BOOM WERE LOADED ON A NINE AXLE, THE 2 TRACKS WERE LOADED ON PUP TRAILERS THAT WE PULL BEHIND OUT CRANE TRUCKS, THE COUNTER WEIGHT ON A LOWBOY AND THE ARM AND BUCKET ON A FLATBED. WE HAD A MECHANIC CLEANING AND PREPPING FOR 2 8 HOUR DAYS AND ON FRIDAY WE BROUGHT IN THE EQUIPMENT AND RIGGED IT OUT IN 8.5 HOURS. WE ALSO MOVED A CAT 988 FROM THE SAME JOB. BEFORE WE LOADED IT WE HAD TO USE IT TO PULL THE HOUSE OF THE HITACHI UP SOME 15% GRADES BACK TO THE MAIN ROAD. IT WAS A LOT OF WORK AND A VERY LONG DAY BUT A FUN LEARNING EXPERIENCE.























IT WAS HARD TO FIND TIME TO TAKE PICTURES OF ALL THE INDIVIDUAL LOADS SO THERE ARE A FEW MISSING BUT I THINK THESE SHOW WHAT ALL IS INVOLVED. THANKS FOR LOOKING
