Auction watch

[Canal Navvy]

So why are the jacks extended ??

Might have been how it was got on/off the low loader that recovered it

Looks like it could have gone a long way with a flat tyre rather than a blowout ......
..... though that would be a bit embarrassing

did have a brand new drum for that, but gave it to Reo when he started on our wall in July 2020 .. what he arrived with was in a hell of a state, so stuck it on his mixer for him (and welded the same cross bar under the cover )
where'd those last 5 years go ???

Looking at pictures in 'that' thread I'd say not.

This is the machine the EDF use to cut our hedge.....They left it for the weekend...... But wouldn't leave the keys

Three phase power lines above, and they work live with the SkyTrim. 23m boom. Before they acquired the new machine it took a couple of men a couple of days with chainsaws on a cherry picker, with the power off, so no leccy for most of the village! The cab tilts left and right within the wheels around 25 degrees to allow it to get around corners. The operator is very skilful, he manages to get 90% of the branches to fall in our side (great !), and not the roadside. There is a large dozer blade on the front to shove the fallen limbs in to a big pile ( for us to deal with lol).
The second operator is in radio coms directing the driver. Pretty impressive imho.

On Servos as well. Will probably go for near double that money?

" On instruction of Oakingham Stud, " trying to realise some capital possibly ??
massive pile of Youngman's crawling boards??

" Hours: 4,046 / 83,834km. No damaged category assigned to this crane. the crane starts and drives however no formal inspection of the engine has taken place. It is understood that the fire was caused due to a tyre blowout on axle 4, drivers nearside. The blowout resulted in a chassis mounted hydraulic line being damaged. We consider it plausible that a mist of hydraulic fluid was released from the damaged line and the sparks from the wheel hub contacting the road caused the fluid to ignite which resulted in major damage. Fire damage predominately to the rear of the vehicle including chassis, boom etc. Front cab and top cab all salvageable. "

So why are the jacks extended ??

With a guess, hydraulic oil in the jack system will have got hot from the fire and expanded, thus pushing where it can and pushing out the legs, I saw a fire damaged Volvo A30F, it bent one of steering rams like a banana. that must of took serious amounts of force to do.

can't see as there'd be enough oil past the solenoids TBH ... they're usually mounted close to the rigger bases to keep hoses as short as possible .... more likely, as has been said, to aid getting it onto transport

Problem is the servos of that era aren’t very nice to use at all! They didn’t get them half decent until 2009..(backhoe nerd in me has woken up)
