reviews performance caterpillar IT series wheel loader strengths flaws

[barracane]

hi, excuse me if every now and then I insert a weird discussion, a friend of mine would like to take a wheel loader for his small shipyard as a service machine, he should lift, move boats, launch boats from the beach, tow trailers for hauling hulls, I I had suggested an old excavator to use as a crane, but he would have fixed himself on the caterpillar series G model IT caterpillar those that are used on construction sites as tool carriers, to which the forklift forks and various tools are attached. what do you think thanks I await clarification.

V10 or 12 Deutz coming out the back end in that first pic BTLs ..... strange place to do a motor swap

can't see him being able to lift much in the way of a boat with a loader TBH, 'cept on forks perhaps

Iron fairy is what he needs

in the neighboring town they use these two machines I had suggested telescopic IT caterpillar

interesting lift frame ... neat ... lift in line or cross way to the machine

Iron fairy is what he needs

only on solid ground and'd need to be a decent size one for boat handling

or one of the more modern 14 tonners

or better still a decent RT 30 or 45 tonner

RTs've been around a long time ... should be able to find one at a decent price .... not roadable, so not everyone's choice

thanks for the suggestion, he works directly on the beach therefore he would have liked to use a wheel loader, more agile and able to get out in case it gets dirty, you don't think a more clumsy and heavier crane, maybe it sinks in the sand and then you have to tow it with a powerful tractor , I had suggested a powerful telehandler he says the center of gravity is too low, somewhere in between? thanks sorry if I insist.
