Hello Mktef

The volvos are running like a dream no problems there :drinkup

Hæhre does the drilling for us out here.
Came whit a brand new d9 Atlas machine last time.

No cab for the poor operator on that one....:Banghead

But if you are a viking you do not mind freezing:yup

Sorry Rockbreaker, had to remove the 4th picture. We try to keep the site clean enough for the whole family to view. Scantly clad women are aren't allowed here.

Awwwe, I missed it too, and I like scantily clad women even more than I like equipment.......and I REALLY like equipment!

Here you go.

Pictures from Hallingmast AS.

Brings back memorys from a summerjob i had building fundaments for theese type of powerlines with a Kobelco 903.:cool2
Helitransport each morning, digging, concrete work, earth cabling and mowing all the stuff with a helicopter.(without the 903)
Going from point to point along the line with another team.
When terrain got real bad, the Kobelco was dismanteled and flown/mounted with a Bell 214.

 

[bobcat ron]

That is wild, is there a separate power unit for the man lift, or does it run off the excavator's system?

 

[MKTEF]

It's a standard truck crane mounted to the exc.
Takes hydraulic power from the exc.
I see the 315B got a generator or compressor under the original battery compartment driven by hydraulics.
I bet its a compressor, real nice when mounting a lot of bolts.

On the Kobelco, he's got the crane radiocontrolled.

Todays regulations demand a radiocontroll to be in the lift. There has been a lot of accidents with baskets.
Real strict regulations now. Radiocontroll, emergency switch, escape rope, harness connected to the basket, low lifting capasity/high security limit.
You may have 400 pounds in the basket, while the crane lifts 1000 pounds on that reach.

Good question..
I can see a tank on the 315 i front of the diesel tank but...

Maybe Mktef knows :beatsme

 

[MKTEF]

There is a hydraulic engine driving that "tank".

 

[MKTEF]

A couple of more pics of the same type.
Typical Norwegian roads when out in the bush...

The forrest machine got a Palfinger 72002, means 140 000 pounds/3 foot lifting capasity...
And thats a big crane.

Are Hallingmast a big company?

 

[Rockbreaker]

On and on

More pics coming up..

This is from a road built somewhere in Norway.
The crane digs up soil to get a more stabil ground for the road.
Enjoy :woohoo

Ps: what do you think of the fjords??

 

[Rockbreaker]

Hello Colin.

No Hallingmast is a smal firm.
They got 10-15 machines/trucks.
They have specialised in mounting, refurbishing and dismounting big powerlines in tough terrain.
A niche company with very special equipment....

Correct me if I'm wrong, the axles on some of those trailers are actually drive axles driven off the PTO shaft. I used to have a lot of pictures of those trailers. One was a water 5000 gal. water tank that had 6 drive axles. It had a large Fendt tractor pulling it.

 

[Rockbreaker]

Sorry CB but you are wrong on that one..
No extra drive on the axles of the trailers from the PTO.
Only need a tractor with a big engine and you are set to go.

When you are 16 years old you can get a license for tractor.
Cars are 18 and trucks are 21.

Not any of them....at all.

I could've sworn I saw somewhere that some had drive axles. Oh well, I learned something new today. Thanks for clearing that up. :drinkup

Thats interesting. I grew up in Idaho and you get a daylight only drivers license when your 14. It goes unlimited when you turn 18.

I've never heard of such a thing but it sure got me thinking about the gearing. The PTO runs off the engine speed. I suppose they could gear it to match in first gear so if you were stuck, kick in the PTO and push yourself out. Id probably start catching gears and leave little parts all over the highway, again!!!!!!!!!


Cool pictures Rockbreaker. Interesting countryside. I like the clam.
