not cruiser related, but its still called gettin it on rocks and hopefully its valid: I think these are pictures of the incident at BlackWater in January. .


Apparently the dozer operator was very claim on the radio when calling for help. Including the second message where he asked for them to be as quick as they could as he thought the hydraulics were creeping. The bank was excavated behind the dozer to drop it back on its tracks to drive
out. :eek:

hopefully no-one has posted these already

last one

was he trying to fly?

He could have started by dropping the rippers. What size Cat is that, with two exhuasts?

To bad I am loser non-red-star. I have a few great pix of an open pit mine fawk up...

OK BOYS, GET THE WINCH LINE OUT. :smokin:

I think you will find that is a D11 cat about twice the height and length of your average Mack prime mover.

The truck is Liebherr 500 ton :eek: mobile crane.

We had a 440 ton hydro on my jobsite two years ago in tucson. Not sure if it was a Liebherr or not but we did have a smaller (300 ton) Liebherr also. The 440 was from anthony crane in phoenix and named the "Duke". It had a pic of John Wayne on the boom. Sad thing was that the 440 was almost maxed out with one concrete spandrel that we were erecting on a parking deck. According to the operator, the Duke was the bread and butter rig and the Liebherr was theie precision rig.

An 11 is a big damn machine, I know, I've run them. That's really not to bad of a stuck by logging standards, just hook a line to the blade and jerk him down the hill untill he can get his tracks back on tera firma. I'm sure the opperator left a dimple in the seat though! :D

We had an opperator fall asleep in our brand new, fresh off the low bed that morning D5H and drove it off the edge of the log landing about 5 years ago. Rolled it 5 or 6 times end over end before he came to rest in the river below. 1 life flight, 4 ems rigs, and $30k to fix the cat later he went looking for less dangerous employment.

BTW, still paying workers comp. on that dumb ass! :rolleyes:
