BC Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hi I am not sure what this is used for but it is a whopper of a machine Well I don't know what the machine is called but being tracked and with a hiab on the back I suspect it is for mountainous terrain and used to lift these blocks which I assume are concrete bases for poles or masts or something ...interesting find Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Ha ha...I have to laugh...I just thought Joe might know But what about my idea about the hiab and the concrete looking base blocks / foundations ...Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 You could be right Bill,although those blocks look very neat / square,I was thinking they may be ballast to weight the machine as it lifts something a bit heavier,??here is another photo of that same machine lifting a bridge section in Kent,http://www.coppard.co.uk/images/cranes/set/02.html Regards Joe.

WillTEF20 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Are the concrete 'lumps' the bases for telegraph pilons, because the frame on the front and the back look like they are for telegraph poles and sections of steel for pilons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 That could be the answer we are seeing a huge development of new pillions around the area right across the Kent area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
