Unloading a Caterpillar D9 from a low loader

I know we have some truck and heavy machinery fans here, this is a pretty good video

Great bit of film.My father used to work on the D9 at a large open cast mine in the midlands in the sixties. He used to take me along some Saturday mornings to see Cats, Ruston Bucyrus draglines,Euclid, Cat and Aveling Barford dump trucks. I remember a huge electric Lima dragline they had, you could have driven a car into the bucket.
Thanks for posting Graham

My pleasure Chris. We are in Crete just now, last time we visited in 2015 there was a Ruston Bucyrus excavator mounted on a floating platform in Heraklion harbour. In fact, the photo should be on here somewhere.
