777's Hitatchi EX1200

[Mike d550]

Was travelling down the A1 yesterday evening near Durham Services and saw a low loader heading Northbound with 777 Demolitions Hitatchi EX1200 Also spotted on another low loader was its 3 piece demolition boom

Anyone know anything abouts its whereabouts? I am hoping its going to snack on the Dunston Rocket up in Gateshead but I think that is being taken down by another demolition company?

Blimey Clive that is a bit of a lump you ain't got much clearance behind the cab, I'd be keckin me pants if I was driving that and had to hit the brakes a bit sharpish, mind to be fair its not the kind of load that normally moves but I have seen plenty that have in my time.

I think a 1200 maybe going to Glasgow this weekend, well something big is as Searles have got a 10 axle outfit looking for a return load south on monday!

Excellent news and photo Micko I will be calling past next week to hopefully get some photos of it working.

It certainly looks a mean piece of kit

Went back today to see it working very impressive got a few photos and video, need to get back when it is in a different position, and a bit of sun would be handy.
