Chepstow Plant Cat 140H

Post #1 by Jim M » Wed Jan 19, 2011 1:02 am

Here's a few pics of our cat 140H that I'll be soon learning to operate. I had a go a couple of times before and decided to ask if i could learn the ropes of being a reasonable :eh: :think: Grader op. I know there is nothing like experience but if there are any of you with some help and advice it is gladly received.

Nice pics Jim!

I can only provide a Swedish document about grading :D
It is an old document by Bolinder Munktell - I think some things might have changed :angel:

You lucky devil. The few times I've had a chance on a grader I've loved it although its only been up and down the haul road. I'd love one..........maybe one day I'll get my chance and I'll be seeking advice from you! :lol: :thumbup:

Hi Ian
Yea mate i first started operating plant in the China clay works then i moved onto civil/ groundwork's then onto demolition and when everything went quiet went back to the quarries. I was on the books 5 years ago with Chepstow and when i came back went on with CS recruitment from Cardiff who supply them with drivers amongst others.
