Photographed at West Canada Dock in Liverpool on Wednesday, a "flying" CAT 963 loader.
The machine is used to trim the loads of scrap in the holds.

Re: Scrap handling CAT 963
And this is how it looks in the hold of a ship.
This week in the port of Rotterdam.
About 22 ton of scrap.

Re: Scrap handling CAT 963
Outstanding photos Adrie, That does not look a nice or safe place to be working but very interesting, looks like there is hardly any visibility out of the cab windows and with all that dust about 
I like to see modified/custom machines working in unusual places, the 963 looks well beefed up to cope with the job conditions
Keep the pics comin

Re: Scrap handling CAT 963
Just an observation, the machine in the ship hold is not the one on the crane.

Yes the machine in the ship is actually a 973 - the largest Cat track loader available

It's indeed a 973.
There are two of them on the yard of EMR Rotterdam.
This Photo is unfortunately a bit vague, but this is the other.
