I saw this early thanks to a Hitachi HRD wich was Boxed in by a load of Coopers of Cannock trucks so I could'nt take photos of it, but this was out side on a king lowloader.

Volvo EC 290 CL

Those EC290CL's are an awesome piece of kit. I was talking to a guy who operates one for Collins earthworks and he says its one of the best machines he's been on. I had a sneaky look round it after he'd gone home and they are a nice bit of kit!
Wouldnt mind getting some time in the seat of some volvo kit.

nice shot!It`s a nice 360`s!

brave man leaving those chains and turnbuckles on it

Nice pics there Jack

I'm surprised that you don't take a few of the kit in Finning's yard, I went over to help a mate out at Featherstone this week and as we passed there I noticed there was some decent kit in there.
Also there is a site next door where there are some Hitachi machines at work.
I had to go to the B&Q at Bridtown with me mate and as we were coming out there was a TDR Scania lowloader coming out of Finning with a brand new Cat 385 face shovel on it, I was miffed to say the least would of made a crackin shot too but for once I had no camera on me and the timing was also just out but never mind though eh there's always the next time.

Thanks Jeremny

We try and stop in the layby along side finnings, Check the companies section out.

Were going " A ride " later so Ill see where we go....Birmingham please

Today I went for a flight in my mates fixed wing microlight aircraft which is at Otherton near to Penkridge, just outside the airfield was this rather "beat up" Cat excavator with a Chase Demolition sign on it.
I think this is either a 320 or 325? sure someone will know the exact model, apart from the missing panel it also had the rear cab window bodged up and the lower front window wiper crushed against the screen.

Nice Pictures I Just realised they owned by coopers of cannock and have a smallish Hitachi HRD machine crushers and some other plant round the corner from ABA Crane hires Yard in Bloxwich
