I'll keep this as regular as possible. I seem to get into some pretty interesting and rare/random heavy construction jobs, so I'll keep updates as often as possible.
For now some artsy stuff.
My apologies in advance because facebook rapes quality.




First night when the machine was 4 hours old and working in the dark.

I took to long to edit
So


*EDIT

[Bleed Green]

what kind of company are you working for? Is it a big earth-moving company, or road building, I guess what kind of stuff do you do?

[bobcatuser]

That site looks like Fraser Hwy. at 176 st. I drove past yesterday morning and saw a spider hoe parked there. Is that where you were working?

[Gravel Rat]

It has to be somewhere in B.C. the lowbed has a B.C. license plate and its a West coast set up lowbed.

Looks like easy digging no blasting required :laugh:

[Shadetree Ltd]

That is exactly the location, I saw the spider hoe today. JS Ferguson?

[Junior M]

That western star is sharp.. :cool2:

[hvy 1ton]

I must be uncultured, never seen a single axle jeep before. I guess it keep you from needing a triaxle tractor, but wheres the fun in that.

[bobcat_ron]

I drove through there 3 weeks ago, after I got lost, wicked cool, more local people on this site.

[DirtMerchant]

The Kaiser Spider is the foremans it's pretty neat. It did a bunch of work on the sea to sky, really versatile machine.

The Western is really dope

Yes it's at Fraser Highway and 176, JS Ferguson site.


Gravel Rat, we will be starting demo on the old bridge soon. Who knows.
We did discover an underground river in our digging and pumice placing.


And Bleed green we do everything and anything. Road building, Earth Moving, Demolition, Site prep.

I'm praying we don't do any more civil after this but I'll stick with whatever pays the bills.

It's only a 624K and Triaxle tractors aren't reallly needed down here. To many tight spots.

[Gravel Rat]

Here in B.C. we are not allowed to run a drop axle but we can run a tridrive ie 3 drive axles but no drop tag.

That is a regular detachable gooseneck bed with a jeep you can add a booster to it on the rear.

Keep in mind a propertly set up lowbed we can gross 63,500kgs or 139,992 lbs no permits that is legal gross anywhere in B.C.
