The precursor to todays articulated trucks was the Athey T-Line. Others built trucks similar to them. Athey (Apcor) used Tractors from Caterpillar, Allis Chalmers, John Deere, Euclid, Terex, International Harvester, and Michigan. They mated these to dump boxes that they made. They made 3 types of dump boxes. They made the rear dump, the belly dump, and the side dump. They used both two and four wheeled tractors. Information on these has been difficult to obtain. From information that I have they produced these up until the early eighties. Athey (Apcor) produced quite a number of different products over their existence. Their early products were tracked pull wagons for the oil and timber industries along with work in the artic. They also produced force feed belt loaders, on and off highway dump bodies and trailers, various conveyor products (Kolman), Rock drilling products, forklifts, garbage truck bodies, vacuum sweepers, small tractor blade (the maintainer) and probably more. It seems that they were a major force in the heavy construction industry where in the later years their product offerings were down to their vacuum sweepers, maintainers, and force feed loaders before their bankruptcy in the first part of this decade. Athey was located in Chicago and apparently relocated to Raleigh, NC in the mid 60s.

I have two questions concerning Athey's T-Line. Did Athey sell off this part of their business? Second, does any body have any literature on the Athey PR-621 which is based on a Caterpillar 621? I would like to find out the load rating of the PR-621 and capacity both unheaped and heaped.

Thanks for your information in advance.

Thanks for the reply Bruce. One of my attached pdf files is of that exact same brochure that you provided a link on. I did however find a lot of interesting equipment on that site. To low of resolution to read much of the text. I did not find an Athey PR621 (Caterpillar 621 based) on that site. I do not understand the language. Are they selling this literature or just providing it for people to view? Anyway, I did a search on 'Athey' on their site and came up with 23 hits. And in just looking around I seen that they had some very interesting scrapers as well.

Still searching for my Athey PR621 Specs.

Thanks Bruce

Back in the later 1950s the dealer I worked for sold this coal strippings outfit here some DW21s with Athey Dump wagons behind them to haul over burden from the coal and dump it where coal had been taken out.One time a driver got too close to the hole and the tractor and wagon went tumbling down the hole really deep behind it.I can,t just remember but I think the operator jumped before it tumbled down in the deep hole.

Thanks alot QuAD. I have been looking for this information for a long time.😊

I have done the conversion for imperial measurements.

Athey PR621
Struck Capacity: 15.3 cubic meters/20 cubic yards
Heaped Capacity: 19 cubic meters/24.9 cubic yards
Payload: 30 metric tons/33.1 U.S. tons

This puts this machine in the range of a Caterpillar 735 and a Komatsu HM350-2.

Caterpillar 735
Struck Capacity: 14.7 cubic meters/19.2 cubic yards
Heaped Capacity: 19.7 cubic meters/27.3 cubic yards
Payload: 32.7 metric tons/36 U.S. Tons

Komatsu HM350-2
Struck Capacity: 14.6 cubic meters/19.1 cubic yards
Heaped Capacity: 19.8 cubic meters/25.9 cubic yards
Payload: 32.3 metric tons/35.6 U.S. Tons

QuAD Does that literature show additional specs on the other side such as turning radius. If someone does not show up on here with an english version of this literature I would like to pay you to make for me a high resolution scan of this to a pdf file. If someone has the english version this offer goes out to you.

Thanks a lot again.
Scotia

And by the way, I am an owner of one of these PR621s.

Bruce, I have 3 of the Athey PR631D models by Joal. They are fairly inexpensive compared to the price the PR621 commands.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
