Train Wreckers on the move..

Hi, Tim T.
So they've dunn it again. Another job successfully accomplished.

Thanks for sharing.

Just my 0.02.

very nice pics!! how heavy is a 583 and what is its lifting capacity? It appears they have an 8 part line on the lifting hook?

Great photos Tim! Thanks for sharing these! Awsome to see these Cats working at there limits.

Working weight of Winters 583H's&K's are about 100,000 lbs. They will lift a maximum of 100 tons set up the way we use them. But its got to be boom straight up and tight to the machine, with an extra "suitcase" weight added to the center of the counterweight frame.The lift blocks are 8 part, and they are load blocks from a 594G or H..the biggest Cat made in a low drive pipelayer.

Did I read this right?
Hamilton CA (California?) to Central PA (Pennsylvania)
Or is CA meaning Canada?

wow great stuff thanks for sharing with us. i love them pic's someday i would love to have a 583 rig for wreck work. only thing is not meany trans go off the track in the prairies. your 583 are rigged for 100 tons or 100,000 lb . if it's 100 tons that's way cool. more bang for your buck than i thought i knew they would lift but that's a lot to pic and walk away with. i don't think side booms get as much love as they deserve.
