First Square Equipment is proud to announce that we have agreed the supply of 40m and 30m teledippers, on operated hire to leading UK contractor Careys PLC, to work at the prestigious Woodsmith Mine site in Whitby, North Yorkshire

We are pleased to have supplied a leading UK contractor with a 25m teledipper to fit their Doosan DX340 - the complete rig went straight to work on a high profile job on A14 project, where it will work for 3 months before being sent to the Middle East to work on projects there
Profiled underslung additional counterweight was fitted, and two pin hanging clamshell with large diameter rotator was chosen by customer to be able to excavator underneath concrete shaft lining rings Watch this space for photos and video of the machine in action on various jobs In order to prepare the machine for fitting of a new 40m Kocurek teledipper due shortly from our Ipswich factory, this Liebherr 954 excavator has been fitted with 4t of additional counterweight
Due to Liebherr not using chassis rails, it was not possible to have an underslung counterweight slab, however the top hanging weight frame and weight stack are profiled to match the existing factory counterweight, so swing radius is only minimally increased, and the whole unit is easily removable if required The machine has also had a number of additional safety features fitted, such as a travel pedal lock, cab door interlock and reserve pump for the slide cab Watch this space for the 40m rig being installed and tested It will then be the largest and most advanced teledipper equipped excavator available anywhere in the world |
