The importing of construction, mining and forestry equipment peaks in spring and the equipment is now arriving weekly from Europe. One of the well known manufacturers is Sandvik, makers of mining and construction equipment, based in Sweden.
Recently I spotted a Ranger series and a Panther series top hammer, rock drill at Pier 9C in Halifax. I managed to catch them when they had been loaded onto flatbeds and were on the road.
A pair of Peterbilts from Delway Enterprises in Miramichi, NB were hauling the rigs.
Due to my position and their speed, I wasn't able to get great shots of the Sandviks.
The Peterbilts, with low rise sleepers and straight pipes, looked more than capable of doing the job. The Petes were not identical - they had different bumpers, visors and headlights.
