 Specifications
Hot Line Construction Equipment
Guide provides pertinent specifications on most
makes and models of heavy construction equipment.
The models listed are primarily operator-mounted
or controlled. Equipment is listed under its original
brand name. Refer to the cross-reference index to
find the current manufacturers name.
The
specifications provided are intended as a guideline
to determine machine class, size, and capacity.

capacity ratings.
Information
provided in this section was obtained directly
from the manufacturer whenever possible. In cases
that the manufacturers are unwilling or unable
to provide that information, it was derived through
industry research. Hot Line Construction Equipment
Guide will not be held responsible for errors,
inconsistencies or misuse of the information herein.
Serial
Numbers
The primary purpose of a serial number is to give
a specific unit its own identification. No two
pieces of equipment are numbered the same, thus
providing the equipment owner a means of identification
and proof of ownership.
Serial
numbers may also provide useful information about
the equipment. Some manufacturers attach a prefix
or series designation to the serial number, indicating
perhaps geographic origin or special features
of the equipment.
Finally,
serial numbers can be used to identify the age
of the equipment. The methods of numbering the
units vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Some assign numbers according to the year the
equipment was actually built; others assign numbers
when the finished equipment is shipped out of
the plant.
Serial
numbers published in Hot Line Construction Equipment
Guide are obtained directly from the manufacturer
whenever possible. In cases that the manufacturer
is unwilling or unable to give that information,
the numbers are derived from industry research.
