Popular Post coloradogreen Posted March 20, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2012 Duffy Crane & Hauling, a local heavy haul outfit, still operates this rig:Its a 1958 Mack LRSVW. Started life as a quarry dump-truck when Wieker bought the rig and converted it to heavy haul. Wieker was bought out by Duffy Crane & Hauling. The truck has Mack planetary axles, automatic transmission, and a 1,486 cubic inch, naturally aspirated, 800-horsepower Cummins V12. Under a heavy load it'll kick about 5 feet of flame out of the stacks.Here's the "little" trailer it pulls:The little trailer is a 200-ton, with the big trailer (you can see the end of it in the top-right corner of the photo) the truck has grossed over 1-million pounds. An impressive unit.Troy. 3 Quote IMAGES COPYRIGHT TROY MILLER/ 10-4 MAGAZINE10-4 Magazine - For Today's Trucker!Photography is a Beautiful Thing...Contributor - 10-4 MagazineI'm Not Fearless, I'm Just Stupid.

james j neiweem Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The Titan will never be what Mack heavy haul was in the past(LRS/M) for that matter it will never be(thanks to Volvo)what KW/Hayes is today. KW has that market sowed up to bad. Mack owned Hayes at one time but couldn't make it go. It would be nice if Volvo Mack bought the remanents of Pacific truck in Canada. They still do rebuilds and restorations and have all of the original rights to Pacific parts and engineering drawings. I think they have some relationship with Mack as far as rebuilding older Canadian Mack heavy haul units and converting newer Mack's to twin steer for the Canadian market. I guess the best Mack can hope for is competeing with Western Star for the light heavy haul market.
