Popular Post philatruck Posted July 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2016 They have 3 laydown yards off of Torresdale ave (one did used to be an asphalt plant) where they store different materials and objects for different jobs. They have a sandblasting and painting operation at the end of Pennypack street where they repaint and store parts for their asphalt plants, and quarries. The B-61 is used to move stuff around as well as the R Model. They also have some other trucks, and equipment floating around there where needed. They also have another B-61 like this at their Milford quarry, attached is a pic of it from google maps street view as it was next to I-84 Pics from 2010. I had them on the previous pages but when I switched over from Photobucket to Flickr, the links became dead, and I never fixed them. 4 Quote -Mike Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27737-the-philly-construction-thread/page/24/#findComment-340074 Share on other sites More sharing options...

philatruck Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I don't think I ever seen that one DDD,but yet again Tri-Axle RD's are quite common around here. Could be Nello Construction, or Molly Construction, they both have red trucks. I hope your trip was fun in Philly, and you happen to check out all of the construction going on in the city.

AEL Contractors. I always enjoy my time in Philly. The Reading Terminal Market left me too full to do any serious exploring.

philatruck Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Got ya DDD, next time you are in Philly, message me, and I will let you know of any big construction sites to check out. Like I said lots of work going on in the city. Mike D, I think the smallest crane JDM has at their yard is a Link-Belt LS58, you can see it in the background of some of my pics with the cab door open. I always thought they had Larger B & E cranes, but they do use smaller cranes at their quarries as "Skull-Crackers". They use a weight to crush rocks so they can be picked up with a loader. Most of these types of cranes are parked. The only older cranes they use are Draglines at their sand pits.

xdudebrahx Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 AEL is just a single truck. Always see him working with small contractors building houses in and around the city. Next time you're around philly, check out the 95 widening project from 676 all the way up to Cottman Ave. Plenty of Mack action. Coolest thing you'll see from the company I work for is our 77 R wearing original paint and pinstripes pulling trailers of rebar to the cranes. I have our Superliner and the boom truck down at the airport on site. I put so much wax on them but they're getting coated in dust and bird crap 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27737-the-philly-construction-thread/page/24/#findComment-349416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

philatruck Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 2 of A.P.'s DM885 are on the auction block. I think they have about 2 or 3 left now. I would guess they owned about 8-10 at one point. https://www.rbauction.com/1973-MACK-DM885SX?invId=10046138&id=ci&auction=NORTH-EAST-MD-2017186 https://www.rbauction.com/MACK-DM885SX?invId=10046134&id=ci&auction=NORTH-EAST-MD-2017186 Found these on Google Map Street view, 2 Quote -Mike Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27737-the-philly-construction-thread/page/24/#findComment-371498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP are working on the Philly airport with us right now. The last I saw those steel nose DMs, they were in a plow train pushing snow down broad street in south philly. Probably about 3 years ago now.
