it's very bizzare thing, it has design of those giant quarry diggers yet it doesn't seem to be that big

There's definitely enough visible to make an ID, but I'm coming up empty.

Some kind of log loader.

It's in a salvage yard, a popular location for films in the post-apocalyptic genre. It's not a log loader; it's a scrap handler. The attachment is for cutting and moving scrap metal.

I think you found the exact machine. I think this scene was filmed at El Mirage, California.

On the Flickr image you can see an R on the bottom rear, probably for Liebherr. :think:

Last 2 letters look like RR and font looks more like the Liebherr.

here is what Robert Vannatta the log loader said which kind of explains why there is nothing on it


Quote There is really no way to tel what brand it is. The reason is that everything you can see is 'aftermarket'.

It is common for junkyards to buy worn out log loaders, and replace the last part of the boom with a claw as shown here and my
guess in its younger life this machine WAS a log loader.

The reason you can't tell what brand is as follows:
1) the undercarraige has been modified to be a 'hiwalker' with 18" of ground clearance, and the main body has been elevated
accordingly. 1 link has been added to the tracks and the 2 carrier rollers elevated to make more room for mud to sit on top
the track frame. The tracks are also typically wider than with an excavator, and as you can see extra counterweights
added.
2) steel guarding is added all over the sheet metal house so you can't see what the original profile was, and the machine
is painted.
3) The dogleg boom of an execavator (for reaching deep in the ditch) is replaced with a straight aftermarket boom which will reach higher,
but not into a ditch.

My guess is a Liebher and here is my reasoning:

1) The particular style of after market boom is familar to me and was popular in the 1970's.
2) Looking at the size of the hydraulic hoses (fairly small), I'm inclined to believe that the
system is a high pressure hydraulic system (4000 PSI etc). Most of the american designs of that vintage
were converted mechanical shovel bodies and physically much larger.
3) Liebher was a market leader in high pressure systems, and most american designs of the 1970's were low pressure systems
(1000 PSI) that required larger hoses, and the Japanese wave of execavators didn't hit the US shores intil the 1980's.

so we have his account collaborating with the fact that we see 2 RR on the rear of machine and we can list this as a LIEBHERR !! heavely customized...
