Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 11:59AM How big is big? The Piggy-Packer's front wheel diameter is about 7-ft in diameter. In relations to the MiJack straddle cranes, the Piggy-Packer looks like a mere toy.
Happy Thanksgiving! from Wheels of Time

Get on-board by this Thursday, so you can be in the driver's seat!
This is a view of from the operator's cab of a B&M PC-90 Piggy-Packer. The PC-90's had air actuated controls over hydraulics. So they made a really neat air sound
in operating the lift. The newer MJ 9090 (MiJack) had all electrically operated controls to actuated the hydraulics.

Here a photo where the operator accidently dropped a trailer sent by Scott Mikeal (Norfolk Southern trainer on the PC-90 Piggy-Packers, Mi Jacks and other loading equipment). Perhaps there is a reason for the cab to be at mid-ship like on the PC-90s instead like this Hyster equipment. . . because accidents do happen from time to time.
Monday, September 19, 2011 at 09:51PM Here are some PC-90 Piggy-Packers in action at Erie Lackawanna's 51St. Yard in Chicago just after the arrival of UPS hot train CX 99 from Croxton, N.J. Notice the UPS Diamond Rio tractor and UPS exterior post van. They come photo courtesy from Paul Tupaczewski and Paul Brezicki.
Enjoy.
