Once a month, we invite you to take a look at what’s going on at H&R and to see what happened last month from the small celebrations we had to the big projects we completed. Ever wanted to get an inside look at H&R? This is your chance. These are our Big Shots from March.

This Komatsu PC450LC-8 excavator will be fully dismantled by the time you read this. And its parts (like its boom) will be off to inspection.
Speaking of that boom, it’s already made its way outside. It’s mud season in Buffalo, but in no time it’ll be lifted and moved to a better spot for storage. “But how did a big, heavy boom like this make it off the machine, through a Teardown bay, and out the doors?” you ask. Great question, keep scrolling.
In Buffalo, large bridge cranes get the call when the heaviest parts have to be moved off a machine and out the doors. Swinging, shifting, and perfectly placing even the heaviest parts is a lot simpler with these heavy-duty cranes. » Click video to play/pause animation.
This reassembled track spring adjuster came out looking great — and surely working great, too. You can see the reassemble process in an earlier post.
Ever want to drive a zamboni machine? But instead of on a hockey rink you get to drive in a warehouse? And instead of polishing ice you get to sweep up dust and debris? We know you do.
Speaking of machines we’d all like to take for a little spin around the yard. We know what this roller will do to asphalt, the question is what it will do to that printer in the office that keeps beeping and showing cryptic error codes.
Fresh from a salvaged machine and with its cover off, the salvage team is taking an early look at the condition of the internal parts of this final drive.
CONEXPO 2023 came and went and we were there! If you stopped by our booth, checked out our displays, and met some of the team, we’re glad you did and we can’t wait to talk to you again.
If you did stop by our CONEXPO booth, hopefully you also had a minute to see our video display. We had some serious ones that talked about our company and our products … and some less serious ones. If you missed this one, you can see it on our YouTube.
There’s people who laugh at their own jokes, people who don’t laugh at their jokes, and people who laugh at their own jokes and then repost them in a monthly photo recap. This was another one from CONEXPO — a fake weather report with our products instead of days of the week. » Click video to play/pause animation.
