I just bought myself a 580C, but I don't have any technical data on it. I'm currently trying to arrange transportation for it, and I'm being asked for an exact weight for the machine. The seller said it was a 12 ton machine, but that's not specific enough for them. It's located 193 km away, so I don't wanna drive up there to read what it says on the machine either.
The problem is that the place it is located has a very steep, winding narrow road (12% gradient), so I'm not sure it's possible to get there with a semi-trailer especially now in the winter time with snow and ice on the road surface. That means I have to try to find a truck that can carry it, and that seems to be a bit tricky. Can anyone give me a specific weight for the 580c including digger arm, bucket and "operating fluids"?
edit: Here are Google Street view of the road - it doesn't look any bit as scary on the pictures as when I drove there, so maybe I'm worrying too much... maybe some of you guys can help me judge that: https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!data=!1m8!1m3!1d3!2d7.996025!3d59.439439!2m2!1f121.25!2f84.72!4f75!2m9!1e1!2m4!1sEXP-WvPoM8hm8s9ZaczcaQ!2e0!9m1!6sSkafs%C3%A5vegen!5m2!1sEXP-WvPoM8hm8s9ZaczcaQ!2e0&fid=5
