Great idea I just don’t understand the point of”THE CRAIN CARRIER” underneath the belt? Where are you going to drive it? Impressive anyways!

They are merely re-designing an existing piece of equipment that is already in use on these MEGAPROJECTS : HUGE dams in the developing world.

Putzmeister bought the technology and rights from Rotec for the smaller Telebelts (Creter Cranes and Super Swingers) a number of years ago.  Perhaps the non-compete on these larger units has expired and they are making their move, or they bought the remainder of the Rotec company?  (pure speculation)

It's not used like a regular telebelt. (rental work)  It's used on MASSIVE concrete dam projects - Roller Compated Concrete (with 6" maximum size stone).   In places like India, China and Turkey, where they place thousands of cubic meters per day!!  Day after day after day.....  10 to 15 million cubic meters or more even.

Looks like this may be destined for Australia:  http://www.earthmover.com.au/new-equipment/2012/june/a-big-mover-but-not-a-shaker

By the way... 6'' max size stone Surprised Now thats what we call an ''unpumpable mix''   LOL

I heared that in some of these damms they don't use any rebar. Just very strong concrete..

This is the kind of pour these machines are designed for.  200' x 100' x 10' = 7,400 cu yards.  When this pour finished, they just moved to another location and started another.  Job runs shifts 24/7.

When we get used to 300 yard slab pours, these jobs are almost beyond comprehension.
