Early CAD of Tonkin Replicas’ Cat Model 988k

This was the early (not final) CAD that shows you how will build the Cat model 988k. Each color represents a different part. We're sure that most know that CAD stands for Computer Aided Design. Using CAD rather than working from drawing we have reduced production time as any changes to the design we've created can be done much more quickly and efficiently.

Before I did any research into TR’s triple trailer legacy, I decided I needed to research the history of these mighty trailers. One the first things, I found out is triple trailers can stretch up to 105 feet in length.

Prototype of Tonkin Replicas’ 988K – The Initial “Rock” Star

At Tonkin Replicas we are playing with some heavy “rock” stars. The first act in our new Construction Line is the 988K. The 988K wheel loader prototype debuted at Bauma 2013 in Munich Germany. It was presented by our Regional Sales Director and generally all around Construction Line expert - Luc Lebel. We are focusing on the wheel loaders first to provide our distributors and resellers an unparalleled opportunity to have a replica of the working wheel loader launched at Bauma 2013.
