Recently published, David Wylie shared with us a copy of his latest book, Earthmovers in UK & Germany, which provides an inside look into the mining, quarry, demolition, and renewables industry in these countries. With two chapters almost entirely dedicated to Caterpillar, including photos from a visit to the HMS facility in Dortmund, we couldn’t put the book down.
Here is a sneak peak with a few of our favorite images and pages from the book:
With more than 500 photos across 520 pages, and with 80 stunning images set across two big pages, this 82,000 word book provides an in-depth look at how these machines shape the world we live in. David’s new book deserves a place on any heavy equipment enthusiast’s coffee table.
If you are interested in purchasing this new book, you can only obtain it by contacting David Wylie directly – as it has been self-published – on his Facebook page, where updates and additional information can also be found or you can reach David directly by emailing him at david@earthmovingimages.com.
Definitely on my buying list.

Thank you very much
