Unusual 320?

[Stock]

From the new bond movie I believe......................


As you will see the cab is on the wrong side,Ha me thinks the picture is flipper so with some software we did this..............



.......But the Cat logo on the boom is wrong...............................

Anyone ever seen one with the cab on the right hand side..................

I wonder if anyone has ever done a tallyup of just how many brands get placed in some of these films. The Bond genre were arguably the originators of this concept, but I fear its now getting to silly proportions

Would the be much hard work involved when making a digger to put the dipper on the other side?

[Stock]

well that what they have done have some other pictures which clearly show it has been modified.......................

Caterpillar prides itself on designing and building equipment to meet customers' needs. In this case, the customization involved something unique – putting the cab on the opposite side of the 320D L as requested by EON Productions, the James Bond production company.
"The cab switch, required for the location of the shoot and interaction between characters, took several months of pre-planning," said Robert Woodley, Caterpillar Communications Manager for Europe, Africa, Middle East and the CIS. "The biggest challenge involved changing the electronics and hydraulics to accommodate the cab on the other side of the machine. Ultimately, two 320D L excavators were produced in Caterpillar's Akashi, Japan, plant forSKYFALL. Cat dealers Finning UK and Borusan Makina were in on the action, too. Finning UK assisted the special effects (SFX) department in technical support and supply of parts for the excavators. At the site, Borusan Makina provided on-site expertise and services as well as equipment, such as generator sets, a skid steer loader and mini hydraulic excavator, for the shoot."

Not only walkways on the dipper but it has a very flimsy and easy to open roof!!

When i watched the movie, it became clear to me, the location meant they could only film from the one side. This was the point of view of someone driving alongside the railway. Won't say anymore so as not to give away the plot.
