“Based on the success of this highly sought after toy, CCM created a Pipelayer kit to allow collectors the opportunity to make this great toy even better.
Designed to look as though this it could have rolled off the factory line along side the originals, this kit comes with everything needed to make your Doepke D6 into a fully functioning sideboom pipe laying toy.
With a 14 inch long boom and fabricated steel assembly, features include dual hand crank winches with thumb brakes - just like the original Doepke UNIT crane - boom suspension with three-part line, a custom two-part line load block and brass sheaves. Completing the kit is a solid cast resin “stacked plate” counterweight, complete assembly hardware, rigging and detailed assembly instructions. We have taken care of all the details to make sure you can have all of the fun.” CCM

Custom Heiliner Scraper & Euclid Bottom Dump
Published February 24, 2008 Uncategorized 2 CommentsTags: Bottom Dump, Doepke, Euclid, Heilner, Scraper
The front of a Heiliner Scraper, Engine from a Marx Toy, and the rear section from a Euclid Bottom Dump have joined together to create a really cool version of this nice toy. If anyone has a clearer picture please send!

Notice the details like the exhaust, sun canopy, and engine
This is to be pulled by a Doepke Cat Bulldozer. Very Interesting. To whoever designed this and whoever owns it now; What a Great Machine. Details anyone?

Custom Unit Excavator - Green Shovel

Found this one on the internet years ago. If anyone has any details please share. What I do know is that it was built from a Unit 357.
Thank you CCM: The track mounted equivalent to the UNIT 357, whether used as a crane, hoe, or shovel, was designated as a UNIT 514. With the release of the CCM track assemblies, collectors were inspired to create toy machines of their own, like this scratch built UNIT cable hoe built from an original Doepke crane cab with a solid steel boom, equalizer and custom paint job with UNIT factory striping.

Interesting Quad Wheel Euclid Bottom Dump Setup. This custom version of what looks like a Euclid Bottom Dump tractor with the addition of a 5 wheel and the trailer from a Woolbridge with the addition of an extra set of wheels. Interesting restoration job and great quality with the custom exhaust on the tractor. I found this surfing the web in 2004 and thought I would share it with everyone.

Found this years ago and while looking through my image archive I found this photo. I believe this was referenced from CCM toys. Very interesting to see the difference between a Doepke Prototype and the actual production model in the 50’s

What a cool looking Unit Crane. This is a very rare production model from Doepke. Nothing ever came of it but thanks to CCM you can find out more. I found this on a website a few years back and posting it again so everyone can see.
