Re: Bored at work... Cranedriver...



Have they done this just because they can or is it a way of getting an excavator on and off a building or something?

Took me a bit to work out how it was holding on when it was moving the boom!

I've seen that before and I think it's brilliant.
A very simple and easy way to get an excavator onto a building (for demolition) or up a very steep embankment.
No need for a crane..

Wow!

I'm guessing that you don't want to send a guy who's on his first week operating the machine to do that.

NEAT!

I've seen "Trials" for motorcycles, I guess thats "Trials" for excavators.

Re: Bored at work... Cranedriver...

That's a relatively "small" excavator(maybe as big as a Caterpillar 315 excavator, I've hauled these and bigger), but still....a novel way to get it to the elevated worksite!

Just better hope it doesn't pop a hydraulic line on the way up/down or lose a cylinder.

That is a relatively small track-hoe, but quite the ingenious method of moving it upwards. Wow.

Re: Bored at work... Cranedriver...

Heh...had to be somewhere other than the U.S.

DOT would be on them with an overweight ticket in the blink of an eye.

Cool vid, though.

Re: Bored at work... Cranedriver...

I hope they did that just cause they were bored - that's always the best reason to do anything
