Semi hauling a dozer jackknifes, sends dozer tumbling

Backing up can be difficult. Especially when you’re backing a semi down a slope with a bulldozer trailered. This particular driver gets moving a bit too fast down the slope, the trailer jackknifes and everyone’s week is pretty much ruined in a matter of seconds. Seems like he would have benefitted from Ford’s new whiz-bang […]

Crane crashes into bus, passengers jump from windows and scurry away

I really can’t decide what is more odd about this video. Is it the crane operator’s complete denial of reality as he takes that left turn with full knowledge that a bus is speeding through the intersection right before him? Or is it the way everyone inside the bus immediately begins leaping from the windows […]

Excavator demos building in 1 minute with some strategic shoving

As far as demolitions go, this about as quick as they get. While the size of the barn or stable here isn’t necessarily overwhelming, you can’t help but feel like maybe this small wheeled excavator is a bit outmatched. But this operator has a plan. You’ll notice he does no ripping, instead simply grabbing that second arch […]

Cat D10 dozer and a loader rescue stuck 70-ton dumper like it’s no big deal

No. 6 Video of 2015 « No. 7 No. 5 »   Due to the sheer power of the D10T, this rescue is one of the most uneventful we’ve seen yet. That 777D was in major trouble though, stuck in a very muddy spot on the roadside and with only single tires on the back (the […]

Squad of excavators chews up a bridge in 30-second demolition time-lapse

Time-lapse photography may have begun with capturing the movements of people and growing plants, but as it has matured, it’s a photographic technique that feels tailor-made for construction and demolition. There’s a universal wonder the technique taps into when seeing structures appear and disappear, seemingly out of thin air. And with cameras and methods becoming […]

Guy stuffs an excavator into a minivan for transport

Who needs a trailer to transport equipment when you’ve got a very old minivan? As the headline states, this guy does succeed in getting this excavator into that van. But it doesn’t really matter if I ruin the ending for you because as you watch, you won’t believe the inevitable even as it takes place. No matter […]

Bucking roller operator hangs on for dear life when dozer helps a bit too much

The ways people can make loading up a piece of heavy equipment much more dangerous than it has to be never cease to amaze. Much like last week, we’ve got a dozer shoving another piece of equipment in order to help load it up. But this week we’ve got a roller and a ramp up […]

Watch a 57-story skyscraper get built in just 19 days in this breakneck time-lapse

Remember Sky City? It was set to be the world’s tallest building, rising 220 stories and 2,750 feet above Changsha, China. But more importantly, the original goal was to build the massive skyscraper in just 90 days using pre-fabricated pieces. After pushing that back to the slightly more realistic seven months, construction on the building was […]

Crane collapses into water after dozer shoves it onto barge that doesn’t stay put

How this didn’t end in someone being very badly injured is a miracle. As you’ll see in the video below, this crew is loading a crane onto a barge by pushing it along with a dozer. Everything is fine until the barge starts moving—without the crane fully on board. The crane goes for a swim […]
