This kid digging a trench with a giant RC excavator will make you question your childhood happiness

No. 8 Video of 2015 « No. 9 No. 7 »   Most kids have chores. Sometimes that involves yard work. Raking leaves, mowing the lawn. But digging a trench? God bless the poor kid who has to do that for a measly $10 allowance. Unless you’re this kid. Then it’s no big deal at […]

Excavator’s thread-like cable snaps, tanker truck in tow goes careening off muddy hillside

To be sure, this hill’s sloppy terrain presents a formidable challenge. This tanker needs to make it up the slope and his friend the excavator is lending a hand. The truck gets oh so close and the excavator gives one last tug to bring the truck home when the piece of floss being used to […]

According to a report from KOIN TV, Roberts was working and bent over a manhole in a small parking lot in […]

Backhoe takes bad bounce after being uprighted, is swallowed by jungle

Things were going so well for this crew. After managing to bring this overturned backhoe back onto its wheels, something happens that they did not anticipate. Apparently not accounting for the steep slope bordering this road, the truck being used to pull the backhoe up, gives it a good last yank which causes the backhoe […]

Excavator attempts a crane’s job, faceplants into a hole

We’re not really sure what was going through this crew’s mind when they thought this massive piece of rock could be hoisted by an excavator. Too many laws of physics are working against them. The weight of the rock. The length of that cable. The incline the excavator is sitting on. There’s plenty more wrong […]

Excavator unravels a silo into a crumbled heap with a single yank of cable

Even though there was probably a good deal of work leading up to the moment the video below captures, it’s still cool to see something very big fall down with seemingly little effort. In the case of this demolition, it looks like a cable is hooked up to the doomed silo and with one tug, […]

Crane tips over in work zone, drops roller on top of a car

According to recently released data, the most dangerous work zones in the U.S. are in Texas. However, to Texas’ credit, at least rollers aren’t falling from the sky in the Lone Star state. It’s unclear exactly where in the world this video takes place but if you ever see this crew and this bright green […]

High-rise drops but won’t fall after 2 giant blasts to core in failed demolition

After officials deemed the construction process of a 16-story building in the Crimean city of Sevastopol to be “flawed earlier” this year, the building was ordered to be demolished. But apparently, construction was at least good enough to withstand two massive explosive blasts to its core when it came time to bring it down. In the videos […]

Drunk guy in a wheel loader plows through parked cars; is swiftly brought to justice by angry mob

Before you watch the video below, 1) Yes, of course this video is from Russia and 2) some of the video is not exactly suitable for children as this guy takes a few punches. And while violence is never the answer, it’s a bit hard to judge this particular angry mob especially with how much […]

May this hopelessly buried excavator operator refusing to quit digging be your spirit animal in the New Year

Some might look at this video and say, “What’s this guy doing? He’s only making it worse.” And those people would be correct. However, those people are taking a decidedly glass-half-empty approach on life and as we embark on this New Year, there’s simply no time for that type of doom and gloom mindset. On the contrary, […]

Craneception? Crane lifts a crane lifting a crane, lifting a crane which is also lifting a crane

In one of the coolest machine demos we’ve ever seen, Liebherr chose to show off the capabilities of its crane lineup in 2012 with a stunt that looks as if it were inspired by the movie “Inception.” We start with an LTR 1100 lifting a scale model into the air, followed by an LR 1350 […]
