Excavator bucket-scoots out-of-gas hauler down the road while still on the trailer

On the jobsite, dozers come in handy every once in a while to give stuck or out-of-fuel equipment a push. But excavators? Not so much. Apparently no one told this guy that. We’ve all been there. Out of gas on the highway. But not many of us had an excavator in tow. And if we […]

Watch this Caterpillar D11T annihilate an old pickup truck because of hockey

Gotta love Canada. As you’ll see in their half-hearted play before the good stuff actually begins, this particular group of Canucks was heartbroken that the start of hockey season had been delayed.

No. 9 Video in 2014 « NO. 10 NO. 8 »   At the beginning of the video below, we hear the guy behind the camera mention that he and his crew are already down a rock truck and an excavator. (For what it’s worth, it appears they were making repairs to the excavator’s bucket.) […]

Ford LTL semi truck jumps more than 100 feet through the air

Can’t help but just smile at this one. When the video starts, it doesn’t seem like driver Ash Nichols has gotten enough speed behind this Ford LTL.
