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 […]

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.

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 […]

Motor grader tries to cross violent river, gets swept downstream and nearly buried instead

Just a few weeks ago we saw a motor grader courageously cross a river using a rope bridge with a less-than-trustworthy appearance. Today, we’ve got footage of another brave grader operator with a swift river to cross. But this time, there’s a distinct lack of bridge. The operator judges that it’s probably shallow enough to […]
