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, […]

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 […]

Wheel loader rescues excavator buried cab-deep in mud using cables, bucket lift

In most “stuck videos” that we’ve seen, when a machine gets in trouble, an excavator comes to the rescue. But what if it’s your excavator that’s stuck?  Typically, you bring in the dozer and pull the sucker out. But in the case of this crew, only a wheel loader was available. And with how stuck […]

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 […]
