How strong is your tower?
« on: December 22, 2009, 02:09:38 PM »
I guess the company wanted to show the power of their excavator.

















Does the operator deserve a pay raise?

Trick photography...in the last shot the human are only about an inch tall..:)


I believe it is full scale, can't image the cost to build the tower and the ledges for tracks to rest on.


I wonder if the guys were a last minute add on by their insurance company LOL

Great jumpin Jehosphat! That operator must clank when he walks! I'll bet they changed out the hoses with the highest rated ones available, all it would take is on hose failure for the operators day to get really bad really quick.

Hey Mick,


  I'm watching it on wind power and even if my batteries were low and charging from the grid @.21 a kwh this is completely worth the cost of admission for me to see this. (less than 1/2 of one cent) Amazing, thanks to the original poster for putting this up to share.

Well Mick,

I'm from West Virginia,USA. The standing joke is we're 10 years behind the times, so, if it's only a couple years old, I'm gaining ground! :-)

What has a thousand legs and only one tooth?

A West Virginia welfare line. Ha Ha Ha

Happy Holidays

Bonz
