What ever the operator of this track hoe gets paid, it is  not enough!

This tower was built to show off the physical power of the excavator.

I dont think LIEBHERR are british though I could be wrong about the type of excavator in the picture but it is in thier colours and style.
And could you see elf n safety letting that happen here in safekingdom?  {-) {-)

Hmmm....You could be right on all counts there CAT, I will retract my 'British' remark. Perhaps someone could truly identify the manufacturer for us, great stunt though!

Looking at the close proximity of the audience as well as other H&S issues.

Not in EU. So maybe done in Russia or in Asia.

Don't really know what make it is, I just used JCB as a generic term!
Can't remember where the photos came from, may have been an email....

Just done a web search, can't find the "JCB" in question but did find these.....  :o

I think JCB workers are on short time at the moment, lots of competition in construction equipment these days.

That is a CAT climbing the railcar can't see the model no. Whether its short for Caterpillar I can't remember think it is. Also looks like N. America by the r.r. sign.

On a similar thread has any one out there watched the team from H E SERVICES "dancing diggers" OH that company also hold the record for the fastest NON STOP drive from John-O-Groats to Landsend in a JCB 3CX.   they have a bobcat which is used to wheelie and a fleet of construction machinery that is used in their displays.

The loading shovel wheelie is done with the bucket full of steel and the counter weight made of fiberglass.

H.E. Services Is just down the industrial estate from me. At their entrance is a sign called Diggerland, where the kids can have a go on the machines.

Don't know if it is same company but see their lowloader on the roads often.

Thats them  :-)) I did a few months work for them during my leave periods. they used to be at the old cement works in Snodland (dont know if they are still there) after the non stop run the engine + most of the weight was removed from the white JCB 3CX and it was lifted onto a roof at that depot.
