I've loaded our little 4 tonne excavator onto a semi without ramps. I used an embankment that made up half the height of the trailer though. I was crapping myself mind you but it did it very easily.

Can you imagine the stresses on that truck when it is up in the air like that

Not common in the mining industry anymore, even though it can be effective. Most mining companies now days would sack or ban you from the site immediately.

Operators become quite adept at walking the machine on and off using the hydraulic system as a load bearer or for push/pull ptopulsion. There is even a Norwegian make of tracked face shovel that does not have a drive system but pushes itself around the pit with the bucket and boom.

more importantly I want to see the OH+S risk assesment for that one...

Thats got to read like a joke sheet...Im not even looking hard and I can spot 10 big breaches in it...

For Poops and hilarity..

first person to name the 10 im thinking of (name more if you need to)

Gets a labour free service on me and any parts I have that I can use while doing the service (think 100k service here you pay for your oils and parts I dont have).

to give you all the first one...

The crane is set up too close to demolition work with a live load attached.

9 to go

10.The crane is set up too close to demolition work with a live load attached.
9. no exclusion zone
8.no catch system in place for falling debris
7. no support structure for tower
6.no containment for air bourne particals be it wet or dry system
5.no administration on tower
4. excavator operating while suspened in air
3. operator in plant while suspened in the air
2. mobile home at bottom of tower no persons are to be accomadated on a live demolishon site
1. .there are many breaches of the plant code of practice 2005 selecting of lifting gear
those are the ones i just saw quickly which ones did you come up with.it probarly impossible to pick the same ones you thought of because there is probarly about 50 breaches if you had to look really close at site????REGS1997 Part 2&3 S187.191-196

The assembled public throng cheered!.

its amazing what some operators can do with them.

At the dairy at the uni in wagga wagga they had one in cleaning out the sediment ponds. The operator, somewhat inexperienced hit the wrong leave and the excavator ended up in the dam with only the front section out of the water, the engine etc was all below the water line. It sat there for 2 weeks until caterpillar could send mechanics from the US to repair it.
