I remember when I was a kid my dad who rarely bought me toys got me a remote controlled skyscraper crane, yellow, just like this truck, and boy, I’ll tell ya, it was the happiest day of my childhood life.
Something about knowing that I can lift things, spin the arm, and gently bring it down somewhere else was such a fulfilling feelin.
This is incredible engineering and I can’t imagine the mind who thought of even how to build something this huge.
Absolutely amazing!I interned at a lignite mine back in 2013. I thought the coolest but about the CAT 777’s we were running was the actual ignition-startup process, i.e. pre-lube.
Pneumatic starters that sounded like the a jet engine winding up really fast, followed by what sounded like a small explosion. The split second after the explosion noise dissipated, you hear the gurgurgurs of sweet idle.
I went to the 2004 min expo, what an amazing experience, I would recommend it to all fans of big equipment, nothing like this stuff here in S Wales,in G.B.
