Yeah, no need for a monster that size to change a 1000 lb tire, must be re-purposed from something else...

Like when weird Aunt Lily says give auntie a big squeeze for the millionth time.;)

Trying to figure out what that is, I came across demolition robots.

It's just a giant front end loader. There are myriad attachments/tools for those things. Scoops, buckets, forks, cable spoolers/unspoolers...tire changers.

My cousin won a skills competition as a kid. I believe they attached a spoon to an excavator and he picked up and placed an egg with it. That boy can run anything.

Showed some guys the old pick-up-the-dime/quarter-with-the-forklift trick. They hadn't seen or heard about it, and were fairly impressed.

smooth operating

It's a real good idea to unhook the container from your truck before the crane grabs it.

I'm always amazed at how strong those hitch pins (?) are.

No, it's not that, it's for cracking open boiled egg shells...

Looks gruesome.

Looks shrinksome to me!
