What's that machine normally for?

Looks like a picker upper to me.

My guess is it's dedicated to changing tires on big trucks, just like it appears to be doing there. How else are you going to manipulate those ridiculous things?

The things you could pick up with that...

glatt · 08-07-2018, 07:23 AM

I wanna see it pick up an egg. I bet it could, with a skilled driver.

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.

Its probably used for something besides mounting tires. Unless their drivers fuck up a lot. Then they would be in the unenjoyment line for sure.

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.

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

Moving an 187 ton steam turbine rotor through NY State...
