    Emil, I wonder things like that, too. In the post, there’s a picture of a steam shovel up on top of a chimney that was lifted up by a huge crane. So I’d imagine the big equipment is moved by even bigger equipment!

    Yes, they use much bigger equipment to move the smaller stuff. I’ve seen an excavator used to flip a dump druck upright after a load shift rolled it, and i’ve seen cranes used to keep small equipment in the air at night, presumably as a theft deterrent.

    Ah, entropy. Sort of. But Irony, in the one with the dumptruck almost completely buried by dirt, makes me wonder how big the loader was!
