Excavator Tower Climbing Stunt

Posted by Alex in Car & Vehicle, Pictures on November 15, 2008 at 6:58 pm


Our pal Dark Roasted Blend dug up these photos of a hydraulic excavator climbing a tower. Supposedly, it’s a publicity stunt by Lebherr hydraulics, to show off the strength of their machines.

    I don't think I'd want to be the first one to try it.

    It certainly shows off the strength of the tower.

    Is it me, or does the tower look like it's made of Lego?

    I remember this as a bet on "Wetten, dass..?". A contestant built this (or a very similar looking) rig and climbed it with his excavator. Was about 8 years ago.

    Now! that's a sight to behold!
    I'd, actually, enjoy being the little dude hanging with the excavator off the tower - could you emagine the addrenaline rush...!?
    Coming down would be just as technical as climing up. These pictures look as "real life" playing. Talk about grown-up kids!
