Construction Equipment

I haven't found a similar thread; so this is it.
Post your photos of construction machinery and equipment; anything - excavators, loaders, cranes, whatever.

We have everything in Oz.
We just don't have everything in Wangaratta!
For big concrete jobs, with big concreting teams, a pumper would be brought in: for my church with a team of only three concreters laying the slab in three sections, a crane and concrete kibble were ample.

I used to work for a number of councils (desk jobs); my best(?) friend always wondered where we kept the shovels.

Crane and Extension
They extended the height of this crane by probably 50%, and now I see how they did it!

Amazing bit of engineering how those cranes are self erecting and self deconstructing, isn’t it?
