30 ton Wheelie

Today on my jobsite a concrete pumper was doing a standing 3 foot wheelie!...and you thought your 3-wheel action was rad, try pulling 6 wheels! Woot!:D

DAMN! thats nuts. i remember when my dad worked for an oil company they would make their rigs pop wheelies when they tried to pick up the oil rigs

Holy Hydraulics Batman!

Pretty amazing the things you can do with heavy equipment

Yeah...you could stand inside the cylinder for the boom. It is like 50" in diameter. We have some really big equipment on this job. It is probably one of the most dangerous constrution jobs around. There are three tower cranes, one 1200 series track mounted crane and usually three pump trucks on the site every day. That is in addition to the normal earth moving equipment you might see. Dump trucks, excavators and the biggest backhoe I have ever seen, are here too. I geek out about it everyday. Just like a kid at Christmas!

There are a lot of minitruckes that still wouldn't fit!

what size is that? 72 meter is the biggest iv seen

We are building a new water treatment plant.

I couldn't tell ya. I know its big though. The truck is over 60' long, so may
be 72 meters is about the same when the boom is extended? I am an electrician by trade and on this job, the project manager.
