Aregger's 285 tonne Liebherr A-REX M9300. it's upper structure is based on a Liebherr R9150 and undercarriage a Liebherr R9200. Seen here working in Zurich, Switzerland #demolition #excavator #switzerland
There was a much “longer” Volvo unit used in my city a few years ago, but not this burly. The operator was truly outstanding!! Amazingly facile!! Rachael was the company. I had the best vantage point for most of my days of watching that I’ll probably ever experience! Having said that, I would watch something like these machines pick up, sort, tear, rip, shear, etc virtually anything at any time!! I really enjoy this stuff!!
I would totally love to operate this excavator for a day and see just how good i could actually get. I've ran equipment for the past 35 years and enjoy seeing how proficient I can get.
‘Beast’ is an astronomical understatement - that thing is a monster. I wonder how much fuel it uses, I’ve used machines one tenth the size that guzzled hundred of litres of diesel per day. Wow.
This is european style demolition. We have not enough room for explosive demolition. so these machines come in to do the job, nibbling down structures from the top down. I have seen machines with a longer boom, extending upto 50 meters in lengths.
That a thing of beauty , but what is the purpose of the additional linkage point between the mid boom and the dipper is it just to give an additional pivot point to give a optional range of motion ?
According to the spec for the A-REX M9300. Each track unit alone is 10mtrs long, 2mtrs high and weigh 42 tons. Maximum operating weight is 300 tons depending on the equipment set up, boom and dipper configuration etc.
Seriously !!?? Even a small little tractor, or backhoe with a bucket could've scooped, or pushed all that crap out in a quarter of the time... Nothing amazing here at all, except a painfully slow process, and a big excavator, with way too small grippers to effectively grab a big load each time... it's like watching an adult man with hands the size of a newborn baby, trying to pick up things...
