Can excavators climb? This video proves that they can. Watch a 19,480 kg (4,2946 lb) Caterpillar 319D LN hydraulic excavator climb onto a train rail car to unload crushed rock. It may be hard to picture until you see it happen, yet the vehicle operator makes it look pretty simple.
Watch this next: The Erie Steam Shovel Type B in action.
Bonus: Cranes lifting cranes lifting cranes.
Thanks, Tim Dierks.
