well, thats one way to get the bird crap off

i cant believe how much it smashed that car. lol

 

destruction.... thats crazy

 

Lol, that car got messed up.

 

now thats a crane!

 

that was amazing. I wonder how big the bucket is.... thats gotta be aruond a 500 gallon bucket. what is water, 8 lbs per gallon? is it 8 or 5? oh well.

 

^ Weight of 1 US Gallon of water = approx. 8.35 lb

 

thats awesome... probably the biggest crane id ever seen

 

Dont mean to be an ***, but that is an excavator. And judging by the size of the car and the bucket, that bucket easily hold about a thousand gallons. Though I doubt that was how much water it dumped. Freakin sweet!!!

 

lol dodge it.. not to be an **** but... awsome. I looked it up... so here are some true specs...

The new Liebherr mining excavator: driven by two 1,492 kW/2,000 PS 16-cylinder V-engines, the Liebherr R 9800 boasts a 42 m³ bucket capacity. In conjunction with rapid loading cycles and tremendous ripper and breakout forces, the R 9800 offers high loading capacity and is the perfect loader for 220-t, 290-t and 360-t mining trucks.

It claims that the shovel capacity is 54.9 yds @ 3000 lbs/yd. Quick math tells me that it is capacity is somewhere around 164,700 lbs? yea, wow.
