VIDEO: Water, water everywhere…and one excavator to spare

November 1, 2016
Some people should never be allowed behind controls of an excavator, especially if there is water nearby.

What is it about water that attracts certain people? Perhaps, if you are an excavator operator, it is the challenge of, say, trying to float? Or maybe it’s the skill required to manoeuvre the machine and yourself out of a quagmire?

At the least, an operator loses their machine. At worst, they lose two machines – theirs and another one that came to the rescue, and whose operator should also have known better.
