Next time you're sure you're doing it right...

We work in industrial plants and if the item your working on is low there may not be a place to tie off except at the roof. I would rather bounce from 6' than 26' while getting tied off.

First, thank you for reminding me about the cartopper backhoes. I just happened to see one in town recently. So, what's a machinery nut to do but race home and grab up a camera? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I managed to get some decent close ups of the custom bits. I couldn't get really close as it was on top of a rail car at the time and I didn't want to trespass. Turns out I had some good timing as it was gone later that evening. I told a friend about it and it was gone when he went looking.
Anyway, enjoy...

Thanks for the extra photos. This is a truely astonishing machine. I find I really like machines that are purpose built. It gives them an extra charisma that generic machines just don't get.

Funy enough.. I've seen more people hurt simple falling down from a standing position.. than from falling 10' .. go figure. A friends husband fell in his kitchen and broke his leg.. the big bone too.. how about that for unlucky...
