What happens here

With the spreader bar attached to the excavator, the large pool shell is carefully lifted off the delivery trailer. The trailer then pulls away, clearing the path. The excavator maneuvers the massive pool shell over the yard, navigating around obstacles such as trees and a portable toilet. The goal is to transport the pool from the street to the previously excavated hole in the backyard. This requires precise control of the excavator and coordination with ground crew using guide ropes.

Goal: Move the pool from the trailer to the backyard excavation site
