The Time my Truck Driver Tried to run an Excavator.....at the wrong time

What happens here

This step focuses on the meticulous removal of a free-standing brick wall located immediately adjacent to a delicate sidewalk. An initial attempt highlights the challenges of such a task, where any misstep could lead to damage. The successful execution involves carefully lifting the entire brick wall segment vertically and placing it in a designated containment area, showcasing the excavator's fine control. This segment emphasizes the need for surgical precision and skilled operation to prevent collateral damage to surrounding infrastructure, and how operator ingenuity can compensate for the absence of specialized attachments like a hydraulic thumb.

Goal: Safely and precisely remove a brick wall without damaging the adjacent sidewalk, relying on operator skill.

Tools and materials

  • Sidewalk N/A — The sensitive surface to be protected
  • Volvo EW60E Wheeled Excavator Volvo — Lifting and moving the brick wall
  • Brick Wall Segment N/A — The structure being removed

What they say

bed of the dump truck. So, John, our truck driver, wanted to give the machine a test run, but he jumped into the cab at the wrong time. You see, we had to remove this wall and it was right next to a sidewalk that if we damaged it, we would end up buying it. Let's see how he does. So, Tim, we're going to try to lift that wall out with surgical precision because if we just push it, it'll crack the sidewalk. Think he can do it? Think think the truck driver can do it? I don't know. Maybe it's not a truck driver type situation. You don't think so? What do you think? Bets. Bet on. On or off. Hurry up. He's moving. Bet on or off. I think he can do it. NO. OH. OH. OH. He doesn't want to do it. He doesn't want to give it up. He doesn't want to give it up. John doesn't want to give it up. He's being stubborn. He wants to do it. He wants to do it. You can do it, John. You can do it, John. [Music] gets the the look of consternation on his face. It's got to go up and straight into the white pit behind it. It can't go forward. It can't go sideways. It's going to fall down. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Call him right now. He's like Oh, it's going THE WRONG WAY, JACK. It's going. That's not the way we WANT IT TO GO. GOING JOHN. GOT TO CONCENTRATE UP. HEY, JOHN, you're on camera. No pressure. WHAT'S GOING ON, JOHN? NO PRESSURE, JOHN. OH, he's See that? He's got that totally wrong. Well, that might just go that way now, but it feels like crackhead. Say it again. Say it again. Said, "Do you want Danny to do it?" That's not work. Oh, that's funny. So, so what do you think about the fact that I'm going to name a title, what happens when you put a truck driver in an excavator? It's a new excavator, so I'm being gentle. Ah, what do you mean? You You treat my other ones worse. Just I know I'm better. Uh-huh. I've seen them. That was That was a very good politically correct answer. Oh, look at look at Tim's got to get exactly positioned right. Oh, look at him. Look at him. Look at him. Now, remember, I loosened this. So, so Timmy's getting a a well loosened uh thing. Great. So you you've already messed it up. So if it breaks, it's your fault then, right? Oh, no. No. It's just All right. It's got to go. [Music] Nothing. Sidewalk damage. Oh, Sidewalk is fine. White sidewalk. We did spill. Now, I know for some of you excavating purists out there, the first thing you're probably screaming at your computer right now is, "You need a thumb for that machine." And yeah, you know what? You're…
