What happens here

The video transitions to the Volvo A60H articulated hauler. The presenter describes its key feature: the ability for the truck to flex while keeping the cab stationary, ensuring operator safety in rollover situations. This hauler produces 603 horsepower and can carry 43 cubic yards or approximately 61 tons, reaching speeds of up to 34 mph. He points out the articulation unit which allows the back half to swing independently. He also mentions an onboard weighing system in both the articulated and rigid haulers that provides real-time feedback to maximize productivity and efficiency, and enhance operator safety.

Goal: Showcase the Volvo A60H articulated hauler and its safety features

now I wanted to get this filmed and I normally would have somebody help me filming but my wife hadn't made it into town yet so there was a few unique challenges all right guys next I want to actually do a little compare and contrast this is what's called an articulated holler in contrast to the rigid holler that we've seen earlier this mood is designed to flex keeping the cab stationary if there was ever an accident or a roll over the back half of the truck can completely roll over to the side keeping the operator safe and upright now this truck produces 630 horsepower and will ha 43 cubic yards or approximately 61 tons this truck of gold 34 miles an hour and you know what let's put talking let's start looking a little bit closer at exactly how this thing works so Global's made maintenance on this thing beautiful you can't see it right now again we're not allowed to flip these off we're not allowed to do anything with them the entire hood will open up 90 degrees and then the Grill itself so this part of the truck actually has a stepladder built into it so that will rotate down and you can crawl right up and into the engine of this unit so here we can take a closer look at exactly how this articulates so this is an isolation unit right this entire back half can swing one way or another way and that's it keeps the operator safe inside the cow both the articulated both disarticulated Haller and the rigid Haller over there have an onboard weighing system so that as you are getting loaded you know exactly how much weight you're carrying that way you're maximizing productivity maximizing efficiency but you're also keeping the operator safe they're not guessing hey am i overweight is it going to be dangerous as they go down and around this tight turn because they're overweight or they're not overweight they actually have real-time feedback monitoring which helps keep them working all day long all right guys next we're gonna be looking at the Bulbul EC 750 II know this is an excavator specifically designed for high reach long reach a lot of demolition work and it's got a few different configurations specifically to help guys understand that now you can actually reconfigure this in four different ways it's got a maximum reach get a load of this of a hundred and eighteen feet from the pin the next thing that I want to show you is what I consider to be one of the most interesting and that's the track configuration it's designed to create a long stable platform in…
