Liebherr

[timberman78]

he wasn't wearing a seat belt, was he?

[robinsonandy1]

its ok getting up there but wheres the vid for the descent??

[TamaFuruno]

Gay

[jcotteri]

what a unit

[skibum1610]

The point of this was???

[VasilchenkoV]

Стальные Яйца!!!! Круть!

[Dansorrel224]

I wanna see the vid of him getting down xD

[signa8]

Let's see him get down now that they've welded the arm to the tower!

[KingLofiOne]

@signa8 The arm is not welded to the tower. During the stunt the reporter was saying multiple times that the plate was just locked into position. The flames at the end were just pyrotechnics to show that he had won his bet.

[bugatti20111]

я хочу детей от этого мужика ))

[CSquaredSounds]

How does he get down?!

[taylanwolf]

German engineering and courage!!!

[nameofthepen]

Parkour, German-style. :-)

[DeadOriginal]

@nameofthepen , I'll be honest nOm, if someone asked me to pick a machine to get to the top of a tall structure.. I'd choose a helicopter..

[nameofthepen]

@DeadOriginal - well, yeah. But I think I'd pick an elevator. ;-))

[technoadmin]

This operator has balls of steel!!!!!!

[Soulfree2008]

@technoadmin so does the guy standing underneath reporting! :O

[FyeRee]

one question... how did he get down...?

[Lintflas]

This was a bet for a German TV show, called Wetten dass (engl: you bet...!) back in the 90s.

An excavator with the weight of 15 tons climbing up a tower with the height of 20 meters. Possible or not?

[Lintflas]

Arrrr German engineering ...

[l33pul]

Ahh my hydraulic line just burst ! :-) awesome skills

[411smiths]

first time i seen something like this. awesome

[ArbourMc]

And what now

[kaelok]

Put that guy back behind the desk; would've thought Liebherr would've put a real Operator in that machine rather than appeasing some spoiled executive... Someone might think the excavator actually was so poorly built that it would jump and jerk in such a manner.

[shadowr434]

@kaelok Totally agree with you.

[sophiah88]

Incredible! Only Germans can do this, dont try it at home.

[JohnLindi]

@sophiah88 crazy qrauts

[sophiah88]

@JohnLindi do I detect a note of jealousy there Lindi?

[MegaEspolon]

Si tienes pensado comprar una grua, es para hacer trabajos que requieren un vehiculo adecuado para ello, ahora, ¿que finalidad le puedo dar a una grua que trepa a una torre? sería mejor verla haciendo el trabajo para lo que fué diseñada, a lo mejor termina siendo un vehículo trepador bueno y como grua no me sirve en fin , a mi me gustaría verla haciendo lo que debe hacer una grua

[file83]

Red necks of the world...UNITE!!!

[rumuus]

Where's your God now?

[sodasirap]

Somehow the building structure fascinates me more than the climbing excavator. So strong to hold a heavy load like that

[WtfGamerFtw]

now to climb down....

[AJIXX4EVAH]

did he said burger?

[no1w8s4me]

WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?!?!?!

[sophiah88]

@no1w8s4me sorcery no.

German ingenuity YES!

[eiehikjgnewgihnw]

2:50 is the reporter holding a picture of himself?

[ralphus44]

2:22 Is that Baby Spice? She's hot!

[kslyker]

NOT RUSSIAN. That is German, and according to the video - it took place in Vienna, Austria.

[takes2home]

Thats wenn they say EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!

[hijyuchi]

シュテファン大聖堂前で何やってんだリーブヘル！！

アタッチメントを磁石にしてタワーを登るとは（笑）

しかし、センスがあってこういうの大好きです！！

コマツもやってくんないかなぁ～

[Deathmachine922]

How does he get back down?

[hijyuchi]

@Deathmachine922

私もそれが気になります（笑）

[vda30]

A wonderfull video... send it everywhere in the world where people are dying because of hunger or thirst don't forget to explain them that with the cost of this show they would have been saved for years......

[SirSceptalot]

@vda30 Perhaps you should calculate how long you can save a few of their lives with the price you're paying each month for you internet connection.

[vda30]

@SirSceptalot I won't pay attention to this answer because with my internet connection I can help some people to live a better life

I m not a belgium "no life " and geek like u...

And also because the cost of this useless show is thouwsend billions time what i spend in the year for all my needs....

So never mind you coment...

[Lavinius4life]

How do you say "holy shit" in Russian?

[D1Hosie]

i want this diga

[MrCMEPTYXA]

охуеть"!

[romei5]

wicked but fuck the music

[Coudemoustachu]

ahha fuck this

[Henritampon]

Sa lé fou sa

[SmokeyMCP]

If safety was #1, why was the guy standing underneath it at 7:47? That's like safety 101!

[CarlitosGrinder]

SECO EL VIEJO CULIA'O !!!!!!!

[Moviestarization]

German Engineering, Swiss operator, what will happened ?

[defiant18]

thats incredible!



[mintiaize]

I wanted to watch how did he come down from the top.

[666km666]

rupert the best!!

[JRWperformance]

its in germany...rhe court system will just say,"well your stupid and should not have been standing under the giant 30, 000lb steel spinning thing hanging in the air!" As opposed to here in the us the courts would place the blame on the operators. Stupid...

[HassaanAbdeen]

It's amazing but the lack of safety procedures and precautions is a big hazard!!!

[traceyrissik]

One hell of a driver/operator!!!

[verdadeirojhoy]

quero vr os pela saco da Caterpillar faze isso !?!?!!

Caterpillar a Pior Empresa de se trabalhar no BRASIL !!!

MDF

[DexterStyle]

did he die?!

[felipeoliveira5544]

Da bugger!

[julioc345]

@emohr2015 noa Brasil te chamaria (h)emorróida.

Do it yourself, if it's just smoke n' mirrors.

[exan71]

Schade, daß es nach dem Unfall vom Stelzenspringer solche risikohaften Wetten nie wieder bei Wetten...daß geben wird.

[exan71]

Schade, daß es nach dem Unfall vom Stelzenspringer solche risikohaften Wetten nie wieder bei Wetten...daß geben wird.

[exan71]

Schade, daß es nach dem Unfall vom Stelzenspringer solche risikohaften Wetten nie wieder bei Wetten...daß geben wird.

[gimingham]

I want one !!!!!

[seagreen1960]

Dass ist silly.

[BarakudaNah]

ornung

[EK1D]

so how did he come down?

[reuntes]

OSHA would lose their shit if they saw this.

[teyman10]

omg awesome...this is pure win!

[torresdearneiro]

Eso es pilotar el resto...silencio

[tattrie17]

the piro at the end was accidently switched to thermite cutting rods.......oops..lol those crazy germans are at it again

[voaltai]

Молодец)

[asd34557]

HEXYEBO!

[cslicer]

Incredible! Nathan could do this. Hey Becky, do you think Mat could do this too ?

Carl in Conn (2,111,197).

[ultimatefang007]

This is how Chuck Norris played in the sand when he was 4.

[DiggermanNo1]

@ultimatefang007, Chuch Norris is a pussy - Ema Peel would kick his ass any day.

[iXecFTW]

@ultimatefang007 Not funny tbh

[MrSergio975]

Moi je dis chapeau a cet Artiste !

[roughneck6103]

you think thats amazing you should see what he does with a shovel handel

[jos12111993]

Wooow what a power in that machine!

And the guy in it has balls!

[Sasuke3134]

Music at 3.00?

impressionnante cette vidéo.

[PWPLP]

Yeah that is no standard excavator bucket and thumb, look at those two extra rams! And those hooks on the undercarriage too.

[emohr2015]

@webassasin

All I'm saying is there's no skill involved here, and I still say it's all smoke and mirrors

ask any real operator

so now web ass, bite me!

[rramadann]

cok profesyonel



[v10supertruck]

This demonstration is to show off the power of Liebherr's hydrolics. Who cares how it hooks to the tower?

[greeneyedsteamengine]

Damn good machine/operator and great PR for the company.

[lilPat]

so....how did it get down?

[peteraerton]

operator is pro

[icex2010]

@emohr2015 This video is meant to show the power of the excavator which is the reason they had him climb the tower. Safety was #1 along iwth showing performance of the machine.

[tycon1337]

So what you are saying is I should try this at home?

[emohr2015]

A few days ago when I first saw the pictures of this I thought the guy was really doing something, but now that I look at the video I'm calling bullshit, if you notice the front of the carriage has two books that he hooks into, where the bucket would normally be has at plate the top of which he hooks into under a lip, then there are those two pins that push out so he hooked in, on top of that is where his seatbelt, this is all show, smoke and mirrors,

[webassasin]

@emohr2015

so i guess you can do it yourself.

another asshole who comments negatively on a video on utube.

like we give a fuck about u or your opinion.

[batvette]

@emohr2015 there is no "smoke and mirrors", merely that you could say "this machine is specially equipped for this stunt". what appears to be instances of the machine resorting on purely balance to remain fast, is obviously not.

Pretty damn cool AND dangerous nevertheless.

[malagarcha]

the german tecnology is the best of best in the world.

i love german car.

[majorl31]

This operator has the cool hands

[manxpompom]

Meme les pelleteuses font de l escalade.....

[JohnnyRico777]

omgwtfbbq !

[iamspencerx]

me too i can climb it and i dont need a liebherr for that *sigh*

[Trruckker]

bad time for a hydraulic pump failure and/or leak

[1jugster]

That is pretty impressive, but I was a crane op with Liebherr for 5 years and they were a bunch o cunts........ so I took one star of the rating 

[850mb]

What if the argot breaks?

[1221amar]

its amazing......

[bobbie4]

Simply amazing!

[person221]

hydraulic balls

[DiggermanNo1]

Refreshing to see the lack of health & safety personnel infesting the show.

[abomo3tzz]

near miss!! Safety was not there!!!

[moldo2]

Does anybody know which Liebherr model this is? Is it a prototype, or what? I don't know if the guy says it in the clip, i'm not that good at German.

[850mb]

@moldo2 2:26, it seems like an 312, but you can't see it very clear.

[moldo2]

@850mb With rearranged hydraulics right?

[slugok]

bajate culooooo

[JohnEdmo]

amazing

[MrMarius1991]

totaler rotz

[lilliadawn166]

Holy scheisse! Very impressive...crazy, but impressive.

[BUNGLEJYME]

This is pretty awesome. Another classic heavy equipment event to watch is some guy who converted his bulldozer into a tank and leveled an entire town because the local politicians screwed him over. Look up the Killdozer on Youtube.

[MrViewingpleasure]

It's ALL about the hydraulic capacities of the machine along with the placement abilities of the operator.

[aasasdddd]

אירי פיק

[NewYorkToimes]

Pitty the Vivaldi recording is such a bad one Should have used a period instruments recording

[thelordz72]

I think this machine will stay up there just for the show.

[mci4sion]

frate...vreu sa vad si un roman ca face asa aceva...sau orice altceva

[MsJohnvan7]

I love every thing from Germany

[sjvan0]

@MsJohnvan7 Except that this is, you know, in Austria and not Germany. Unless they moved Vienna when I wasn't looking.

[Djnti]

qué huevotes de ese man!

[mechanori]

This is frankly one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.

[Bypassone]

@mechanori : that's because you didn't see in the same program, 1 guy blowing bubbles through a 1 meter long massive piece of wood. Or 2 guys guessing which song is recorded in an LP only by watching its grooves... truly amazing

[mgessford]

Aren't those girls the Spice Girls?

[stanbonez]

why ............

[Hibachiarenas]

@stanbonez  Why not?

[lucaslavia]

how do they get it down?

[ulstermade]

If the Hydralics failed at that height, you would get wrecked,and they can fail quite easily, I no!

[freedomsoldier187]

german engineering, there is no substitute !

[ModelBouwMBVA]

Now that's control off power !!!

[hantooool]

very powrful !!

the breaks also powrful and so balanced

this is the best advertizement i have seen

[crustyjuggler83]

I wish my cock was that toy liebherr in that blonde bitch's hand at 2.14

[dhomeeeee]

والله ان يبلش بتنزيله اسألون انا جربتها اكثر من 60 مرهـ

وعلى قول المثل: مايفك الحديد الا الحديد

ادري مالها دخل بس جا ببالي وقلته :)

[wildejon]

Not THAT cool, he wasn't even blindfolded! :P

Nah, hugely cool stuff!

[Judas666Schrader]

That would really hurt if it fell.

[agthorpe]

who did the welding on those plates?

[Piodao1]

Impressionante. Este vídeo deveria ser apresentado nas TV´s do meu País para que se começasse a perceber o atraso e subdesenvolvimento de Portugal, país sempre adverso às engenharias/tecnologias e por essa razão sempre em crise.

[dkunha39]

@Piodao1 Vens para um site internacional dizer mal do teu próprio país. Mesmo que houve ligação com o vídeo não é uma atitude muito patriótica. O que vale é que esse subdesenvolvimento do país permitiu que o comentário fosse escrito de forma a que quase ninguém conseguisse entender. Ainda bem por isso...

[khaled6100]

WOW .. i am going to buy one just to ride it with my friends haaaaaaaa

[greyoldfellow]

BALLS OF STEEL has a new meaning now.

[94iamaranger]

boys and their toys! lol

[sor3h]

@94iamaranger HAHAHA nice one

[XDiScONeCtX]

Wow.. This is AMAZING!

I'm sure he jizzed in his pants! XD

[mrballful]

wtf

[reunionmusical]

amazing. Now; get it on the floor again!!!!

i want to see it!.

[good2btodd]

semisatanic1 is right he is not a very sooth operator this feat could have been done as beautifully as a ballet dancer but was rough as corncob toilet paper!

[sor3h]

@good2btodd I'd say you are an expert.

[newkillergenius]

then, suddenly, the hydraulics seized.....

[TaniaRenaud]

Liebherr is King of the WoooooOOooooorld...

[04cscholes]

omg i just watched a digger climb a pole. what am i doing? :-$

[SilverWolfM200LDH]

I just watched this; a friend emailed this to me. It was simply incredible, I true test of a tradesperson's skill with their machine.

[HerbBeamish]

Let me see it Slam Dunk a Basketball....

[najdaweee]

MADE IN GREMENY

[Phobocaster666]

For LIEBHERR I WAS PRODUCING PARTS (ARMS AND HEAVY METAL PARTS) AND from CROATIA we WERE SENDING IT TO GERMANY...I'M PROUD :))))

[semisatanic1]

Cool Stunt but the operator is as rough as old boots!

I thought he was trying to knock it down for the first few minuites.

Have they no good machine drivers in Germany?

[baptistedeschrevel]

yeah way cool

[Vivizepao]

Tá, mas e como ele faz pra descer??

[ddsquires]

Ever wonder what it would be like to free climb a tower while equipped only with an excavator? Wonder no more! This is what I would call creative marketing. Two thumbs up to Liebherr!

[bobduvar]

Oh my goodness !!! this is so so boring !!

[sexygurl691814]

Holy crap the spice girls are in that video LMAO

[broncofangj]

Okay any excavator could do the same thing if it's fitted with the attachments that are on the one in this clip. Can it outwork a PC 200 or a Cat 330 is what Im wondering?

[broncofangj]

Rickson by armbar.

[vultchTV]

His balls are made from the same steel

[newharmony7]

And how does he get down!?
