15 Modern Machines That Are at Another Level

i love machines don't you once upon a time we'd have to perform back-breaking labor to get something done now we simply sit in a cushy seat and let a machine do everything for us it's not good for the waistline but it sure is good for the pocket and our backs from automatic weeders to tree spades here are 15 modern machines that are at another level number 15 menzie muck excavators how many times have you found yourself down a rabbit hole watching endless youtube videos about excavators sliding down cliffs and embankments it happens all too often and many times it's because the terrain is too steep too sloped or too unstable for a digger excavator or another machine to tackle it safely and that's where the menzie muck excavator comes in for those steep slopes and even construction work in streams this excavator comes to the party it's part of a walking excavator series from swiss excavator manufacturer menzie muck and it's making waves in the market it was first unveiled at the bomba 2013 trade fair to show people what it could achieve these excavators are designed with hydraulics and an electronic control unit to move on four wheels connected to an undercarriage with legs these legs can adjust the track width and vehicle height to make them suitable for use in various challenging conditions you can also use it in drive mode and work mode making the excavator more stable but that's not all this excavator has a bag of tricks it features social load sensing and a powerful hydraulic system from just one source it's easy to see why contractors are tripping over themselves to find out more about this machine before we go on like this video smash the subscribe button and click the notification bell right now or this centipede will crawl on your face when you're sleeping number 14 svm 1000 high speed laying machine whenever you take a trip on a train take a moment to think about the hard-working men and women who painstakingly put each sleeper and railway track component in place much of it was done by hand and we get to reap the rewards today but we're not doing much by hand these days and one of the reasons for that is we've got high speed laying machines the first speed laying machine was put into operation in 1981 in australia since then these machines have made their way around the world laying thousands of kilometers of railway tracks with incredible precision in use today is the svm-1000 a machine from placer india that offers a continuous supply of rails and sleepers at an output of about 300 kilometers per year these machines have two portable units and one laying unit and come with clip units they not only transport sleepers from a to b but lay sleepers and rails as well they come with adjustable portal heights to remain compliant during travel along with flat cars to transport sleepers to their destination around 24 cars stocked with sleepers can lay about 1.5 kilometers of track in a six-hour working shift number 13 cat excavator hydraulic mining shovel in this day and age uptime is everything the less down time you have the more productive you are and the more money you can make cat understood this they wanted to improve their uptime with their equipment and also focus on fuel efficiency maintenance convenience data management and ergonomics with those things in mind the cat excavator hydraulic mining shovel was born the mining shovel is no new invention we've had our pick of electric rope shovels for quite some time but hydraulic mining shovels are a different kettle of fish altogether let's look at cat 6090 fs shovel for example it has two 60 liter diesel engines reliable torque and power and it's both productive and agile what's more they boast low fuel consumption which means you can lower your costs per ton of materials moved people who make the switch also note how easy it is to selectively extract coal and rock ore while having more control over maneuverability at the same time several manufacturers are now getting on board with hydraulic mining shovels but it's clear to see that cat is a cut above many of them number 12 bricklaying robot sam 100 bricklaying is back breaking work you're hunched over all day lifting heavy bricks and have to carry out repetitive ranges of motion for hours on end each day do you know what can change all that sam no not your buddy sam the construction robot sam100 sam100 is a semi-automated mason or bricklaying robot that was engineered by construction robotics it is now the first commercially available bricklaying robot for masonry construction this big guy is not designed to get rid of jobs in the construction industry it's designed to work alongside those within it and take care of the back-breaking labor it can result in 50-plus percent labor savings while reducing lifting by as much as five times it can also reduce the health and safety impact while making it easier to plan and quote jobs watching sam 100 in action is insane he picks up the bricks loaded onto the conveyor and cement then places them perfectly on the wall or home being built he even knows to put cement on both the bottom and side to ensure a strong end result go sam number 11 nasa crawler transporter have you ever wondered how giant rockets are transported once they're built it's not like you can just fire them up to move them where you need to that's where nasa's crawler transporters come in formerly known as missile crawler transporter facilities these tracked vehicle pairs are used to transport spacecraft along the crawler way from nasa's vehicle assembly building to launch complex 39. they've been used to transport space shuttles and rockets for several decades and once they get to the launch pad they return to the pad with the launch platform both crawler transporters were designed and built by a company called marion power shovel company they used components sourced from rockwell international which cost around 14 million dollars each once they were built these crawler transporters became the largest self-powered land vehicles in the world they weigh around six million pounds and have eight tracks with two on each corner to move around they measure 131 by 114 feet and the platform to ground height is entirely adjustable from 20 to 26 feet unlike most machines that require one or two operators crawler transporters need a team of nearly 30. number 10 boom mowers in an ideal world every area of vegetation would be flat for easy mowing that would definitely make machine operators lives a whole lot easier but nothing in life is easy so people have to get creative and build machines that at least make certain tasks a bit less complicated boom mowers from bush hog are an example of machines that simplify life as much as possible if you have to trim trees hedges or brush or even mow down embankments or behind guard rails it's now not a huge undertaking you simply need to purchase a boom mower that attaches to a tractor with a cab and gives you complete flexibility with where and how you mow you can purchase a huge number of accessories to attach to the boom depending on which task you're undertaking you can get rotary heads cutter bars power trims flatheads sickle bar heads and more each of these attachments perform different tasks based on your needs but what they all have in common is that they attach to a boom on your tractor that extends over any obstacle that stands in your way number nine automatic in a row weeder consumers are becoming pickier about where their fruits and vegetables are coming from and what's being sprayed onto them during the growing phase with that in mind many farmers are opting for more natural production methods but with these more natural production methods comes one annoying problem weeds how do you stop weeds from taking over your precious crops without using weed sprays sure you could painstakingly pull them out by hand but the labor costs of that would see a single head of lettuce having to sell for hundreds of dollars to make a profit so we'd like to introduce to you a modern machine that's at another level the automatic in-row leader this innovative robocrop machine uses video image analysis techniques to locate plants and remove weeds mechanically in between rows it's designed for use with transplanted crops like celery lettuce and cabbage however you can use it on other crops with regular plant rows and spacing and precise separation in just minutes your entire crop can be weeded and free to thrive it doesn't get much easier than that number 8 road zipper many city workers rely on concrete lane dividers or jersey barriers to ease congestion and carry out construction work these barriers provide a seamless transition from one lane to the next freeing up lanes for maintenance or to handle rush hour traffic but imagine trying to place these solid concrete walls by hand that would take hours not with the road zipper this barrier transfer machine transfers concrete lane dividers in sequence without the need for manual labor or significant time wasting the road zipper has an s-shaped conveyor channel within its undercarriage that lifts each segment weighing over 1 000 pounds off the road and moves it to the other side of the lane they're all linked together with steel connectors to make them sturdy yet safe and flexible each barrier system is a minimum of 100 feet long but can be as long as necessary they also all have rubber feet to stop them from being abrasive against the road surface in a single pass these machines can move up to around 24 feet of barrier segments in just one pass at speeds of up to 10 miles an hour some can also hold up to 50 feet of barriers at a time number seven eco track forestry skater the forestry industry is one that's both dangerous and complicated there is very little room for error yet it seems like some of the most necessary machines for this industry haven't even been invented yet sometimes it can take people in the industry to come up with an idea and that's what happened in the case of the eco-tract forestry skidder with advice from the university of zagreb's forestry faculty and customers working in croatian forests hittner designed the 117 horsepower ecotrax skidder that could carry out a range of tasks in a challenging forest environment one man can safely and precisely pull a collection of tree branches and trunks into alignment with the skidder then pull them out of tricky terrain to somewhere for more accessible collection [Applause] as small as the forestry skidder is it has plenty of power to pull off this task courtesy of its dut's engine and sour danfoss hydraulics it also boasts constant 4x4 drive two differentials with a blocking system and hydraulic front and rear plates for pushing and protection seeing the ease at which it moves with massive tree trunks in tow it's not hard to see why the eco track is so desirable number six the iron monster mobile gantry crane have you ever wondered how bridges can be erected so quickly sometimes the mobile gantry crane could be responsible also known as a bridge building crane girder launcher and iron monster this crane is designed for use with segmental bridges these bridges tend to be highway or high speed rail bridges and use precast box girder bridge segments the launching gantry is a magnificent machine it not only lifts bridge segments but supports them while they are being put into place they're similar to movable scaffolding systems but are not the same thing since the scaffolding systems are simply used for cast in place construction of bridge segments it's true that ground-based cranes can also lift bridge girders and segments but they have limitations if there are bodies of water or height requirements ground-based cranes are not always suitable the iron monster comes to the party by not having as many height or obstacle limitations they have twin parallel girders that can be above or below the bridge deck and are typically sized for each construction project you may have seen one being used at the construction of the honolulu rail transit or the ilderae bridge number five tiger cat forwarders forwarders are innovative machines in the forestry industry that make each worker's life a lot easier in the production chain these machines and their operators carry felt logs from a tree stump to a roadside or clearing for them to be transported elsewhere they are designed with a log bunk and operators cab and can work in some challenging terrain that trucks can't access some forwarders can even extract stems but they're far more suitable for cut to length harvesting which means the trees have already been processed at the stump into logs to carry out such an important job you need a pretty handy piece of gear and tiger cat forwarders tick that box these machines range in size from 14 to 25 tons and are built for tricky terrain heavy loads and high use they're available in three models and have low wide bunk systems to eliminate the need for a vertical sliding gate they also boast remote log for forestry operation connectivity and a robust fpt engine from tiger cat thanks to wide range transmission there's also no need for operators to choose between a high or low range instead the full speed range is available all the time number 4 tree spade in the past if you ever wanted to replant or transplant a large bush or small to medium tree you'd have to do it by hand that task took a long time especially when you're relying on your strength alone so when the tree spade was invented for use with a tractor or a loader the world rejoiced [Music] okay so it was mainly nursery owners that rejoiced but you know same thing these special machines come in a variety of sizes and designs and mount onto a tractor or a loader those who work in nurseries also often mount them onto excavators although this practice is rare they can have between one and four blades and work by encircling the tree they then dig into the ground and lift the whole tree including the root ball which consists of root and soil once it's lifted out of the ground it can be replanted or transplanted into another area depending on your soil condition and terrain you can purchase a tree spade with straight or curved blades some are also designed to work with specific root ball depths angles and diameters number three komatsu 901 harvester forestry harvesters are incredible machines that forestry workers use to fell de-limb and buck trees typically this machine will work alongside a forwarder which will take the prepared logs to a collection point given the critical role these machines play in the forestry industry it's crucial to pick one that stands out from the crowd the komatsu 901 harvester does it's agile powerful and boasts both operator comfort and high productivity levels it's also designed to be optimal for thinning tasks while being able to operate with several head functions and cranes it weighs as little as 17 600 kilograms and has a traction force of a whopping 165 kilonewtons what's more it's packed full of convenient features to make the average logging worker's job a whole lot easier for example it has a step with a retractable handle so you can get into and out of the cab with ease there's also a storage space for all your tools of the trade the komatsu even considers the operator's needs with a spacious cab exceptional visibility and low noise levels what more could you need to get the job done this modern machine is a game changer number two olive harvester once upon a time olive harvesters would have to pick them by hand when you consider how many olives you get in a jar from the grocery store you can imagine how long this task would take today we get to take advantage of olive harvesters save your hands sit in comfort and let a machine do all the work one that stands out from many others is the mavo it has been specially designed for intensive plantations and has a unique olive harvesting head to avoid damage it can yield up to 17.6 tons per hour reach driving speeds of up to 2.5 miles per hour and has two on-board bins with a 593.6 gallon capacity basically you can carry 3.9 tons of olives with each load it works quickly provides exceptional visibility courtesy of cameras and has a multi-functional joystick with backlit keys people also like how it has wide tires to protect the soil and can shake trees without damaging them you may be surprised at its fuel efficiency too it can go a whole day without needing to be refueled number one potato harvester over 1 billion people eat potatoes throughout the world so it makes sense why our total global crop production is over 300 million metric tons and why we have over 4 000 native potato varieties to feed the masses we are particularly picky about our potatoes so it's only natural that we want the best equipment to handle them grimm's veritron 470 is pretty much the creme de la creme with an operator cab that looks fancier than your living room and incredible performance it's no wonder vegetable producers are raving about this machine the veritron is a four row self-propelled potato harvester that boasts quiet and comfort in the cab but total unrivaled performance in the field the new cabin has a leather seat a cooling box a radio and a hands-free kit this machine also offers fully automatic speed adjustments and automatic bunker chain lubrication suppose you want to make sure you're getting the most out of your machine in that case you can also connect to a telemetry unit that shows you data about the time you spent working the weather conditions fuel consumption and more is there anything this harvester can't do unlikely it's crazy to think that someone somewhere decided enough is enough i'm tired of digging this giant tree out of the ground by hand i'm gonna build a machine and then they did and here we are think about the tasks you do every day by hand is there a machine you could invent or buy to do it for you also
