    Loved the video Aaron . It must be wonderful to see how people do the same type of work in different countries and different continents; quite interesting to see the differences and similarities so close-up. Thank you to the companies who invite you to come and film! It is also 'work' for them! Much appreciated!

    Aaron, You've earned your success and access to the finest construction and mining equipment in the world. Keep in mind that there are many people envious of your work and what seems to be effortless success. As a person who's coached world class athletes for the last 46 I know that your kind of success did not come without hard work and personal sacrifice.

    For bigger repairs, often a truck with knuckleboom is sent to site to deal with heavy parts. And here in europe nearly every bigger contractor has service contracts or strict service plans in place to prevent breakdowns as much as possible

    Meanwhile here in Australia our builders chuck the chop saw in the skip bin at the end of jobs and bury the scrap…. Our building methods are shabby too, no zip sheathing or the like even available on the market. Just throw another air con at it if it’s too hot/cold. Someone save us.

    for anyone who wonders how much something like this cost just like every major corporate construction company they leverage monopoly and insider bidding for these type of jobs so it doesn't matter. for example the F1 track in las vegas who was paved by las vegas paving corporation they have people sitting in both the company and public government positions who elect the contractor.

    Very nice reporting and excellent photo! Based on the infected debate among firefighters regarding helmets (traditional US versus European style).. do you have any thoughts on the different types of helmets for construction? As a European I tend to think the brimmed US helmets are cool but still like the ability to attach hearing protection and visors when needed.

    • @Tony.795
      @Tony.795 27 днів тому +1

      I think the KASK helmets are the best because of their foam liner that provides a crumple zone instead of the traditional straps. I had a logging accident where a limb fell on my head. The straps on the helmet I wore broke and I suffered some fractures of a facial bone and the skull. I got KASK helmet afterwards.

      In Switzerland many three axle dumptrucks are able to put on a hiab crane in the back if needed and also can park it up. It has a quick connection takes you about 5minutes to install and uninstall, they are often used for smaller lifting jobs.

    • @chickenfishhybrid44

      Right, so when one machine is down, you need to stop another machine to use it to help fix the broken one.

    • @ProtonOne11
      @ProtonOne11 Місяць тому +1

      Service Vans are great to fix all the smaller daily issues. As soon as you need a crane or heavy welding, you need specialized and trained crane operators and welders anyway, so they will come with theyr own vehicles. You are not even allowed to drive a forklift in Switzerland for any commercial application without proper forklift training and certifications.

  • @chickenfishhybrid44
    @chickenfishhybrid44 Місяць тому

    So, are there Swiss regulations that require them to try and recycle materials? Does the government offer subsidies or some sort of tax break or other incentive for them to do it?
    I imagine this must be quite the costly thing to get started.

      @ProtonOne11 Місяць тому

      Pretty sure they have storage piles outside of the recycling factory where they can quickly dump large amounts of waste from a job site as a buffer, so the robots can keep on sorting while demolition needs to stop because of the noise.

      Vans are commonly used in all sorts of commercial and service work in the US as well. Trucks in the US set up for service work generally have boxes, cabinets, etc. to store things in. With the open cargo area and a crane on a service truck, you can easily lift large parts and set them on the truck for transport.
