Machine is especially designed to work under the overhead wires. It means it can't lift too high so in effect rips rather than lifts the lines out of the road bed. This work is all done in the weekends so the tracks are ripped up and replaced in time for business on Monday. This is the quickest way by far.
What a waste of labor with those silly rolling boards. The rest of the guys just standing around on the sidewalks. Even the guy in the excavator looked like a younger newbie just having fun sliding around on the steel. Geesh.
why? hitting somebody or something (a window for example) by schrapnel is going to cost more its calculated in the price/tender And the machine is quite efficient. Dont forget you're obstructed by the overhead cables and the maximum weight in urban environment. (old sewer lines could break, interference by uneven weight distribution of old building foundations etc)
At this tonnage the best machine for this kind of work is the Liebherr R976. If we had to focus only on the strength of the bar then doosan would be better than the Cat.
Sliding isn't an issue except with reducing the amount of force the attachment can transfer. In fact, sliding is the probably least bad stress relief. Other options would be to flex the boom, overpressure the hydraulics, break the train tracks (also desired, but only controlledly) or ripping an undercarriage track. Particularly over the latter, sliding is much preferrable.
This is the fastest way to replace bigger sections of tram tracks on one weekend. They start at saturday morning and trams can roll again on monday morning. But you need big (100ton) excavators to do this, and it costs money (which is why this only happens in Switzerland) Eberhard actually developped this „track slicer“ and it‘s only done in Switzerland. You can‘t just close down sections of tram tracks for weeks to replace them (like they do in Germany for example) in a city line Zurich, where most of the public transport is done by trams.
Awesome machine. Work in construction myself & love watching these big machines at work. Great video. Thanks for sharing

wonder what a set of tracks cost...

Wow,what a machine !!!!!!!!!
I'd love to work with one of these .
What is the reason for that workers that move with some moveable windows and images?
Good operator
Good safety practices 👍

henty dvaja komparzisti z reklamami mi tam lezu na nervy,začo su platený?
Oh my god so heavy machine
Why not saw cut the concrete and steel or use a concrete breaker so the machine doesn't have to work so bloody hard and slip and slide so much?

@@2xKTfc All the operator has to do is not put his tracks on the rails. They won't slip so much.
There has got to be a better way of doing that. The video itself is terrific, just the same.

That advert looks so stupid
they need to get a operator with more experience, this kid has no clue how to run that beast.
And you have no clue what you dumbass are talking about ...
