Draglines


















I've been in Florida this week for work and had the opportunity to visit the company's local dragline. Wait, it's not just a dragline, it's a walking dragline.! This absolutely huge piece of equipement that can move tons of earth with one scoop, can actually walk. I think the speed is only .6 miles/hour, but that is truly amazing. It's just like out of Star Wars - expect it's a huge walking, scouping machine. Don't worry, it leaves no environmental impact. Oh, wait!

That's my boss and I in the draline bucket.
