The walking excavators' special features are based on a sophisticated high-tech chassis and the patented boom: various hydraulic cylinders enable the all-rounder to adapt its wheels and supports to any terrain. For this in some countries the Menzi Muck is also called spider excavator.
Fixed tilting edges on Menzi Muck tracked excavators can be adjusted depending on the task ahead thanks to the adjustable wheel and claw supports. As a result, it produces lifting and ripping forces beyond those of conventional excavators. A Menzi Muck weighing 9.5 tons produces an output similar to that of a 20 ton tracked excavator.
Comments: The idea of having to go around all the grease points on this machine would fill me with dread. And much much work would you really get for such a machine to make it worth the expense?
imagine building something awesome like this but still requiring the operator to sit inside risking his life, this should be operated remotely 100meter away in an air conditioned van
BrOh My Fucking GOD! 343 changed the Warthogs' suspension to something more "realistic", but this excavator just PROVED that the ORIGINAL Warthog suspension IS realistic.
