Menzi Muck M545 digging out a reservoir in Switzerland on a extrem steep slope

- The return: This construction site lasted over a week. The whole bottom of the reservoir was removed from the mud. We're going to film Menzi Muck on many construction sites, but that's not our main job. Therefore it was not possible for us to film the climb also, we're sorry. Franco climbed the slope, as he went down, only that the boom is placed uphill. He pulls up the Menzi Muck with the winch and the boom therefore.

I swear some companies are releasing machines which are two years of r&d away of being actual mechs. This is genuinely impressive.
What does it having wheels make it not a mech? Cause that looks like a mech to me.
@@Googlencraptubesuckabandonship A mech's primary locomotion method would be it's legs on non rolling elements, it also would rely mostly on some sort of active balancing be it via computer or pilot mimicking like prosthesis the antirobot, these machines rely mostly on wheels for transport and passive stability by just stretching their "legs" which are more like a crane's arm due to the lack of joints and the presence of telescopic sections, effectively making them heavy adjustable tripods, tho no less impressive.
@@blackhawksp4453 So a mech with legal restrictions
Pure walking mechs would be pretty dumb, there is no reason why you would be walking everywhere when wheels would do 99% of the time while being more effective in every way. Mechs would also require a lot of hydraulics so even if you where building a two legged star wars mech you would want to put some hydraulic powered ''roller skates'' on its legs and drive it around when you could. That would also give it some nice rubber shoes which you also would want.
We might get 4-8 legged mechs with advanced lidar systems etc that scan the terrain and automatically walk over it (unlike this) because that would be pretty awesome in the forest industry (alot less destructive) but it would still have wheels on the feets so it could drive around if it needed to. What makes a true mech anyway? I'd argue that it should be able to walk over obstacles smoothly with only forward/left/right commands from the operator most of the time, which would require some type of terrain scan. If it have wheels or the number of legs doesn't really matter.
@@amando96 more like mechs without the restrictions.
From a technical standpoint tracks and wheels are way more effective and efficient. On a human scale maybe not so much, but I mean nature had a couple million years to figure that out before us.
Definitely the most impressive drain unclogging I've ever seen.
Perhaps you have not see the Post10 channel. 🤣
@@vipahman I was going to say that Post10 would be proud. Just missing camera two from outlet :D
Maybe he can come over here and unstop up my toilet with it. Really get down in there.
@@vipahman he would LOVE this i imagine
Post10 eat your heart out
That guy must have more controls than a helicopter pilot to be able to control so many different features. Very impressive.
Casual🤦♀️
Yeah I’ve got lucky and used one twice now and the controls are same amount as a normal 360 digger 2 hand sticks and 2 foot sticks but on your hand sticks you have a thumb switch to use to change what your sticks controls ie the legs or the grapple arms on the legs or the digger arm it’s self , they are truly amazing machines and am thinking on relocating to area where they are used on a daily basis
@@Rya_N33 Yes you are.
@@Rya_N33 u are a sad helicopter pilot , its ok , u can fly at least :::)))))
I wanted to see how he gets out of there!
*That machine is amazing. But possibly even more amazing is the absolute balls of steel the operator has.*
Franco must have serious self confidence to attempt this, so impressive. I honestly didn't know just how capable these machines are.
when you have the proper tool and some knowledge, everything is safe
@@MrZobiwan this is not SAFE. There is a huge amount of risk involved with this so thinking its safe is wild.
Remarkable. Seems as if you would almost need a brain-to-machine interface to work all those independent legs and wheels in such an organic way.
Like Doc Ock
Give it some time. Not all that much time, I’m thinking.
I could have watched that for hours. The cost of that machine has to be a crazy amount, but the engineering is awesome.
Agreed
Yeah man! The engineering is impressive! The spider-like solution and how it's made is just awesome!
I'm guessing £250k new going off a 2017 m540 for £185k. special piece of kit
hmmm ... Ouch! That price hurt my feelings. With tears welling up in my eyes, it’ll be hard to watch now 🤣
I just wish it had a hydraulic thumb too...
Awesome machine!!! Now I would like to see how it got back out.
It winched itself down, it'll have winched itself back out.
@@K1lostream It is possible the helicopter that lifted the trees out also lifted the excavator out as well.
@@randygreen007 Possible but improbable- the entire point of this machine is that it can get to places other excavators cannot go.
The cost of development will have been considerable (as will the cost of hiring it). The thing that makes it worth it is you save on other costs to get plant into position (like hiring heavy-lift helicopters and don't kid yourself the one that lifted the wood out could have lifted an excavator).
If it had to be lifted by helicopter, may as well use a conventional excavator at that point.
@@K1lostream There’s a lot of truth to what you’re saying and I agree for the most part. I enjoy going four-wheel driving and have managed to get my vehicle down many steep slopes but knew there was absolutely no way that I could exit that same way. I’ve also spent time in Alaska where heavy lift helicopters are a dime a dozen but you are right they come at a cost. The thing we don’t know is if the helicopter they used for the logs was also used for the equipment? All of this aside I’m not at all discounting it’s ability. It’s a very capable and remarkable piece of equipment.
nothing more impressive then watching a skilled operator do his thing
Now that’s a skilled operator 👌👍
smooth operator as they say 😁
Skilled and cute
@@RNCHFND That's nothing. You should see me... no skill and no looks. Wait, nevermind.....
@@indigatorveritatis491 🤣
Everyone have a safe & good day
I’ve seen one of these doing landscaping of a very steep garden here in Zürich and it’s quite impressive. Kudos to the operator!
Holy cow. This was impressive. The operator is a genius.
It's funny because the maternal half of my family are all heavy equipment operators and almost all of them are low status, highly bigoted, hate filled rednecks. They barely operate their machines, constantly get written up and their biggest concern is how to cheat the drug tests after having the winter off. I ran from that side of the family as fast as I could. Funny, though, I'd love to do blue collar work if it was professional and filled with skill and pride like in this video.
@@sonny9608 Alberta, Canada.
@@sonny9608 Whoa, buddy.
Nur Italiener mit einer Flasche Rotwein in der Hand können das.
That is the most... impressive, complex looking, coolest, strangest looking machine I've seen. It feels like you might need a PhD in mechanics to be able to operate it. Bravo!
This is one seriously trick piece of Machinary. Absolutely awesome. Envy the guy that actually designed and built this. Next level engineering
You think one guy designed and built this?
@@anon2916 2 Guys ^^ 1 Switzer snd 1 German ;)
@@anon2916 A L I E N S
I am envious of that guys job... What a machine! Plus what an extreme environment to be trusted to work in! Cool!
Imagine the paycheck too
_I am envious of that guys job_
I'm not, it looks extremely dangerous.
@@bobbyb9258 It looks dangerous. However when you look at rhe massive grid of steel girders he is working over? That machine can not go anywhere! So he is safe. As long as his machine does not topple over!
He is in control of that. That control is in his own hands... ;)
@@Roblstar While I think it's a cool job that I would also like to do, I think the real danger would be from a mud slide burying you. Or a mud slide blocking the grate and the whole thing filling back up with water.
Franco Capriotti has to be the most amazing operator I have ever seen 👍
Upload part 2 getting out, the people demand it.
As you can read in the discription he gets out right the same way by winch.
Still want to see it. 👍😃
@@jbonegw me too
@@menzimuckcom Vid or it didn't happen.
didn't happed it got washed down $77000 down the drain
It's always amazing to see a Muck in operation! Thank you for sharing.
this operator has some serious skill. i could watch hours and hours of this.
Fascinating!!! Thanks for showing me a view into a crazy place I've wanted to see for a long time, the bottom of a clogged dam!! Perfect! Thanks again!
wow that operator has it all under control. i would have had to change my underpants on that one
Well not sure how this ended up in my feed but wow, this guy has guts and skill to do this job!
The engineers consulted a grasshopper before finalising the design of this craazy machine. The operator drinks adrenaline to be steady & his skill sets are at a different level. He too understands Grasshopper lingo ✊😀
Mad respect to the operator Franco
Viele Grüße aus der Umgebung Sttutart!
Balls of steel with great skill. Awesome work, sir!!
Scientists say they have found two moons orbiting them. He needs a bigger cab.
Kudos to the engineers who designed this machine and kudos to the operator 👏
A machine is only as good as its operator. I give them both 10/10
Imagine a construction worker from the past seeing what he could do with this machine of the future
Very impressing technology and driving skills as well.
That operator has some mighty skill set!
Worked on one of those machines once, incredible engineering.
What an amazing machine! It reminds me of a spider when attached to the winch.
It's nice to see that Voltron is living his best life in Switzrland
Wait till he uses the Blazing Sword on the next cleanup job.
You must be kidding me?!!! what a craftsman. bravo
What a machine and operator to boot!!
Amazing.... the operator must be highly appreciated for his operation skills... May God bless the operator and his family....
Clever and innovative machinery used by a skilled Operator.
This is one cool operator. Good job Brah!
Amazing machine and a skilled operator.
He's got skill and stones.
У мужика стальные яйца. Ну и конечно мастер своей работы. Респектище!
one word...Switzerland 🙂
I’m surprised that thing can carry the weight of those giant balls
Aber hallo....der Junge hat es echt drauf.....ein wahrer Künstler auf seinem Gerät...ich zieh meinen Hut vor solchen Leuten....Können, Gefühl und Fachwissen sind hier gefragt !!!
Impressive machine and an impressive operator!
This machine is extraordinary 👍🏽
Respect!
Awesome machine, awesome operator in an area well known to me despite being at the opposite side of the globe.
I could have watched this for Hours!!, what Skills!!. ✌️❤️👍‼️
Serious trust in your equipment !! That is one hell of a machine !!
Is there a part 2? Would obviously like to see the rest of the video!
Yeah Jon, we got a service call for ya. Its down near the dam. Might as well add this one to the list.
I knew it!! Chester is ALIVE!! You live your life man... I can see how a famed life can be tiring. You do what you love. Thanks for being a part of my childhood
If you let me see him turning up, it would be great even though you explained him to escape from the lake with a winch. Thank you for sharing!
jesus how many controls is that I can barely manage to control a regular excavator without a rototilt
I Salute to those who can do anything to feed for his family. Big Respect to you sir
Amazing drive and excellent machine 👍🏼👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely incredible, it looks like a powerful animal carefully manoeuvring to not destroy it’s surroundings when it climbed and descended.
Only when Bob reached the bottom did he realise how urgently he needed to go
With such a large toilet constantly flushing he could go all day
Are you joking? Ending this video at this point??
As you can read in the discription he gets out right the same way by winch.
@@menzimuckcom you underestimate how interested people are in seeing that.
@@benargee I'm really sorry. I explained in the description why the return trip is missing
Right!!!! I was like oh hell no. How could you stop that right there. I could have watch him do that job for an hour. Love this shit.
@@bfrazee10 🤣🤣🤣
What an incredible machine... Ingenious design.
It does not look half as steep as it really is. Tremendous job done!
It’s like some crazy alien reptile creature..... amazing 👍👍👍
Awesome operator. Cool and experience. He is what every contractor needs and depends on. My hat horse off to this operator. Arne Michigan
and he has to do this type of work may be once a month.
never seen such a well thought out specialized machine before
I am sure they only bring it out for certain jobs it looks brand new almost
Japan is producing fictional Giant Robot adventures (Gundam, Patlabor, Evangelion). In Switzerland, people are living the dream (close enough). 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Getting down was impressive. How did he get up?
They said the same way. I would have liked to see that.
Winch assist down and up. You can see it out the back.
@@johnkruton9708 Good eye, John. I missed that.
he doesnt.
by helicopter
Legend has it he's still down there digging.
an impressive machine coupled with an impressing operator makes for good video footage!
This must be Post10's Swiss uncle
Post10 dream job
If these things become sentient we're done for.
That is one crazy ass machine! and a crazier operator!!
One amazing machine and operator.
Very impressive, but did it get out up the same slope, or is it still there?
Его вытащили за трос. Без проблем. Как сосиску на верёвочке.
Máquina incrível!
AWESOMELY FANTASTIC
Wow crazy machinery. Impressive capabilities
This came through after watching series of RC toys, i thought this was one till camera man zoomed in on the cockpit i saw a live human....brain freeze
I really wanted to see him get himself out of there.
As you can read in the discription he gets out right the same way by winch.
@@menzimuckcom that's great, as I said I wish I could have SEEN him do so, not read about it.
@@integr8er66 In this video you can see how a Menzi Muck goes up AND down: th-cam.com/video/8Y85nfQuU0M/w-d-xo.html
@@menzimuckcom cool, thx those machines are amazing
That was frickin awesome!
Crazy driver skills for sure!
Hope his pay is commiserate with the skill. Always blows me away how they'll want to pay a guy average Joe pay and send them on a scary job with a 600k machine.
That is amazing.
omg what a bit of kit...amazing..
I’m impressed 👍🏼👍🏼
This is it: WE ARE OFFICIALLY LIVING IN THE FUTURE!
And of course, this IS the future of all reservoirs, otherwise they cease being reservoirs, and turn into shallow ponds with no storage capacity.
I wonder how the dams of the future will be designed to ensure they last for centuries, and not just decades.
I have no clue what the subtitles say...but, I dont need to . The operators skills are amazing 👏 !
wow...that was so good.
In his spare time he rides a Supersport in the TT his nits are that big.
I’ve been operating plant for 30 years in some real dodgy places (Ex Forces) I’m telling you now this guys has some faith in his ability and that piece of equipment.
Outstanding operating skills Franco Capriotti sir 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Looks like the guys first day on the job, well done...
Well done
Breathtaking
Amazing piece of equipment or not, that guy has got some balls. 👍
Bravo M. Capriotti ! 👍
impressionnant !!! bravo !!!!!
Awesome machine and Skilled operator
Everyone talk about machine but I love the operator determination
That guy is pretty good. That’s the ultimate machine as far as adjustments
Amazing!!!
Currently using a 1.5t mini excavator, decided i need to upgrade to this.
Only digging 9 cubic meters but still, wants must.
Bravo MASTER! Prezise Arbeit!
I got the chance to operate one of these when I worked for the county. We used them to dig out relief lines for the Highway. Florida is swampy.
This is something hilarious,I haven't seen this sort of machine before...bravo to the operator
