I'm drooling over all this steel scrap!!!

[@thewippit2400]

Beauty of a liebherr demo high reach machine..

[@johnjones6400]

I was a Utility operator in the Caarbon Bake,

[@pederlindstrom3132]

YEEYYY,,, Anglesey, been there. N Wales, love it 😀

[@jackking5567]

Not profitable? Yeah right! You mean not making enough profit.. We had similar at Lynemouth in the NE of the UK. Lynemouth had its own dedicated power station that was fed by its own dedicated coal mine(s). The site was so efficient that it had surplus power and that went to The National Grid. Why did Lynemouth go? Well it was immensely profitable and very much its own site - fuel, electricity and nearby shipping terminal for feed products for the aluminium process. Heck it even had its own railway link. Owners could find no reason to close Lynemouth and so they forced closure - Rio Tinto (the owners) actually sabotaged the electricity feed at a main substation on the site - it caused the kilns to cool down and solidify. Once set, it was deemed too costly to remove the hardened aluminium and restart the production there! Lynemouth Power Station now burns American biomass - shipped from the USA and deemed to be green energy FFS! Seems we don't have trees here for biomass. The aluminium smelter is demolished and gone. They propose an eco park there too and housing - it will never happen. Rio Tinto really are an awful corporation.

I worked in that building

[@vivacehome1]

Top Gear Excavator Edition?

[@maxhanes1073]

42 meters God damn that's a good reach

[@unaizilla]

they literally gave that excavator a godzilla roar 2:20

[@jamestalbot1647]

Don’t even need the 3rd guy (the one talking) 😂

[@iceroad416]

I somehow feel a country is shootting themselves in the foot tearing down infrastructure like that. It makes you dependent on others for your needs

[@andrewpredeth7368]

Te be fair it's probably shut due to that reason.. be cheaper over seas

[@stuartluig2911]

"The pecker"? Really? thats all you could think of? Why not just jackhammer like everybody else calls it?

[@c.stafne2356]

Lmao!!!!!

[@harzbushcraft8460]

What you will say if from Hagedorn stay the KMC 1600 on this place? It is the Monster ? He have 250 tons!

[@David-di1gs]

My dads best friend used to operate those cranes

[@switchbranch8411]

Great

[@danwright2300]

Pecker hammer lmaooooo

[@manlikekeylo-g242]

Hem industrial lights are worth 450 each lol missed out on some good coin there

[@Someone-wh8hi]

3:29 326 HP? are you kidding me?

[@pomegranatechannel]

I understand why it might seem like a joke. It's a misconception that more horsepower means more force and more strength. Horsepower means the AMOUNT of energy you spend per unit of TIME, or how fast you apply the force, if you like. Heavy machines like this don't have fast moving parts and they don't need a lot of horsepower, but more force and more torque. On the contrary, fast and high accelerating vehicles like sport cars need more horsepower.

[@carlstevens4981]

You thinking of car horse power, totally different, a big tractor of ours, gave 250 bhp, but it's how the horse power is applied. It's all pure grunt and its alot believe me

[@Train115]

*And Tony*

[@ShootLuckGaming]

6:53 He didnt lock his Controls :P

[@devinhaisma]

Why ever choosing a picker when there is no concrete at all

[@fastbicyclerider7300]

Devin Haisma difference metal

[@devinhaisma]

@@fastbicyclerider7300 I dont know where you're from but where I come from metal is not concrete

[@dannyboy1868]

It’s a point breaker not a picker 😂

[@stevenclark6209]

Great money in scrap..

[@mrsmd4616]

Get home from work and watch people at work. 😥

[@kowalski7086]

So true, I get home from school and watch people at work.

[@davidh266]

Could they ever reuse a building and put it up some where else

[@devinhaisma]

Too expansive

[@jimlondon1]

It's been done before. I know someone who bought a small warehouse that was dismantled, transported and 're erected.

[@joepaullawncare7222]

perfectly good building , been cheaper to remodel, to fit another business , instead wasted a giant industrial non profitable building

[@mini696]

No it isnt.

[@herauthon]

no breathing gear.. ofcourse.. the coal dust pure natural based.. former trees and animals greet us..

[@grannyfrost8341]

Its not like they are in chernobyl. Shut up you fuckhead.

[@kevinwells4086]

What’s Aluminium?

[@adambussert6298]

Kevin Wells light weight metal, do you really not know? Beer cans

[@hollodollo4771]

Nah he probably isn't an adult. Coke cans.

[@hollodollo4771]

It's made of different metals.

[@chrisgroom9299]

Are you from the 🇺🇸kevin wells??? If so THATS what is called in the uk ALUMINIUM not as you call it there👏👏👏🙈🙈👎🏿

[@lordrust9826]

sad that this building couldnt be re purposed

[@samcapstick5629]

Having worked in an aluminium smelter, it’s much easier to demolish the building and rebuild, then to attempt to clean it. We wore full face respirators for a reason.

[@JeffAdairKTM530]

I bet these guys could watch 9/11 videos and see the demo of the buildings in plan sight.

[@deadwest3492]

30 years... privilege and he misses it

[@campervan-john]

Too much drama, he could make catching a bus sound extremely dangerous

[@TSquared2001]

Mothballed?

[@Elldeeve]

No longer required , mothballed

[@fasteddy546]

Get on with it, less yacking

[@tonyjackson3607]

[@magicmart1969]

Such a bloody shame the Germans and Americans should of tried more RTZ what a joke after closer

[@ledston2499]

More UK industry gone!

[@tomqelectronica]

First

[@jordandurham8951]

tomqelectronica 94th

[@GORT70]

Wasn’t profitable anymore…….refused to innovate. That’s one major factor in the death of these mills.

[@CosgroveNotts]

So dramatically boring everytime

[@topherwayne4398]

Signs of a stupid show, when everybody has a nickname including their tools, lame...
