[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 10051, member: 782"] I been around a few different types of remote machines , there was one of those 440 volt Takeuchi concrete demolishtion excavators a few years back that worked by a tethered wire , so as to keep the operator out of harms way , good thing as the roof caved in on top of it while breaking concrete inside a building , ------ one interesting set up that I have seen years ago being used down here inside of oil storage tanks is a remote power pack on a 7 series Bobcat loader , they take the engine out the machine and mount it on a skid with a hydraulic pump with long hydraulic hoses that run in the back of the machine and are plumbed into the hydraulics and are helded up by an antenna looking rod on the rear of the machine , the operator wears what looks like a Kirby Morgan dive mask and has oxygen bottles mounted to the cab , he's in a jump suit with rubber gloves and boots , don't envy him at all , wouldn't even want to try it , there is a swomper who handles the hoses from getting wrapped in the tires at the opening of an access hole cut in the side on gigantic storage tanks at ground level , and they push a real thick black slug of crude oil in the bottom of the tank , which I have seen 3 ft deep , during their clean out operation , ----needles to say working on a machine that is even on the outside the tank during this process is a mess [/QUOTE]
