Years ago at our local A&P show here in Kumeu a digger driver would do something very similar to this but he would get on and off whilst the truck was ambling along in the parade. It was most impressive.
The same could not be said for the syncronised digger dance moves put to music....clever but just not me.

used to load diggers on trucks and transporters in a very similar way, in a previous life, saved mucking around and getting ramps out etc....

Great find CP ......Ive been working with digger /crane / bobcat drivers for the past few years and Ive never seen that .... and Im glad , as my position is sort of OSH based .
Some of the guys Ive seen working would make great helicopter pilots ...... both feet and both hands working in sync , in 2 or 3 dimensions .
I never get sick of watching a 30ton digger ripping a building apart , and then "picking up" one little piece of concrete and throwing it away.

Strange the different work places, I had one ANZ engineer stop for parts , a special job in the weekend for the Classic 737 200 form panels .. made off a 25.4 mm/1 inch balsa sandwich alloy panel , there was only one 1/4 UNEF tap in the shop , rather machine tap them, I soft jawed each one and hand tapped to the required measure , +/- 0.5 of a mil .. .. The aircraft was flying the next morning .

Amazing how intricate details can get how and skilled people are ....
