There is no doubt that hydraulic excavators are versatile machines; they can be utilized for a number of applications. Unfortunately some applications, like the one pictured hereĀ are extremely dangerous. These applications are not approved uses for the machines, yet people still do them. Look at the above photo and comment on the potential hazards associated with using a hydraulic excavator in this manner. What are some other “unapproved” applications for excavators? Finally, if you were asked to perform this task with an excavator, how would you respond? What if it was your supervisor/boss who told you to do this type of task with the machine – what would you say to them?
