The smaller stones weighing 1 to 3 tons each are being delivered to the jetty construction site by dump truck. Mixed into the load are some even smaller stone chunks. The excavator can move the 1 to 3 ton pieces with the claw. The really small pieces need to be picked up by the front end loader. The small 1 to 3 ton boulders will be used to repair an existing section of the jetty near the beach. Work has begun on that section. The heavier 8 to 19 ton stones will be used on sections of the jetty which take the brunt of the fierce northeaster winter storms and occasional hurricane.
Front end loaders gets an "assist" from the excavator.
