Site Maintenance (Claw & Tires)
One of the routine parts of any construction site, is repairing equipment and other maintenance duties. I happen to be at the site when one of the excavators was bringing up a claw to the top of the beach from a different excavator. A forklift grabbed the claw and drove it out to parking area for repairs. I have a short video of this. On another day, I saw the forklift lifting tires into the tracked dump truck. I am not quite sure what the tires were being used for given almost all the vehicles on the site have tracks. The barges have a number of tires hung over the ends and used as fenders. They may have been intended for this purpose.
Video of the claw being brought in by the excavator.
A chain was attached to the claw and hooked to the arm of the excavator.
