Menzi Muck M545 digging out a reservoir in Switzerland on a extrem steep slope

The return: This construction site lasted over a week. The whole bottom of the reservoir was removed from the mud. We're going to film Menzi Muck on many construction sites, but that's not our main job. Therefore it was not possible for us to film the climb also, we're sorry. Franco climbed the slope, as he went down, only that the boom is placed uphill. He pulls up the Menzi Muck with the winch and the boom therefore.

Definitely the most impressive drain unclogging I've ever seen.

I swear some companies are releasing machines which are two years of r&d away of being actual mechs. This is genuinely impressive.

nothing more impressive then watching a skilled operator do his thing

I’ve seen one of these doing landscaping of a very steep garden here in Zürich and it’s quite impressive. Kudos to the operator!

I could have watched that for hours. The cost of that machine has to be a crazy amount, but the engineering is awesome.

[AdrianPenny]

this operator has some serious skill. i could watch hours and hours of this.

Franco must have serious self confidence to attempt this, so impressive. I honestly didn't know just how capable these machines are.

That guy must have more controls than a helicopter pilot to be able to control so many different features. Very impressive.

[ilovewood]

Holy cow. This was impressive. The operator is a genius.

[NonnofYobiznes]

That is the most... impressive, complex looking, coolest, strangest looking machine I've seen. It feels like you might need a PhD in mechanics to be able to operate it. Bravo!

[gonyg]

This is one seriously trick piece of Machinary. Absolutely awesome. Envy the guy that actually designed and built this. Next level engineering

[Roblstar]

I am envious of that guys job... What a machine! Plus what an extreme environment to be trusted to work in! Cool!

It's always amazing to see a Muck in operation! Thank you for sharing.

[wildlyoptimistic]

Awesome machine!!! Now I would like to see how it got back out.

[HeavyDutyLegends]

I love how you explain everything so clearly—especially the part at 5:30, it made the process so easy to understand!

[masaharumorimoto]

Fascinating!!! Thanks for showing me a view into a crazy place I've wanted to see for a long time, the bottom of a clogged dam!! Perfect! Thanks again!

[derekturner]

10 of 10 on machine design. 20 of 10 for the operator. Wow.... Like an extension of his body. Simply amazing.

[cymbala]

Kudos to the engineers who designed this machine and kudos to the operator 👏

[WhoWantsToKnow]

Mad respect to the operator Franco
Viele Grüße aus der Umgebung Sttutart!

Franco Capriotti has to be the most amazing operator I have ever seen 👍
