Ever wonder what happens to old heavy equipment that would cost too much to fix?

It gets sent to pakistan where they continue to break it.

Not sure if the crane operator is a few bricks short or just does not give a ****, but its fun to watch.

I thought it just got buried in @mmcmdl 's back yard!

It's amazing what you can do when labor is cheap and you have a "must do" instead of a "can do" attitude.

What I want to see is how they got all that inside the container.

Where's Sally Struthers doing the voiceover? For just 25 cents a day, you can get paid to scurry like dung beetles avoiding being crushed underfoot by an elephant at this Cat rebuild facility...

Don’t forget the disregard for human life.

My thoughts exactly.

Dragging it out by brute force (A crane pulling at a 45* angle?) is one thing, but packing it all into one conex box?

I guess they could have stood it on end and dropped it all in.

I applaud their ingenuity, but cringe at the end results. Sure they “fix” stuff, but I wouldn’t want anything to do with their repairs. Call me first world.

Reminds me of the old circus "clown car"

I wonder how many folks they kill per year...

I agree with all the comments above. Consistently scary activity there. A video of packing the container would have very interesting also.

When they were fitting the wheels, at 7:11 in the video, I think I see a stud, at the 3 o'clock position, that is bent and wouldn't allow the wheel into position. An almost imperceptible cutaway and by 7:13 the wheel slips right on. No doubt the edited out activity was replacing it with a new OEM stud per Caterpillar best practices.

When an excavator expires in that country it becomes feed for the furnace and new machines (I use the term loosely).
