I dont know how to post this as a link but if you can copy and paste it to your browser it is a video clip of an off road, self propelled, wireless remote, detached placing boom! WTF?

Thanx MANY!

OR THIS ONE, I could ride my motorcycle to the job and have it follow me.... here boy,here boy!

The idea has real potential,  however, the size of it kills it, you would need another heavy plant truck to get it to site. Needs to be built on a narrower crawler chassis to go through gateways , and if its remote then why the need for the  steering wheel and seat? 

Just a waste of money.

It should be in bw and show the first man in flight videas with it, like the clown jumping off the cliff with feathers glued to his arms LOL.

I would put that in the category with a mini placer,not used every day.It's investment wouldn't be justified in the long run.

done plenty of jobs where ground work is  not accessable and you run a stack of hoses off the boom pain in the neck doin columns so not a bad idea cost is obviously a key element though
