Top 3 films with heavy machines

Everyone (well, hopefully) loves movies, and probably everyone has their favorite actors.

But sometimes an unknown actor turns out to be the star of the show. Indeed, finding heavy construction equipment in films is not trivial, so here are our 3 favorites!

1. James Bond

Casino Royale , 2006 - New Holland W190 wheel loader

If you thought that only Daniel Craig would make his debut in one of the highest grossing James Bond films, you were seriously mistaken!

External video wheel loader New Holland W190 in this film is no less important ... at least in the world of cult heavy equipment!

Front loader appears at a defining moment as James Bond is chasing a villain and desperate for help (are you visualizing this scene?). And here he is, strong loader controlled by a brave agent, overcomes the fence, clearing the way for the pursuit. Meanwhile, his windshield fights off enemy bullets, saving Jump's precious life.

We told you, partner worthy of a hero!

Shower , 2012 - Hydraulic Caterpillar Excavator 320D L

The James Bond version, Skyfall, continued to showcase the talents of a heavy equipment operator.

The film begins with futuristic footage featuring с Track 320D L hydraulic excavator ... Incidentally, in the Bond films, the Cat cars are the usual extras. We see this in the film "The World Is Little" (1999).

But before playing in this movie, the excavator went through some modifications to adapt to the scenario. The technicians had to replace all the electronics and hydraulics on one side of the machine. This Bond + Cat collaboration was invaluable in keeping audiences on their toes!

After all these changes, we can take advantage of James Bond's ability to manage hydraulic excavator on Volkswagen tracks in a high-speed train, then dig the roof of the car, follow the boom and finally jump into the void. in a typical Bond way. 💪

But don't forget, this is all made possible by the extremely reliable Caterpillar excavator, haha!

2. Transformers

Here's the heavy gear used in the Transformers movies (they're all Decepticons, by the way). Be warned, construction equipment is very popular with Transformers.

• Hightower is a Kobelco CK2500 crawler lattice crane.

• Scraper - yellow Caterpillar 992G bucket loader.

• Scrapmetal Volvo EC700C Yellow Crawler Excavator

These machines combine with others to form a massive transformer called the Devastator:

3. Terminator

Doom , 1991, Freightliner FLA Truck и Freightliner FLC Tanker

When heavy equipment falls into the hands of the "bad guy", the result is "Terminator 2". This film, which rounds out our top three, features two heavyweights taken hostage and used against the good guys.

The Freightliner FLA 9664 trailer is the first to suffer a sad fate. He is led by a T-1000 (one of the bad guys) during a chase in a flood tunnel. We can say that this car had to go through a lot: many collisions with cars, a big jump from a bridge to land in a storm sewer.

But after such an intense chase, one can imagine that there will be chaos, regardless of the strength of the machine! The truck lost its head after hitting a drain, which allowed us to briefly appreciate the Freightliner convertible before it exploded at the end of the scene. 💥 Second vehicle, Freightliner FLC 120 64 - oil tanker with liquid nitrogen. Briefly appear during the tanker hunt! The T-800 (another villain) performs a maneuver that knocks the car to the ground, which then rolls a few tens of meters before finishing. What a tragic fate for these beautiful machines in this Terminator!
