Building a Lego truck handsfree

Eetu Tyster who works for a JCB dealer in Finland highlighted this clip to me in response to the Case video on Twitter. The video features top Finnish operator Juha-Pekka Peramaki who is at the controls of the Hitachi ZX210W hydraulic excavator that he operates for Virtain Kiinteistopalvelu Oy. The machine is equipped with an Engcon EC30 tiltrotator and a selector grab, which Juha, nicknamed “eagle eye” uses to put together pieces of Lego style building blocks. It’s a skillful display of operating especially when you consider the view he has from the cab and the tiny size of the individual components involved.
