These machines are a special hardy breed, made for the mountain ride. Reach For The Sky Stretch is a crane and his job is to lift things onto the top of very high buildings. He's attached to a truck so he can drive to jobs. But he's so tall that he has to be taken apart in order to fit through the streets. It takes a friend, Yellow Crane, to help stretch assemble again!
The Mighty Machines are hard at work making tracks from the train yard to the city, and on the highway! It all starts with the tough trains that haul cars and freight across the country.

Some of the machines that work on the farm.
When Jet Girl lands at the airport near the factory, she remembers how she was assembled there. All the parts have to come together and be carefully inspected and tested at each position before the plane moves forward along the line. Does it look like a plane yet?
Railways in the mountains have to be specially built, and the railway was built more than a hundred years ago. The tracks wind up steep inclines, cling to the sides of cliffs and look down into deep canyons. What a sight!
What happens to a car you don't want anymore? It goes to the wrecking yard, then to the scrap yard and finally to the steel mill where it's recycled into different products. Every new car has steel from old cars in it. That's what recycling is all about.
Pipelines carrying oil, gas and other petroleum products are buried underground all over the world. Big excavators dig deep trenches hundreds of kilometres long so that strong Bulldozers can lay the pipe gently into the ground. They work together as a team to get the job done, quickly and safely.
'Slab Hauler' is a big red machine with six huge tires and he guides us around a steel mill, after showing us how he can use his strong pincers to pick up slabs of hot steel and transport them to the slab yards and into the rolling mills. Since he moves around the mill so much, he knows all the machines that work there. He introduces us to 'Dozer' who grooms the hills of crushed coal and 'Scraper', the bottom loading vehicle that transports the coal to the coke
When the job calls for lifting big and heavy objects onto an area where a regular crane can?t reach, like the middle of the roof of a giant warehouse or factory, an AIR CRANE does the job. A Sikorsky helicopter named Gipsy Lady has twin jet engines and very long rotors to manage the heavy weight of the transformers and air conditioning units she flies up and onto the centre of the factory roof.

How do you think earth-moving machines learn to do their jobs? They go to school! It's not easy for Backhoe to dig a tidy trench, and Bulldozer has a difficult time buillding an earth ramp. The Graders, Front-End Loaders and Excavators all need special instructions to do their jobs. And watch out for the Mini-Dozers - they have a good time learning their jobs. Even machines have fun at school.
