Merry Liftmas

This is a Sennebogen 608 telehandler, which is used to lift things and people to and from high places. And its maker Ralph Savelsberg has absolutely missed a Christmas trick by not building a Christmas tree for it to place a star atop. Still, despite the festive omission it is a brilliant build, and includes interchangeable attachments on the extending and elevating boom, deployable stabiliser legs, and some excellent replica decals. You can reach for more images at Ralph’s photostream, where you can take a look at it not placing a star atop a Christmas tree via the link above.

This funky looking arrangement is a Sennebogen 821, with its electromagnet poised over a container full of scrap metal. It’s a good thing we don’t work in a metal recycling yard because we would be so irresponsible with a giant magnet, but the driver of this one appears to be very sensible. Ricecracker is the builder and there’s more to see on Flickr via the link.
