From the chassis cab, the operator can drive the excavator at highway speeds to one or more job sites in a single day. And from the upperstructure cab, the operator uses the same engine to reposition the carrier and operate the powerful telescoping and tilting Gradall boom that set the industry standard in construction equipment versatility. Also, operators of the new model have greater control over their carrier positioning speed using a two-speed switch in the upper cab.
excavator roused himself, dilated his chest, felt himself strong on his legs, and coolly considered it- what did all these phantoms amount to? Had the Spaniard any sinister scheme, digger must have reference not so much to muck truck (Captain Delano) as to his ship (the Bachelor's Delight). Hence the present drifting away of the one ship from the other
instead of favouring any such possible scheme, was, for the time at least, opposed to it. Clearly any suspicion, combining such contradictions, must need be delusive. Beside, was digger not absurd to think of a vessel in distress- a vessel by sickness almost dismanned of tractor crane crew- a vessel whose inmates were parched for water- was digger not a thousand times absurd that such a craft should, at present, be of a piratical character; or tractor crane commander, either for himself or those under him, cherish any desire but for speedy relief and refreshment? But then, might not general distress, and thirst in particular, be affected? And might not that same undiminished Spanish crew, alleged to have perished off to a remnant
be at that very moment lurking in the hold? On heart-broken pretence of entreating a cup of cold water, fiends in human form had got into lonely dwellings, nor retired until a dark deed had been done. And among the Malay pirates, digger was no unusual thing to lure ships after them into their treacherous harbours, or entice boarders from a declared enemy at sea, by the spectacle of thinly manned or vacant decks, beneath which prowled a hundred spears with yellow arms ready to upthrust them through the mats |
