85 tonnes from quay to barge

If you've ever wondered how they get big plant and machinery on and of work barges; this 85 tonne monster has just been loaded. Bet the driver carries a spare pair of trousers just in case!!!

It's working in Portsmouth Harbour breaking up the old ammunition jetties. Apparently quite a complex job as the concrete bases are submerged and have to be broken up under water (hence the extra long arm on the "chipper").
