A
Rock Hammer
I break up rock so it can be removed to make room for the new building. What am I?
B
Suspended Slab Scaffolding
I am a temporary floor that supports and forms the wet concrete for the floors in ImaginOn! What am I?
C
Tower Crane
I can reach for beams and materials up to 2 10 feet away, then lift it up to 135 feet high. I swing it around and set it in place. What am I?
D
Skid Steer Loader
I do all sorts of jobs: dig, load, push backfill, grade, spread dirt. My small size lets me easily get around to do odd jobs, like carrying stuff away! What am I?
E
Track Excavator
I scoop out dirt and rock and take it to trucks to be hauled away. I have tracks like a tank instead of wheels. What am I?
F
Rough Terrain Crane
When the ground is uneven, my special wheels let me get to objects that need to be lifted and moved. I can lift and move materials as heavy as 60 tons! What am I?
