Image 1 / 10

 

‘‘X-Machines' takes a look at the largest and most technologically advanced machines from around the world. Visually stunning, this exciting second series shows how machines work, documenting both the ingenuity of the project management teams, and the skills and expertise of those who operate the machines. Follow the Roadtrain, the world's heaviest road vehicle as it transports a 400 ton electrical transformer across a South African mountain range. Witness the world's most powerful backhoe dredger working round the clock to keep the New York City open for business. Join the crews getting to grips with the newly modified Sea King multi-role helicopter before their deployment to Afghanistan. And explore the work of the fearsome D'Artagnan cutter/suction dredger, as it carves a path through hard, sharp volcanic rock in order to complete a $5 billion project to enlarge the Panama Canal. Fast paced and dramatic, this series takes engineering to a fascinating new level.
