The Railroad Pile Driver
Historical Construction Equipment Association (HCEA)
Pile driving was the solution to the problems of building a structurally sound railroad trestle, but adaptations needed to be made to suit the specialized requirements of driving angled piles to form a bent.
Self-propelled railroad pile drivers were built by Industrial Works as early as 1885, as evidenced by this Steam Pile-Driver Car.
Hardware
Lightweight Materials for Heavy Trucks
Continual motivations to reduce overall vehicle weight in on-highway vehicle applications lead to more haulage capability as well as aesthetic and performance benefits.

Truck-Mounted Hydraulic Excavators
Historical Construction Equipment Association (HCEA)
Rubber-tired carriers of cable-operated excavators filled a niche into the 1960s.
This image from a Hein-Werner advertisement illustrates one of the problems faced by a truck-mounted backhoe: When a backhoe has to be moved to continue the trench, the operator has to change cabs twice rather than simply propelling from the excavator cab.
