From this company http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philipp_Holzmann Which river, which building site? The MAN-truck has obviously a West German plate. |

No better shot of the plate of the truck to identify the location? Definitely not North Germany. The river is too small to be the Rhine and it's not the Mosel either (no vineyards on the slope). Maybe from somewhere here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhine%E2%80%93Main%E2%80%93Danube_Canal Not to forget, that this building company never had been a high roller, which was never busy with odd-and-sods-sites |

ah, indeed the Mosel... Maybe I'm too stupid to recognize the vineyards... |

This is definitely a DEMAG BL315. Here is the full movie on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrGpTHl26vY a 10 minutes documentary about Britain and continental Europe growing together. Starting at 02:20 there is a sequence with a couple more cable excavators. A blue Menck with a backhoe, likely an M60, an M90 with a drag shovel and a yellow Menck M60 backhoe. The most obvious characteristics of the BL315 are the door positions to the engine room and access to grease the main winches on the left hand side, the pulley counterweights for clam shell operation and the winch array for the boom. The driver's cabin is modified from the original one which has glass in the lower part as well. I know the BL315 quite well from many pictures, including my dad's and operating one myself, actually quite close to the film's location on the Moselle river. |
