Yes looks very useful, have seen a similar one about 30yrs ago but only 3ft wide doing the footings for 2 large houses, not as heavy duty as the one pictured, the builder said he hired it because there was not an entrance wide enough for a JCB as planning for the gate area had not been submitted, did the job and he took it home every night
