How it works
Three steps, no manual to read. A host is always next to the pit.
Pick your machine
On your console screen, take an excavator, a dump truck, a crane or a forklift. You can switch during the session when a machine frees up.
Drive with the joysticks
Two joysticks and a few buttons: move, turn, lift, tip. One minute to get it, ten to get precise.
Deliver to the depot
Dig, load, carry and unload at the depot. Each delivery pushes the site goal forward on the screens.
The four machines
Excavator
It digs.
Three-joint arm and tipping bucket. It pulls the sand out of the ground and drops it into the trucks. The most requested machine.
Dump truck
It carries.
It parks under the excavator, takes the load, drives to the depot and tips its bed. Fast, but you need to aim right.
Crane
It lifts.
Rotating jib, hook and winch. It moves heavy loads — blocks, beams, containers — over the site.
Forklift
It stacks.
Lift truck with forks. It stacks pallets and feeds the site with materials. Nimble and precise.
The shared goal
The site always has a mission running, shown on four screens: for example “move 40 tonnes to the north depot” or “clear the foundations before the slot ends”. Every station contributes in its own way. Nobody can succeed alone: the excavator needs a truck, the crane needs a forklift preparing pallets.
