Construction workers go to war in ridiculous frontend loader fight

You haven’t had a proper work dispute until you’ve been in the thick of a frontend loader battle royal.

Video recorded in China on Saturday shows a group of construction workers going toe-to-toe (or shovel-to-shovel) with a collection of loaders on a city street.

The hydraulic showdown reportedly began when workers from two different construction companies decided to compete for business in the most literal way possible.


In the video, loaders can be seen toppling onto their sides, colliding head on or attempting to right fallen comrades.

At one point a driver can be seen running from his vehicle, as dust clouds rise around the construction site turned battlefield.

A local government spokesman in Hebei province’s Xingtang county would not reveal how many arrests had been made, or what injuries may have been incurred, but confirmed the machinery meltdown was the result of a construction industry turf skirmish.

It is believed two people were injured and six machines damaged in the brawl.
