Those of you who have played HalfLife two will be familiar with the
giant thumper machines they use to keep the antlions at bay. Well the
other day, I drove through a building site, and they had a machine
exactly like this. Same size and everything. (Although it was yellow
rather than black.) What in the name of God...?

Sampe working principle, too - except that instead of driving off
antlions, they drive stuff into the earth. Typically steel piles for a
retaining wall.
They're usually mobile though.
