Mighty Machines is a Canadian educational children's television series that teaches about machines and how they work. The show premiered in 1994 airing 39 episodes over three seasons until 2008.


Each Mighty Machines episode focuses on a specific type of heavy equipment or work environment. Machines talk to viewers on screen to explain their jobs. Documentary footage of actual machines in action doing their day-to-day work is presented with voiceovers of the machines addressing the viewers. The children in the audience are invited to follow the machines during a typical day. They explain their abilities and their duties in detail over the course of the episode. Each machine is given its own personality and they often hold conversations with one another as they work. Unlike most documentary-style shows, there is no external narrator.


All of season 1 episodes were done in two formats for the airing: 22-minute full episodes and five-minute excerpts for use as filler.


Mighty Machines was nominated for a Gemini Award in 1996 in the category of "Best Children's Program or Series".


REAR COVER - Volume 5


To the Rescue

"Sambro", the coast guard lifeboat is one of the amazing vessels that can perform rescues in the roughest stormy waters off the seacoast. Today he is showing "Zodiac" how his powerful engines make him ZOOM through the water! "Sambro" and "Zodiac" practice their rescue techniques and recover a "man overboard" before

"Sambro" heads up the coast to have another practice with a Search and Rescue helicopter. "Cormie" the helicopter and his friends at the Search and Rescue base are also rehearsing their skills. Lowering stretchers and baskets down from the sky, they prepare for an exercise with the Coast Guard.


At the Farm

Tractors are the workhorses of farms, and "Allis Tractor," pulling

"Polly the Plough," makes easy work of a big field. When it comes to haying time, "Kubota," the tractor attaches different pieces of equipment. Fast-talking "Haybine" cuts up the hay and leaves it in windrows, and "Baler" uses her special technique to roll the hay into tight bales.


At the Ski Hill

Out on the snow covered ski hills, "Groomer" is checking to make sure the slopes are in top condition for all the skiers who want to enjoy some winter fun. His friends "Gondola Lift" and "Chair Lift," happily carry hundreds of skiers up to the top of the mountain. Once the night falls and the skiers have all left the trails, the Groomers get to work. Riding on their fantastic tracks, they plough mounds of snow onto any bare patches on the ski hills and show us the secrets of the snow making machines!
