can chimpanzees operate heavy machinery?
I don't have direct experience but my answer to be definitely yes. Chimps are much stronger than human beings and very close to humans in DNA so they obviously can do some basic 'production line' type operations since they are less 'intelligent' than humans.
Likely most any machinery can be adapted to allow most any primate or two year old human or computer to operate, but it would be unwise as occasionally good judgment is required and primates, and two year old humans and computers are quite unpredictable. Neil
