Some of our towing friends called for help in recovering a Kobelco SK260 excavator that was buried in mud on a demolition site. We took our ‪@NRCIndustries‬ 50 ton rotator to work with the Keller boys in muscling this beast out of the sink hole.

​@@greatunz67 The grab isnt dangling, its connected to the bucket linkage. Though indeed a long front digger lacks the crowd force of a standard excavator, required to pull itself out.

No Mats! *sigh* He may not have a smaller excavator but not wood mats he gets to pay for. Even looks like he tore out some sidewalk that wasn't necessary.

That really couldn’t have gone any better. A track under mud might as well be a concrete block. I’m sure she is at least 30 tonne by the extra counterweight on the top. And a long reach with a grab really isn’t getting itself out. I hope it is a really light wooden house, because that ground is only good for a fish pond. :D

​@@WilcoxGarageRecovery the operator (contractor) of the excavator had the ability to swing his boom 180 degree's and push himself out. Sink hole or not this excavator (290) has the power to do that. Your services would not had been necessarily if the contractor had a knowledgeable operator to begin with. A 290 excavator is too big for that lot & no reason it was in the dirt to begin with. It has enough reach to do anything right from the street. Which is why I complimented you (Wilcox Garage) at least you all know what your doing.

I wonder about the comments about the wrong size excavator and that recovery by tow truck would not have been mandatory. Everyone is free to use a larger and available device, especially for the demolition of the upper floors a longer version can be useful. There is no shame in getting help before you damage the excavator in your own recovery attempts. By the way, my first thought was that this would be a good job for the legendary Al Quiring.
@WilcoxGarageRecovery
@WilcoxGarageRecovery Год назад
Thank you, that was one of the more intelligent, thoughtful comments we've had! The machine looked fairly new and not all torn up, so correct, why not pay someone to help safely get a several hundred thousand dollar machine out? As far as the demo side of things, we have no expertise in that field. Maybe the machine was closer to this site and it logistically made more sense to bring in the large machine vs. a smaller one. Who knows 🤷‍♂️

That was actually our plan once it got out of the hole enough to be able to swing. We ended up opting against it because the tail swing on the excavator would have not allowed any room for the winch angle from the rotator.

That machine would chew a house and foundation up in a hurry! Although we didn't ask, our thought was that the house was torn down a day or so prior, and it was left parked there until it was supposed to be picked up. We had a day full of rain the day before, so maybe it got stuck then once the ground was saturated. Still, not 100% sure...

the stick on that excavator is more for ditch cleaning , not even half open and its stretching from one end of the lot to the next,

Only thing missing in your video was the dozen or so wide eyed little neighbourhood boys watching you guys pull that thing out of the mud 😹😸 guess you were in the Senior citizens quarter ? and you got it out with a lot less shenanigans than Dave Sparks and his crew ever could 😸😺/ nice work 👍

Thank you, and we must have been! If you look in the video close enough, I think you can see an older lady watching from her screen door at the back corner of the excavator. Dave Sparks sure knows how to have his share of fun though too 😂

I’m pretty sure a real excavator operator could have gotten himself out with out a tow truck.

How did they even transport that thing into the community, the length of it is insane for the job.

Thought about that after the fact, which it would have been fairly simple to hook a mic setup to them. Thanks for the feedback!

Just a dumb question , why was a reach like that , that far in on the lot
@WilcoxGarageRecovery
@WilcoxGarageRecovery Год назад
To be completely honest, have no idea! We thought that maybe they parked it there overnight and then got all the rain. Either way, it sure made the excavator sink!

signs of a very inexperienced operator.. why use a long reach in a tightly packed residential neighborhood? But since you had it, why did they feel the need to drive it anywhere? it could tear down half a block without moving.. But you guys made the recovery look easy, well done.

@@greatunz67 neither did the "operator" who was in it bringing it out. The original dude and the one driving it out would have been EX-employees of the company I work for. And yes, been operating all kinds/sizes of excavators for over 45 years.

how do you know when the winches are overloaded or will they just stop pulling ?
@WilcoxGarageRecovery
@WilcoxGarageRecovery Год назад
You shouldn't, and usually will never overload the winch, especially if you are rigged correctly. The rotator has 40K lb winch capacity, but the 3/4" line is roughly 15k lb working load limit. We do a rough estimate and conservatively rig a 3 part line with snatchblocks to increase our working limit, which would have more than enough power to pull the rotator over if not careful.
