Can We Recover This 75,000 POUND Excavator?

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.

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 Жыл бұрын

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 🤷‍♂️

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.
