Excavator Recovery From Swamp

   / Excavator Recovery From Swamp #12  
I have worked for months at a time off of matts. We equiped ours with a heavy cable loop at the end of the matts, so you could hook it with a bucket tooth. that chain pocket is a pain working in real muddy conditions. To me the conditions in the vidieo hardly warrented using mats at all.

Not to hijack, but this is what is needed when you skew a loaded semi.
Driver sunk a rear wheel and would have flipped if he dumped.
The tow truck cost $500/hr with minimums as well as travel time.

Driver told me that the tow rig cost $500,000.
It is essentially a crane mounted on tracks in the bed plus outriggers.
