Stockholm Sweden, Two excavator are stuck in deep mud. An 35 ton heavy excavator was removing a temporary construction road. Halfway done, the excavator sank in the blue clay.
And this, Americans, is how to do a documentary on this sort of thing, no drama, no bullshit, no music, no repeats just genuine action BRAVO
This is the ADVideofilm style :)
ADVideofilm I love well done documentaries without the flash and extra noise, subbing.
Well that's pretty much how it's actually done on any job sites I've worked on. It's only when they try to go "reality tv" style when all that BS starts.If it's being done properly by professionals there shouldn't be any drama. A few things I might have done slightly different but everyone has there own methods and the end result is what counts.
please tell me something i don't already know
I wouldn't call it a documentary. This is just a video from the work site with some narration.. Documentaries typically go on television. TV producers don't want boring things on TV because it doesn't get ratings or viewers. If they don't get good ratings, it means that people aren't watching and advertisers aren't making money and they won't advertise anymore and won't pay for ad space so the show gets cancelled. Videos made for TV are typically a lot different that videos made for the internet.
If you throw in enough excavators there, you have a good foundation.
Hahahahaha!
I'm astonished how close people were standing next to cables under huge loads.
Me too. They should have used shock mats. They're just heavy blankets that dampen the shock if a cable breaks. Keeps them from whipping and protects the people nearby.
Vodka LOL
Even the camera man was standing right in line with the cables on other side to take a death whip if one of those snapped.
Its a good way to be buried in 2 peices.
That 7 ton excavator is nothing for a cable of that size... and usually if a cable or chain breaks it does a straight snap back forwards and backwards rather than to the sides.
I'm impressed that they managed to get James Earl Jones to narrate this.
😂😂👍
lol
All too easy.
Political correctness
I think it's the allstate insurance guy
Well, you watch one video of one being dug out and KZhead finds me one with two stuck.
Now I am wondering what the world record is for the biggest number of stuck machines
@@ThoughtfulAl google will answer soon enough
You too eh
Let me guess: the one where they were digging a pond, right?
Same I watched 1 getting pulled out in America yesterday 😂
This is one of the best videos on KZhead I've seen in a long time. Very nice mixture of audio and video without putting in heavy base music to distract from the subject. Thumbs up! ☺
Agree completely! Unlike this video we Americans seem to always put in horrible intrusive music and this video was a wonderful experience as the sounds of the straining of the equipment is much better.
Exactly, thank you!!
sounded like music to me
@@PacoOtis “Here comes the BOOM”. by P.O.D would have been sweet at the very end though. U gotta admit😂
I'm stating the obvious, but the excavator operator is highly skilled. I've operated heavy equipment my entire career. A rotating bucket is an added skill set beyond a fixed scoop bucket. His finesse is noteworthy but the real tell-tale sign is the speed at which he runs his machine. Very slow and precise. I'm guessing he's got a few grey hairs on his head for sure. Great video
Pure brute force. I use to do heavy recovery back in 1999 . That NATO recovery 6x6 truck is impressive. Having a 60ton rotater wrecker is very handy. All combined is the key for a successful pull with out equipment failure. When there is more contact points on firm ground the greater chance of pulling the excavator out even at a dead pull. Great video and a great recovery.
Thanks!
That guy using the big excavator is really good. He uses that bucket like it's part of his arm
]crime whatch
he definitely earned his pay for the day!
That's the way you get with these encon tiltrotators they are expensive, but if looked after they will save time and money. You can buy them with oil quick couplers so you don't even have to get out of the cab to connect the hydraulics
It is part of him ;)
Excavator operator shows fantastic skill with that rotating bucket
it's actually not a rotating bucket, the excavator is equipped with a rotortilt. almost all excavators in sweden has one kzhead.info/sun/ZriDqNCqcHiea4E/bejne.html
Yes it is fantastic!
Shut up eddie
I was amazed as the precision that operator had. Obviously a very highly skilled operator. Great work all round by the whole team
andyguy0610 Absolutely agree
How does KZhead do it?? Saw this in my "recommended", asked myself why in the world that would be there, clicked anyway, watched the entire video. Left satisfied. AI is taking over.
Gentlemen I take my hat off to you, I used to be involved in recovery but nothing on a scale like that, great video no crap well done
They assess, plan and execute the plan! This kind of rescue is Fascinating, made better by succinct limited narration. Excellent work all the way round. Thank you men.
I found this video by chance and I'm speechless. What incredible skills they used in operating the equipment, like surgeons. Experienced and finely skilled. The gentleman operating the piece of equipment preparing the way to reach the second excavator deserves special praise. Wow. And what great looking and interesting equipment. The simplicity of the film work is well suited to the situation and the editing was excellent. In my opinion. I know nothing about heavy equipment or filmmaking, but I know what I like. Competence. Really well done, everyone. I'm in awe.
even spielburg would have been impressed, who needs cgi? lol
Give this man an Oscar!!!!
That Volvo operator was top notch! Such a handy machine to lay planks like that. I was impressed!
Ive never seen a rotator on a bucket
Anyone else love this guys voice? 30% the reason I watched the whole video.
Sounds like the all state insurance guy
No
Bring back the voice over guy
did a job just like this back in 1995 when a 42 ton Komatsu excavator got stuck in a bowl of jello muskeg. Took us 2 days to get it out! Nice job lads.
.
Blueclay is a true nightmare - the weight, the slipperiness, the density and the suction is so intense. No wonder it often takes lives when there are blueclay slides in populated areas. Impressive rescue. 👍🏼😊

Had an operator bury a 32 ton shantui dozer to the cab in blue clay. Nightmare. Took a 30t Volvo excavator, two more 32 ton Shantui's and couple of 22ton dozers tending and helping to shift it out with a section of anchor chain in 39c heat lol
Wouldn't it make more sense to fill the hole back in with solid material?
I feel like Darth Vader just read me a bed time story about excavators.
Well thank's dude... I just spilled coke all over my damn keyboard!!! xD xD LMFAO
🤣🤣🤣
OMG THANK YOU FOR THE LAUGH!
'The drivers of both were as clumsy as they were stupid'.
10:10
A real stick in the mud...but I stayed and watched every minute, just like I would in real life!
Good for you
Anyone can get stuck, but it takes real skill to get it out. Great job and great video.
Thanks!
Ain't that the truth. It also takes sense and humility to realise you aren't getting out on your own, stop digging and get some winches. I learnt that lesson the hard way.
Dude on that excavator has got skills.
Magnolia LP
That guy is a boss with that excavator. Damn good job
Patrick is a master operator of those machines, never saw a bucket operating like that, it's like he is using his hands he is that perfect 👍
Love to see a bunch of guys figure out a solution to a complex problem. Great job.
yeah u prolly like being in the middle of a circle of dudes getting whacked in the face by their wee wees also

No idea how I got here, but I couldn't stop watching. Great work!!
The speaker sounds like the Arby’s commercial. We have the meats!
it legit probably is the same guy lol
No kidding, now I'm hungry lol!
🤣😂
Your absolutely right!...I thought it was the Allstate insurance guy
Hi my friend Two excavators are stuck in deep clay, thank you for sharing the video I wish you health, success and see you again
Awesome work guys , strangely mezmerising to watch you recover those excavators
That's the best, heaviest-duty pull I've ever seen. Kudos, guys.
I love that 360 degree bucket, would have made my life a lot easier in very many spots!
From 25K dollars.
Owned excavators for 30 years but none with rotating bucket verygood skills hats off mate
I would think the rotating part would make it easier to work he has mad skills I can see that this guy must have been sleeping they should have know better with all that clay all they needed was the excavator and a tow truck thenexcavator is the one that got it out
Don kinzett did you go to Fairfield college nz
Jeff Leblanc ....any chance of some punctuation?
@@jeffleblanc8850 - The narrator already said that as the clay was removed, the excavator sank more. Perhaps having clay around the excavator allowed for buoyancy to prevent it from sinking further. If the water and clay level was lowered, The excavator would put more pressure on the remaining clay that supported it.
i thought that was pretty neat, maybe it's scooping and dipping with stuff like clay?
That swivelling bucket is mesmerizing to watch!! What a versatile tool.
Very nice job done by those guys,and i literally loved the video even more because of the commentary,hats off gentlemen.
There is a heavy equipment sunk in mud and hopefully watching this video will help the team rescue the heavy equipment. This video kept me under lots of suspense. Great video. Thanks for sharing
They likely would have saved a fortune if they had just hired the guy with the Volvo to do the job in the first place! Great operator.
What....lol
You get what you pay for apparently
You think a good operator is expensive? Wait until you get a bad one....
Note to self there is no drama, no bullshit, no music, no repeats just genuine action in Sweden. Got it. You a funny dude @isctony.
Love it, got flak for calling out documentaries for making extra drama that isn't there.
Hello boss? I'm kinda stuck. Do I have a shovel? Sure, but this is a little deeper that that. No, more like the earth just swallowed my ex whole. Well planned and well executed. Amazing the mats held up all the recovery equip without also sinking out of sight. Never had to work in anything like that! Nice job guys!
Wish the Earth would just swallow my Ex whole...
Being Swedish American, this makes me homesick to once again work amongst such men, my kin
Great professional job. A pleasure to watch. No TV just real reality. Great video. Thank you.
That is amazing display of how to operate an excavator
This is what I call Professorial Work . Those guy´s know what to do in a tuff situation .
The sound of tension stress on the cables and chains is horrific in this video! Props to every amazingly skilled persons that were involved.
That is the scaryest job of pulling I have ever seen. Great job guys.
This is team work at it's best. Don't rush the job, slow and steady, really does get the job done. Great, truly great video work too!
Thanks!
Once’s track sink complete it’s like suckyoung takes place I know I Ben there like never got out after that one time I use my bucket feel how souls the ground is only do that once
Reg Sparkes u
One of the best video's i have seen in a long time. amazing job and great to see you back.
Thank you!
Agree with that.
Thanks!
@john jay im surprised they allowed this to happen in the first place, hmmmmm or is this an advert???? who knows?. good skills tho.
Don't know how I got on to videos about excavators getting stuck. I am glad I did. THANK YOU!
Apparently digging out excavators stuck in mud is the new 1,000-degree knife videos on KZhead.
what the heck is a 1,000-degree knife video?
@@joeskis - If you had just typed this in the search bar you would be up to your eyeballs swimming in 1,000-degree knife videos right now.
Great video, fantastic professionalism. Nice to see people who know what they are doing.
@Daniel Kintigh Big burly men with a feminin lisp wearing their wives edible bras and panties.
That guy standing right next to the winch cable operating it has some major stones.
Chip Evans I would be inside that shed under a mattress with a periscope. I was waiting for that thing to snap the whole video
Chip Evans I was thinking the same dam thing!!! You know this, if you've ever seen a cable snap or a chain link let go or a hook pin shear! when you see what an anchor chain at the end of a 1in cable under that much stress can DESTROY! The scary part is HOW FAST SHIT WENT SOUTH!!! Trust me, ZERO reaction time!!
Same here. Great job getting that machine out but any time I see something or someone being lifted there seem to always use the most spindly looking chains or cables.
That truck wasn't doing much of the work...many times I seen the cable was slack. That truck was a piece of cheese anyway....its tires even spun when he was trying to get up on the platform
@AstronomyToday I'm just saying...I don't think that one truck did much of the work....I seen many times that the cable was slack...not doing anything. Overall I don't think it contributed much to the effort and therfore that driver wasn't in much danger of his cable breaking
That tow truck looks like a friggin’ locomotive.
Great job guys, respect from Holland, Swedish power!!👍
feel bad for the first recovery company guy with the little 7 ton excavator that tried to do this job, when you look at what it took in the end to complete it.
hey, sometimes a little picker can do more than a whole lot, if you know what your doing.
somebody once said "never underestimate the capacity of a child with a teaspoon.
he did clear under the excavator
Never give a boy a MAN'S Job
Sad part is the original stuck one probably had to pay the whole bill.
Looks a lot like my backyard in the Spring time. Thanks for the great video, and great job with that mess.
Now this shows what a professional Rescue & Recovery company can do awesome job=)
I watched to see if it started afterwards - There was no happy ending for me just some muddy excavators Thank you for sharing
But couldn't you tell how relieved that poor 35 ton excavator was to get out of that mess? Poor thing! ( ;-) )
my dad logged with swedes in BC,Canada.Some of the best loggers and problem solvers in the woods.they can do everything.Just look at their hockey players
I think we swedes have about the same thougts about the canadians to.
3:29 Those Assistance Karens are much better behaved than the usual sort.
Waiting for the manager.
Wow smart guys I love hard working men and smart good luck to all love ur work 👍♥️
Totally a professional job. The men operating the equipment are honestly, the best of the best
Except for the dude standing right next to the winch rope with 50k pounds (at least) tension in it that would dice him like a minced onion if it failed
Got to say that the Swedes has awesome machines and great skills!
Excellent video, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. What a crew.
The beginning reminded me of something from a Lego city commercial, “hey! Two excavators are stuck in the mud in Lego city!”
Great job guys you are to be complimented on your expertise.
Amazing skill, that "blue clay" is unlike any soil I've seen before so fluid
I have seen it at 6m below.Southwest QC.
Yep, working on a project right now that has some deep seams of blue clay. It has led to many issues. Slips on gradients, getting stuck in, huge ruts, extra time & cost etc. Every machine has been stuck in multiple times
I wish there was a video of the machines getting stuck! .... and then the Operators explaining to the boss what has happened... Very skilful recovery & masses of power. Isn’t Engineering fantastic😎
Those guys must extreme confidence in the cables & chains, I wouldn't be anywhere that close. If you've ever seen a guy cut in two, you'll never forget the sight!
Reading the comments regarding cables snapping, connectors parting, chains being terminally overloaded, I have nearly fifty years of experience with the use of heavy cables, chains and various connectors. I have seldom gotten in trouble due to being careful and working within the safe limits of my equipment. I did once, however, almost lose an eye when a winch part snapped off and hit my face… I was watching a concrete bridge demolition project from what we all assumed was a safe distance when a heavy cable holding a portion of the roadway - which was intended for saving - snapped. It uncoiled partially as it whipped toward those of us watching. What saved us - what saved ME - was a relatively flimsy chain link fence between the cable and us soft human beings. The fence took the load, bent just enough, and dampened the impact of the jagged wire snake. All that hit us was mud kicked up by
No music and no screaming, love the Swede
Brilliant team work, the excavator operator helped big time good job..
Excellent hard work. Sound mind technicians recovered the equipment’s in the best manner. Good job.
The most amazing part of this is the fact that someone was going to build a house on top of this muck.
good foundation and does not matter.....
Not really an issue! Houses have been built in much worse places.
As a grading company owner and a hoe operator, I've dug out a lot of equipment. The guys working for me were told everybody gets stuck sometimes. That's OK but do not bury a machine trying to get out of an impossible situation or you are fired. Those multi-purpose buckets are very cool and the operators are first class. The second recovery crew knew what they were doing and had the right equipment.
if you meane the big machine, i know the guy how drow it.. clay just dissapeard under him. he barly got out..
I swear to God if I didn't go into IT, I would have taken up this job of playing in the dirt all my life!!
Never seen a bucket like that before, very cool. And the little gripper arm on the side of it was icing on the cake!
Impressive job and it only took them 16 minutes.
It must have cost 16 dollars too!
this was not a 16 minute job the camera started stopped many times total elapsed time might have been more than 8 hours or 2 days
@@stevenherrold5955 Yeah, I know, just having a little joke. They certainly did have to work to get that digger out!

The rotating bucket is fantastic , patience and skill always pay off. Henry in the UK
Hi Henry... The brand of that blocket is Engcon a swedish brand from Örnsköldsvik...
bucket
Nice job from the operator of the Volvo he knows what he's doing.
The hardest part is having patience to go slowly...
Maybe not for every operator...
Not if you get paid by the hour.
American voice over- "AT ANY MOMENT IT COULD EXPLODE!"
Or the ground could suddenly open up and swallow the stuck excavator, and pull all the other equipment down with it!
they only do that for tv shows, this wasnt on tv

If you have worked in heavy rescue, that is a daily threat, snapping hardware is deadly.
This clay material must be the quick sand that my childhood cartoons warned me about. :)
Worse - it's Quick Clay. kzhead.info/sun/ZtVmocqGo3eGZ3k/bejne.html The Quick Clay Landslide at Rissa - 1978 It's really, really worth a watch.
Excellent video, great narration! More of these please!! 👍
Thanks! More videos will come up soon!

That swivel bucket is badass!
Excellent job. How it is possible that greater than 10% gave a thumbs down (24K to 2.6K)? To repeat what others have said, it is amazing that so many people were standing so near the cables. The risk made me hold my breath.
Sweden= minimum risk, USA= big risk, Sweden= top notch equipment, USA= not top notch equipment Sweden= very skilled operators. USA= ?? skilled operators

How in the WORLD did the talk Warf's brother Werf into doing the voiceover? Man, that must have been expensive... Werf! Great job!
When the narration kind of cuts out towards the end and it gets tense and i realize these gentlemen are risking life and limb to extraxct this excavator that is so awesome
In the USA, Karen call for assistance, In Sweden, They call Karen for assistance.
The Voiceover is just phantastic!!! :D
I work with and move mats often. That ex driver is DAMN good at that. Very impressive Patrick😂
Think how good he would be if his boss sprang for a grapple!
@@tinknal6449 you cant have both the rotor tilt thing and a "thumb/grapler" that is why they have the grappler on the back
Vídeo muito bom. Mostrando máquinas sendo tiradas de lamaçal, onde parecia ser impossível remover as mesmas, daquele lodo. E o que é mais legal desse filme, é que enquanto está sendo reproduzido, não tem nenhum tipo de música de fundo. Deixando no áudio só os roncos das máquinas e os ruídos das mesmas trabalhando. Parabéns pelo ótimo vídeo. Muito obrigado por postar o mesmo.
The narrator was taking like he'd seen a UFO.
Just another day on the construction site. "Hey! Let's film a documentary on it!"
Narrator sounds like he should have said, “Luke, I am your father, I will help you out...”

Bravo! Thanks so much for the excellent narration and NO music! A very professional video and we thank you for sharing! Best of luck!
Mesmerizing to watch! You can really feel the weight of the equipment
You couldn’t get me to stand anywhere near those cables. That one dude is either very brave, or very stupid.
New subscriber. Great job getting things unstuck and not leaving another machine stuck! It's fun seeing machines from a different countries.
That rotary bucket is the coolest attachment I've ever seen.
