Looks like someone had too call for a crane there.

What in the heck are they using a machine that size that machine belongs in a mine where the ground is hard as a rock.

Damn, they are gonna need a couple of 11's to pull that one out :bash

From what I've heard on other sites. It was on a barg for transport and either slipped off during transport or off loading. They had to bring in a barg crane to get it out. Still a shame, the bucket didn't even lose any paint yet.

It looks like they had maybe five dozers on it, you can see 4 in the last shot.

Did you see the next page? They lifted up with a crane on a barge.

Looks like they tried one D11, D10, D375A and maybe a D9... hard to tell

Yeah, not sure on what sizes, but it looks to me like they used the dozers as a anchor so the excavator won't slide back into the water. I could be wrong though.

I can't get RonG's link to work. It looks a lot like a similar incident that I witnessed in Borneo Indonesia but as I am unable to read the link i'd only be guessing.

If you log on to the new board and search the archives it might show up.Ron G
