This video shows that even the strongest machines can be humbled by nature, but it’s the perseverance and teamwork that turn challenges into triumphs.

Respect for this Job,Volvo/Scania trucks❤❤❤❤

Do you know where I could buy Åkerman H7MB service manual ?

These folks really know how to take care of their possessions and culture. Every one of these trucks look like they just came off the showroom floor. Lots of pride and desire and love for the past the is really incredible. Bravo! ❤❤

Did the excavator take itself back there cause i dont see how a lowboy and tractor could get back there.

Nicely done but they made it super expensive for the Platzer AB company.

Suomen terristä lienee jäljellä ainoastaan nimi. Kaltaisia lienee ainakin 5kpl saman teho ja hintaluokan koneiita. Laatua kyllä löytyy,miten lienee kannattavuuden laita?

Todella Arvokasta

That's a big mud pit😂

The Tow truck is a Beast, What a powerful machine, always clean and ready to go !!

Where was this filmed?

deep shit - is that a technical term in the industry?

Que aburrido 🥱 sonn tus videoss😂😂😂😂

Beautiful trains ❤

Come on, man, this isn't rocket science to know that you don't drive an excavator onto a pool of mud and expect it to stay afloat. If I were this guy's boss, he wouldn't have a job.

Kenapa tidak pakai crane besar atleast 300 ton untuk angkat keluar.

Nice rotary bucket but surprised that the excavator doesn’t have a thumb also. ????

00:08 LOUD

Fabulous teamwork/skill/precision...and horse power... The excavator driver must have had his heart in his mouth as that thing just kept sinking deeper and deeper into that mud. Hate to think how much this cost .

SCANIA.... der Rest ist Behelf!😉

Who had the job of filling the hole in?

Welcome my name is Hicham Im from Maroc and I have 28 years old I want to work with you I have driving licence truck thank you ❤❤❤❤

Well done. I would have gotten into this kind of work but I’m afraid I’d get handed a shovel at some point.

Assistance, Karen!

WOW,..good job,..

Better with the sound off. That over-dramatic talk-over did my head in after 0.3 nanosecs.

Beauty full trucks👍👍♥️

Off Road Recovery could pull this out with a 3/8 rope and a jeep.

What happened to the yahoos who sunk them?

Those underground springs are a bitch. Great rescue. Enjoyed all the different machines at work. Thanks for the video.

Money can fix almost any problem. But you need the skill of a solid man, or many men.

Болтовня за кадром совершенно лишняя.

Euros are so goddamn ignorant.

Great job guys. Despite all the front end damage it was nice to see the Michelin mascot emerge unscathed!

Over. Loaded. No. Brakes. Must. Slow. Down. He. Fall asleep. Not. Normal

who cares what russia thinks. seriously. this is beyond stupid. of course russia should pay in whatever way ukraine thinks is appropriate. gotta love how 'moscow' is complaining when they have attacked a neighbor. what a load of propaganda.

Take your logo off the screen and I’ll watch it.

I write this in english because of all comments. I was the owner of the orange excavator. I was not the operator at the time but I was lucky to survive that night when we tried to get it out of the mud. It’s 6 years ago and I have tried to not think about it. It was the scariest thing I have experienced. But the documentary is well done and I thought it wouldn’t hurt to tell what happened. We had been loading a couple of thousand tons of rocks and dirt from a pile across the road the week before. It was the finish of a big job where we supplied graders and manpower. The contractor was Skanska, one of the worlds biggest construction companies. The very last thing that needed to be done was to remove a temporary gravel road. Just scrape it up and load. I said why not use the 35 ton? It was to big for the job but it was just sitting across the road waiting to be hauled. So that’s what we were doing at the time of the accident. We were not even digging. What nobody knew was that under the turf at just this part of the big property owned by Stockholm city was quick clay. It’s the scariest material you can imagine. Probably simular to quick sand. But nobody knew. Quick clay can be fund in areas that was one time under sea level. It contains salt and if you add water it looses its strength at a point when you have crawled over it a couple of times. It just changes totally. When the operator called me that day he just asked for advice as the machine had got stuck and I told him to give it one try in each direction and then put down the bucket and wait for assistance. It was no big deal. I called in a colleague that owns a huge towtruck just in case. When we arrive later that evening is when we first notice something is not right. The excavator has sunk all the way down to the cab door. We put out 15 timber mats and hook up the towtruck. I rent a 6 ton excavator from a nearby farmer just to clear the tracks and shove down two timber mats under the tracks. It’s getting dark and it’s starting to rain. the plan is to use the bucket to puch backwards and crawl at the same time as the tower pulls. None of us knows that each time I pull a lever the clay goes softer. The heavy rain makes it even worse. All of a sudden the ground under the towtruck gives way and the weight of the excavator starts pulling the towtruck down the hole. The driver cuts the cables with a grinder and runs off. I am in the excavator slowly going down. One of the front windows breaks and mud and water starts filling the cab. I try to open the top window to escape but it opens too little. I get out through the sliding window in the door and climb up on the roof over to the counterweight which is now the only thing really above the mud. I realize I will have to jump qiute far not to end up in the mud and sink. Having jumped i run to our truck and pull the towtruck out of danger. The driver is just as scared as me and he drives away without a word. I take a quick look at the sinking machine with the engine still running and the rain pouring down. I jump in the truck still shaking from fear. I am confident the machine will be gone in the morning. The next day I wake up still shaking. I cant hold the coffemug. I get a call from the jobsite that the mashine has stopped sinking. Information is given from a nearby property that bedrock is 8 meters down. That is the only reason I am still alive. The bucket hit rock 8 meters down just as I crawled out the window. Otherwise I would probably have been buried alive. The rest you can see on the video. The incident took a toll on me personally for a while. There were times when I wondered why Patrik posted this video. There has been times when I wonder what the recovery had been like if I would have still been in the cab. But 6 years later I agree on all comments about both Patriks job and the documentary. It is a reminder for coming generations of the hard working professionals. Thank You for all comments. /Magnus Platzer
