【HaiChuan Discussion】Can excavators really lift heavy objects?

Could it be put differently? If conditions permit, it’s likely that the vast majority would do this instead of renting a crane specifically

Personally, I think it’s possible, provided that certain safety measures are taken. Excavators are generally used for digging earth and rock. One of the tasks involved in excavation is to remove the dug earth and rock from their original location; they also serve to lift and transport materials. So, it can lift heavy objects, of course, not exceeding its lifting capacity. Unfortunately, no standards or operator manuals for excavators can be found to prove this at the moment

Lifting with a hook: When a excavator is used to lift items, the bucket is employed to lift the heavy objects, but most experienced operators prefer to hang them directly on the bucket teeth for lifting. However, when lifting in this way, if the two arms are raised too high, it is easy for them to fall off.

I checked the information – it might work or it might not. Excavators already have lifting capabilities, but they must not be overloaded. Additionally, there are specific requirements regarding the lifting points, and this was not taken into account when using the machine on the construction site. There were too many digging teeth in use, which is a violation of the rules. In fact, the excavator itself can serve as a platform for carrying out various tasks, by simply attaching different attachments to it
