“Duck” Dilemmas – When wheeled excavator work goes wrong
www.earthmoversmagazine.co.uk
from some video I saw that wheeled-excavator-
they are very disabled and have problems with the center of gravity if you are not careful you risk tipping over, I think that if used in the countryside there is a bit of risk especially if the machinery is used as a lifting crane am I wrong?

It technically wasn't mine although I put a decent amount of hours on it, It was Graham Sandercock's. I was working with him but have since gone back to Mecalac UK.
It really depends on how you use the machine, which is the same thing you can say for any excavator really. Mecalac boom geometry helps with lifting stability significantly:“Duck” Dilemmas – When wheeled excavator work goes wrong

Mecalac has an excellent geometry of the arm as a conformation, more than an excavator it would be a multi-tool all-rounder suitable for municipal municipal works road maintenance and landscape maintenance it is essentially an all-rounder. it is clear if you do not know the limit and the potential risk of tipping over depends on the professionalism of the operator and his experience beyond common sense, never take the machine to the limit point of no return.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
great demonstration of how to improve your lift capacity with a VA/TAB boom Adam, not just a Mec ... can do the same with mine (or any VA/TAB equipped machine) - get the boom root in as far as possible, keeping the weight inside the machine's wheel base makes a huge difference to capacity

...... and they're all attributable to stupidity not stability there's 800+kgs of bucket on there at full stretch and the grading beam is about the same ... will do 1100kgs at that free on wheels, cross carriage, 1300kgs in line FOW and 3000kgs at 360 degs with the blade down including a 500kg bucket
this chart is blade only spec. .... somewhere I have a chart for mine with blade and legs ... can add a 1000kgs to most of those weights with blade and legs down ... stability is very much down to the operator
I will say though that the 7t version of that Doosan is like a jelly in the cab
.. not tried the 10t version but would hope its a lot better than the little brother

I love the look of the 10 ton dousan/devlon duck on the big tyres but probably not great on road.

Mec Alex got invited to a Doosan demo session in a quarry abroad, a while back and had a morning on their new 140 duck (IIRC) ... reckoned it was absolutely superb

got it
bear in mind the loading (and reach) is on the lift hook WITH 500 kgs of bucket mounted on the dipper, fully crowded/closed

thank you go engineer leonardo and engineer archimede for having answered my dilemma in a simple and exhaustive way, if you have other additional arguments to conclude the topics I invite you to attach them, greetings and thanks again

Photoshopped
they don't come with wings
the slings don't go around the load
and they should know better than to be lifting without a swivel hook attached to the lift point
all typical Jake hype

What man as done, man can do, what never has,maybe
Of course it’s photoshoped why would you lift a duck to the top a building then decide that a pack of ducting needs lifting onto the next building about 15 foot awayPhotoshopped

I've got one, it's pretty quick on the road, sits at 40 km/h a bit more downhill. It is a bouncy bugger at that speed though

My one will pick up 2 tonne on the forks, and that's with 300kg of tilt hitch on the dipper as well.not the greatest of sources
