This shot was taken somewhere in Ireland, and features a 1.5 ton class Pel-Job Sirius Plus mini excavator being used to lift out a heavy diesel engine from a Sherpa van. The little machine is clearly struggling to cope with the load, so the operator has deployed a couple of mates to stand on the back of the machine for extra ballast.  

I have to say the Digger Blog does not recommend this practice, so please don’t try this out for yourselves!
