How much can a 1 ton excavator really lift?

Hello and welcome to the JoyT5 TH-cam channel!
In today's video we will be conducting a lift test of our gasoline 1 ton YardHoe YH12 Mini Excavator.
We do this by having the excavator exert force against a crane scale that is attached to an anchor. This allows us to measure the maximum force that can be applied by the excavator before it reaches it's operational limit (or the excavator tips over).
Hopefully, this gives you guys a rough understanding of wat to expect from an imported 1 Ton machine, and if this machine will be the right tool for the project you have in mind.
All machines shown are imported and inspected by JoyT5 prior to reaching our customers.
We are North America's first officially licensed dealer of Rippa Machinery, which produces about 1/3 of the imported machinery which finds it's way into Canada and the United States.

Great video! Thanks for posting.
Even if they are tippy at full reach I’m still really surprised all the work that can be done with these simple machines. Take care 😊👍

Thank you for the comment. We are glad that you like it :)
For sure. It is a great little machine, and we were impressed with what it can do when lifting in front of the blade.
We also filmed a walk around video that will be posted soon.

I've been enjoying your videos, and am glad to hear you now have a dealer in the states. These little machines, while handy, could really get a guy in trouble.

Thank you for your support and for following our videos! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying our content.
You're absolutely right about these YH12 / Rippa 319 machines - they're incredibly handy but require responsible use. As with any machinery, safety should be the top priority
JoyT5 is growing and now can service customers through out United States and Canada

Big help thank you

[@JoyT5]

Thank you. We are happy to help.
We will be doing more lift tests with other machines as well :)

Could you ad weight to the rear of the machine? Idk how much it would help but big machines have counter weights

[@JoyT5]

@kwadlife4106
Factory does not offer additional counterweight option. Having said that, everything is possible. You would just need to make it yourself

Those little things aren't fit to pick your nose 😅😅

This is a great machine but it has its limits. If you need a bigger machine, check out a lift test with 6 ton JT5600 excavator: th-cam.com/video/HysX1XOgGLE/w-d-xo.html
