Best Heavy Equipment Lift for Excavator Undercarriage Repairs

[Billy_Grant]

I’m looking for a good lift setup for doing excavator undercarriage repairs.
Mostly need it for track, roller, idler, and sprocket work.
What are you guys using in your shops or on the jobsite?
I’m trying to find something that’s stable and can handle larger excavators without being a pain to set up.
Any brands or setups you’ve had good luck with?

We’ve always had good luck using a combination of the excavator’s own boom and heavy-duty cribbing. It’s simple, stable, and surprisingly effective for undercarriage work when set up properly. Just make sure everything is securely supported and never rely solely on the hydraulics while working underneath.
