Extreme Salvage Squad

The team is called in to move a 20-tonne excavator that has been bogged for months. The team face high stakes in a time-dependent retrieval of an old vessel.

With a budget of $15,000 for two days' work, the team try to remove two stolen vehicles from an old mine site, a task that involves a lot of moving parts.

Team Salvage are tasked with refloating a pre-World War II boat, but on the way to the site, team leader Luke receives an emergency SOS about another mission.

The team is responding to a farm SOS: a skid loader has slid into a dam, and is buried deep in mud. Job two is an extreme helicopter salvage mission, and the team needs to access a protected nature reserve to remove a toxic vessel.

The team is driving to Kalgoorlie, the gold-mining capital of Australia, to salvage a 10-tonne gold dry-blower that has been sitting idle for months and is costing its owner hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue. With the price of gold skyrocketing, the owner wants to get the blower repaired and back out onto the goldfields, but it is stuck in the middle of nowhere. The team has one day and a budget of $20,000 to retrieve the money-making gold machine.

The team has been given just two days and a $20,000 budget to remove a 10-metre steel-hulled yacht from Cockburn Beach in Western Australia. The problem is the boat is buried deep in the sand, and it's a danger to beach-goers. Heavy machinery specialist Ryan is going to use his monster excavator to try and get the job done, but there's a catch: to make the budget work, Luke needs Ryan to be done and dusted in 24 hours.
