The rescue team armed with XCMG excavators was captained by Xu Kebiao, regional manager of the Excavator Division (Sichuan province), who hurried to the disaster-stricken site alongside 14 team members and operators.

Presently, the road from Chengdu to County Mao had been under control by due authority, with social vehicles limited, only rescue vehicles permissible to pass. XCMG rescue teams had properly prepared the traffic permit for rescue vehicles. As the leader of the rescue team, Xu Kebiao said that they would get to the site at first time despite difficulty. As was predicted, the 6 large scale excavators for the rescue task would arrive at the site by 19:00 pm.

The rescue team with scrapers was led by Cui Jie, deputy general manager of the Scraper Marketing Division, who, leading 2 service vehicles and 7 service staff and bringing relevant equipments and spare parts, had come close to the disaster area one step earlier, and had already contacted the Disaster Relief And Emergency Response Office of Sichuan Province. The 36 XCMG loaders urgently collected from the nearby clients and agents had been summoned and ready, trailers and service staff had been appointed in advance, 36 operators had been in place, so everything was ready for the action order of site rescue.
