OUCH!!!🤒🤐 D51PXI side unload

None of us like loading or unloading over the side but sometimes you just have to do it. This guy done a good job in unloading. I have seen other so called operators just ram everything.

As an Operating Engineer (IUOE Local 15 38yrs ret) 28 years at Fresh Kills Landfill , 8 years for the NYC Park Dept, 2 yrs out of the hall. There were many times when I had to schlep a machine through the City and parallel park between parked cars and take the machine off the side. I would carry cribbing that I put under the unloading side, and next to the deck, the same height as the deck. Then carefully unload the machine. At Fresh Kills Landfill we had monster trailers 14 feet wide, extreme heavy load, pulled by maxed out Autocars, that we used to move equipment around the dump and locally. The decks on those trailers were steel. We had beam trailers if we needed to move something large off Staten Island. One time there was a fire at our (on site) compost facility. We side loaded 3 Caterpillar D6 LGP's onto one lowboy, and carried all three sidways at one time to the scene of the fire. Then used the machine to fight the fire (with the fire fighters). Zero damage to truck, trailer, or machines.

He wouldn't be doing that if he owned the trailer.

Voided the warranty on that one!

It's a pretty good looking trailer. Won't stay that way with this kind of treatment.

The trailer is not made to be unloaded that way. That’s why the neck of the trailer is made to be removed.

I worked for a company that had one RGT that was set up for side load …it had conveyor belt permanently attached to the centre of the trailer about 12 feet long to rotate the tracks on it …a taper board that went under the unload/loading side plus two 12x12 x36 in elm blocks to protect the side of the trailer…Any one caught not following the procedure was instantly kicking stones…Two of cities that we worked in had a penalty of $5K if you got caught with tracks touching pavement..

For god sakes at least put some blocks down

Guy asked to borrow my truck trailer dozer….. asked if you can unload it from the side…….. said he has a video to show me how it’s done…… pretty sure he was kidding.

My brother drove a lowboy for years for a large construction company. That’s how his boss told him to unload cause time was money.

Time to re-deck the trailer

Sometimes you just have to do whatever it takes to get the job done

I have been working in Australian earthmoving for 7 yrs and I have never seen a trucker ever drop a trailer to unload a machine, we don't have these trailers, hell you could put that dozer on a tilt tray its so small, why not just have smaller wheels and have 8 to an axle like proper heavy haulage trailers, then you can have a full deck from stem to stern... More machines, more attachments, less screwing around and wasting time doing half-baked 'side-loading' maneuvers.

Henkels and Mccoy all day everyday on the pipeline 👍

How about use the trailer as it was designed

No problem !

I have seen someone load and unload a big excavator from the side, sometimes no problem other times he flipped it on it's side😆.

Stop being so dam lazy and unload the dozer properly ! It’s a good thing you don’t work for me you’d be Fired and get the big bill for repairs to the lowbed !! 😡🤬

1st😂🎉

Why don’t you use step frame trailers in the US in the UK that’s all we use much easier
