I pulled one of these for 15 years in US in Utah. Started out hauling uranium ore. We called them wagons, don't see many left mostly transfers ore multi axle pups.
Yeah could have but thats what loader ops get paid to do push spoil up.......... Landfills here in NZ are usually shit holes but thats why they are there for to take shit for land reclamation. I would've driven up face jacked truck in tipped pulled forward popped trailer beside truck load tipped off driven out one rotation heaps of room
Naaki Tahana Yeah Nah the ground there is too unstable to be turning the steers on. Not worth the trouble of being pulled out or tearing up the ground.
Darren Gandy too true first impressions are usually wrong bahahahaha get that a lot here some make the mistake of not seeing what is obviously happening beneath you when ya can feel the ground give way ruts forming even as you put up to face some still persist seen it happen n front of me many a time. Even after a holla on the charlie baker ole mate still keeps going nek minnit stuck cant pull trailer around.
As the loader operator on site I've made it clear to the truckies that placement isn't important. On that ground it's more about not getting stuck. That should be obvious from what I said about not spinning the drives. Different story in winter but that ground is shit when it's hot and dry.
Try tipping in a hole with the trailor then jack knifing the truck in the hole with very little space believe takes some skill i have tried it and takes me two goes he should had tipped closer to the first pile.
Peter Bare theres a quarry in Pokeno NZ that do that pretty much all weather tipping nice metally pad to stay firm on. Back right up to hole tailend hanging over edge digger op gives ya the toot when ya hit the mark tip trailer pull forward jack truck rite to the edge trailer wheels skirting the edge of hole tip and out ya go cuply times Ive seen drivers put trailer wheels too far over edge too far cobber try again lol
