We have those combos all over California, but this was the best video that explained how they work, transfer, disconnect and re-connect. Thanks for the video!
That's some trailer really cool mate love how they slide together. We call that a wagon and Drag over here. Neet way to get the truck back just fire it over on the Starter.👍🤠
I think he puts it in reverse, then turns the motor off and thr switch he hits on the back of the dump, just kicks the motor over, but didn't start it. Like when you turn the key over, to just kick the crank and cam over to check valves? If I'm explaining that the right way?
@@CONTAINERMAN68 I run one, you put the truck in reverse and you have a kill switch in the cab that shuts off the fuel to the engine so it just bumps the starter which propels the truck backwards into your reach. Pretty fun job. Best part is when kids are around you can act like you are pulling the truck backwards and they get a kick out of it😂
Eric, that's only the ones with this type of trailer. There are other dump trailers that have their own hoist mechanism. I think I've seen 2 trailers + the dump on the tractor, running around in Arizona? The trailers with the hoist mechanism can be seen in front of the dump.
I was waiting to load there at Westlake, and he had already dumped one load, so I caught him on the second load and asked how that worked and made sure that I could record him. He had no problems being recorded and explained everything. This video has so many views on it, I can't believe it! 13,700 views! Yes it's almost 3 year old, but still, it gets more views in a week than some of my current video posts!
Instead of turning opposite of where you want the trailer to go, you just turn the direction you want it to go. But with this type of setup, I don't think you would need to back it up anywhere!
Yep, but you wouldn't need to back the trailer anywhere. That's the point of the transfer dump. It slides into the front dump after it's been emptied, then you empty the trailer box in the same place as the first dump box. Or in a totally different area.
That's slick as sh 👁 t Roy. I wonder how long his starter will last using it to back the truck up? Thank you for the share, it's a very interesting unit.
This is a pretty neat set up. Couple things would need to be modified to meet our standards, but his would be great to get to those tight to get construction sites.
