great operator, super smooth and consistent. only thing maybe would be to have some of those trucjs come a little closer so you're not reaching so far to dump and possibly become unstable. ideally if it's possible you're supposed to have the edge of the bed of the truck line up with the end of your boom where the stick meets it at. that's just according to the excavation handbook and I think we all know that conditions aren't always in your favor in this line of work. anyway, he's doing great and just wanted to offer a little advice that might make yours or someone elses life a little easier 😎
Saw this a few months back and it's still awesome footage, like to see blasted rock or stone being loaded and handled by the excavator, how many tons or pounds were loaded?? Keep up the good work
The operator starts emptying his bucket, almost before the truck has stopped. He holds the bucket way too high up, before dumping it, so the material slams into the bed of the trailer. The trailer and truck shakes from side to side because of this. You're supposed to fill the bucket with small stones, gravel and dirt first, and dump it sloowly into the bottom of the trailer and have that as a cushion for the next loads, to prevent damage on the trailers bed, kill some of the noise, and prevent extreme wear and tear on the equipment, and also to make sure that the truck driver doesn't suffer any damages, because of this. Let's say he has his coffee cup in his hands, and this amateur dumps the bucket so high that the driver spills his coffee and gets burned. Or there's a big rock that hits the bottom of the trailer so hard, that it creates a huge dent in the bottom. What if there was someone on the side of the trailer, when he dumped the bucket, and they got hit in the head by a rock? What if there was another car on the side of the truck, which got hit from falling rocks? It's all about making the work area as safe as possible, even tho there's heavy machinery there. Health, environment, and safety. In Scandinavia it's called HMS. If I take a bucket of sand and dumps it into the bed, then the next load of rocks has a cushion to land on and then the next load, falls on top of the previous, and it's a lot better for everyone.
Boy, I know how to proper load a truck. You obviously don't either. Who said anything about drinking coffee, while driving? And what's my car, got to do with this? You cannot even write properly. No matter what the trailer is made of: Steel or aluminum, you shall handle it with care, something an amateur like you, have no idea about. Do you have a license for excavator? Oh, wait, don't answer, I know! YOU are the amateur in the machine! Right? You got pissed off because I called you out, and now you're trying to defend your self, buy picking something here, and something there, before trying to make it a truth and win the conversation. Good luck boy!
Oh man, I know these comments are from a year ago but I couldn't resist replying to say what a good laugh I got out of them. You sound like someone who just got out out of one of those "operator schools" lol Just where is this guy going to find sand to pad the bed with? Should he call out and order some? And where do you see anyone walking or driving on the offside of the truck? And in any case, this guy didn't lose so much as a pebble over the side anyway. He's got the bucket down as far as humanly possible in those beds and he lets the loads go out nice and smooth, I didn't see any of those trucks bouncing or shaking around. That's a good operator doing a damn fine job right there
