Dumping while Not Level

Have not seen but a couple side dumps dumping . they were dumping rock off of road down the hill . looks scary but I guess as long as the trailer is on level ground and the rock rolls out easy it should not flip over

 

60'x6" snatch strap rated (I believe) at 60,000 lbs or one heck of a chain. Saved my butt several times.

 

Side dumps and belly dumps both have push blocks on the back just for the purpose of pushing out a stuck truck. Now an A-train set you do not want to push, the dolly tongue will fold up like a wet paper towel.

 

Trying dumping off with a trailer that's hinge points and bushings on the ram are just about wore out...My trailer at my new job has lived a bit of a hard life I think with guys driving around with the box still up beating of the hinges and stuff.. There's been a few times I know i've been level but the box has slid one way or another and the dog house rides up the ram and gives the illusion that's your off.... Little scary, not knowing how much pressure is actually getting put on that cylinder...
