Self loading used equipment

I don’t know who it was. It was circulating Facebook a few months back. A buddy sent it to me. The only one I saw first person was the roll off truck that was 16’ tall. Just cruising trough town. He hit every line. I was just waiting for him to pull one down. Never did though. Somehow they all just bounced off.

 

on the loading/unloading deal…

why put a guy with almost no experience running machines versus I guy that runs them all day long?

I can and do load or unload but prefer the machine owners/ users do it while I keep an eye on the mess….just my preference

as far as scrapers go - they are a team sport …..someone else’s team. You know - like the Russian or Chinese team

 

Plus, who in their right mind wants me running their 2 million dollar crane? I did offer, when I was cape Canaveral, to run the crawler that moves the rockets - no joy

 

they really belong on a beam trailers…

 

Those bomags are really narrow between the drums. There is a guy out of Baltimore that had a beam made special just for them. I think you need 37 or 38” width max to get them. I’m sure you could get creative with blocking and probably make something work. But yes a beam would be the best way.

 

yeah, I forgot about those ######## - we booked one on the bigger ones and ended having to load it ona flat deck - it was ugly on the plywood we laid down and ugly on the height - all in all a pain in the buttocks

 

I carry heavy duty plastic sheets on the back of the trailer to lay on the deck.
Haven't had any punch through the deck yet.

Pretty tough stuff.
