mushspeed Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 This is one we did on the docks inside a warehouse storing fragmented scrap.... The trailer was badly fatigued and it was only a matter of time before this happened.... We cut away the damaged ram and rear door .... brought in our mini digger to drag out the rest of the load..... Once the load was out, the back end came really light so it was only the front of the body holding it down, the body had quite a twist in it and it was necessary to lift the front of the body with one crane and winch it across back onto the trailer with the other. As we winched the body in, the trailer came upright on its own we then chained the body down onto the trailer for transportation. Because of the twist in the left in the trailer it was necessary to load about 5 tons of scrap back in the box to get the wheels on the right hand side to touch the ground... Thanks to Elliott for the pics til his phone batteries went flat !! John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecruzllc Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I have recovered many flipped dump trailers in my life, but that one tops the cake. As bad as it is, I would have cut it up for scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
