He obviously did it off camera but if you’re loading an excavator like this. Make sure you tuck the stick & bucket all the way so that it won’t hit any overpasses or anything like that.
Would having a checklist to review help someone remember the step to use a height stick? What about something in the cab of the truck or on the equipment? How do you remember to check the height of your load?
Was wondering why you didn’t lower your boom and rest the bucket, so you could release the pressure in the system? Good video detailing the loading aspect though 👍
It can depend on how tight your tracks are. I've seen loose tracks binding up on the cleats going up a float when driving up in reverse. It's usually best to go forwards so the bottom of the tracks are tight and the top is slack. It also makes the machine easier to control
i use to love loading the huge rubber tire scarifying machines, huge balloon tires and chains, 3 inches of each tire would only be on the float at any given time, and all you had was some young dodo driver, that was usless for any help. i use to load and unload the road building excavators, on an off the side, the floats the big paper mill wood lands had were over axle with step beaver tail, drop decks didnt come out until the mid 80's
I would normally drive up the ramps with the bucket tucked in and when I get to the camover point I stop crawling and extend the bucket and stick out, shifting the centre of gravity forward and set the machine onto the deck before crawling into position. I find it safer that way
U can keep the bucket close to the trailer while you're loading, about 2-3 inches, and the break over won't be as bad. Should probably clean your tracks off as well. But nicely done. Just my 2 cents is all.
Gr8 m8 thank you thank you awsome brotha .I like you points coming from me . A first timer to load a 3t digger onto a truck tipper. A good guide for me .
Si entiendo la pregunta, 4 cadenas de grado 70, 3/8" x 44" con ganchos Clevis de 5/16 pulgadas con hardware de montaje. Necesitaría cuatro puntos de empate independientes. Creo que este canal tiene un video. If I understand the question, 4 grade 70, 3/8" x 44" chains with 5/16 inch Clevis Hooks with mounting hardware. You would need four independent tiedown points. I think this channel has another great video on the requirements.
could we go over cleaning off the tracks as much as possible so you don't pepper everybody behind you with rocks, including that state bull with the ticket book?
@@rafaelsandez2815 teach away! I really hate when people want to criticize instead of adding value by sharing your own experience or how you would do it.
@@HeavyMetalLearning sorry if it sounds like criticism im always up to showing people so i can some day hear that i was what got them where they are now. Im in Vegas city of racism against other then whites sad to say. Most people here wont take my advise because im Mexican. Always think twice about yours and everyone else's safety around you. Let me know if you have any questions i would be happy to help. Truck on brother
Fantastic! Thank you for the opportunity to get a Birdseye view and how you talked through the hazard analysis. Do you see a value in writing your hazard analysis down? Would a checklist help someone remember all the things to look for or is it more important that this skill set be memorized? I would recommend that everyone always use wheel chocks, preventing movement should have as many failsafe as possible. Movement during the loading process is a direct contributor to serious injuries and fatalities (SIF). Thanks again for being so safety-focused, great video!
The guy did a good job and looked at his surroundings and observed any potential hazards and didn’t need to go onto the trailer with the boom tucked in as nothing ahead, why make the job harder when you don’t need to? Also it doesn’t really matter what end the cogs are or if it’s backwards or forwards unless you don’t know how to drive a machine and wouldn’t make a difference with the weight. Also when he lowers the boom after loading it usually tucks in at the cab height so won’t be a problem going under any bridges. I’m sure if it was an abnormally huge machine then it would be measured and checked instead of just visually. Anyway everyone has to have their 2 cents 😂 good job, best way to learn is to practice!
Trailers are fucking expensive but why not have a trailer that can carry u load without having it hang off the side 3,4 inches? Is the trailer already big enough for the road without having a permit to have wide load ?

Appreciate the video. I will be doing my first excavator tomorrow morning.
Got to appreciate your time here. How informative was that? Thnx Mike.

When this Excavator Construction Tractor gets towed. The tower is the one who place the tractor on the flat bed or the construction worker?
Hello sir I am from India and I watch all your videos.
Thank you for the education I like it and I'm following you
Very good video! Thank you for taking the time to do it.
Is it best to have the drive gear facing backwards?
Good stuff as usual DP!
Yes...DP rocks!

Yeah, I was expecting to see the bucket resting on the truck's bed to make it real smooth. I mean that's what I do.
Any preference for idles first on or sprockets ?
Idlers
I think drives in rear...but not sure it entirely matters.
Doesn't matter, it loads the same and has no real impact on the machine.

Great video
Thanks for the comment!
@@HeavyMetalLearning got to appreciate people that are spreading information about our industry. You're very welcome my friend.
Well done my friend,well done 😎
Thank you!!! 🙏😊😊😊💛 awesome video!!!
Thanks for the comment!
How can I join the course ?
Thank you
Next I want to see this on a double drop lowbed
I’ll see what we can do!
We have one of those! and you have to rest the bucket on the bed twice to make things smooth... ;)

Hola. Necesito saber las medidas de las cadenas y de los trinquete, para el amarre de una Caterpillar 320.
Gracias.
Si entiendo la pregunta, 4 cadenas de grado 70, 3/8" x 44" con ganchos Clevis de 5/16 pulgadas con hardware de montaje. Necesitaría cuatro puntos de empate independientes. Creo que este canal tiene un video.

Tnx sir nice vlog but for me I loading in trailer I experience to load excavator Komatsu at caterpillar
Di ba kayu hairing boss?

This ^^^^ . He's either cleaning all that gunk off on his deck or he's dumping it on the cars behind him. Other than that.... GREAT INFO
Hill loading: if you have to load on a hill, Truck facing up hill or downhill and why?
Better to nose the truck downhill. This will decrease ramp angle.
Does it matter which end your drive motors are on? I’m thinking not.
DP getting it done 💪🏼
Hellz yeah!
Awesome - always enjoy seeing Dirt Perfect. I watch HML as well but I don't think I'll ever operate heavy machinery. I just find it fascinating :)
Cool...thanks for the comment!
Well I've seen way to many mistakes with his loading. Ive been hauling equipment for 35 yrs and i can teach him a thing or two

i guess to unload is even more challenging, bcoz the operator needs to move in reverse ? =)

Merry Xmas to you as well!!!! (Sorry belated...lol)
Thanks tommorow my first day to put a machine on truck

You forgot to make sure tranny is in front the heaviest part forward.
