[..YouTube..] I wouldn’t want to haul concrete where you are ’08scionFM’, because it sounds like you have some stupid drivers around there. It’s not brain surgery!!!
[..YouTube..] 96,000 lbs? a yard weighs 4400 lbs and a normal truck holds 10 yards thats 24 tons plus the truck which i dont know. id guess around 10 tons? so that comes out to around 64,000 lbs totall weight here
[..YouTube..] why men works on raining day,,,better wait until dry nice sunny day then working on it
[..YouTube..] That truck weights way more than 10 tons and see the 2 front axles alot more weight and this truck holds more than 10 yards
[..YouTube..] Wrong! That truck easily weighs 50,000lbs. My Oshkosh had an empty weight of 41,000lbs with a CLEAN drum, and had less axels, and only 2 tires/wheels on the tag trailer.Any drivers wish to comment?
[..YouTube..] really? the truck itself weighs that much!? i had no idea what a empty truck weighed
[..YouTube..] youd think the driver would know what he was hauling cuz that looks like a 10 yard drum to me and if it was then i think his weight woulda been around 80,000 pounds
[..YouTube..] That Drums a bit longer guys…13…14 cy
[..YouTube..] 9 m3
[..YouTube..] Good footage – what are those wheels mounted high on the rear of the truck for?
[..YouTube..] xtra support when the truck is fully loaded, you can lower them down hydraulically
[..YouTube..] The description says 96,000 lbs
[..YouTube..] They say in the video it weighs 96k#, which means it’s gotta be over 10 yards. And the drum’s not turning! So when he gets out the fun REALLY starts!
[..YouTube..] Was that the only access in? I see that they have the boom pump set up, how long did it take to retrieve the truck? (I have many questions lol)
[..YouTube..] Wheelie bar.
[..YouTube..] Nice bit of film. Real life footage. The real thing! Nobody hurt. J.
[..YouTube..] if i was the driver of that truck, i would’ve been pissed.
[..YouTube..] holmes 440 to the rescue????????yeeehaaaa
[..YouTube..] Y’know, I didn’t actually look at what was on that truck, but I seem to remember Holmes 440s being a lot smaller, and mounted on one ton trucks. Haven’t seen one in many years, mind you.But then again, it’s not my line of work, so what do I know…
[..YouTube..] @WYZAGUY The tri axle is a Vulcan v100 the other is a Century something something….
[..YouTube..] @karebehr Sounds about right. I drove for another company Lafarge owned…..these trucks haul 10 cubic metres (1.308 yds per meter. A 10 M3 truck is in fact a 13 yd truck. Not sure of tare weight, but a smaller tandem truck with single steer and no booster back axle commonly wigh in at 12T plus. I would guess at least 16-20 tonnes empty.My freind Al is the driver/owner of the green tow truck.
[..YouTube..] Nice Job Al ,, kep up the great work ,cause wimpy wouldnt be handling that one lol …one day il drive a real Wrecker lol
[..YouTube..] woulda took o’hare 7 hrs….
[..YouTube..] There was a scary ‘pop’ sound and the tow truck jumped a little bit at about 4:00. Wild stuff to do this for a living. Cool vid.
[..YouTube..] i? dirve a 10 yard mixer and loaded its 71,000……96,000 seems hard to believe…..
[..YouTube..] whoever put the roadplates down “SACKED”
[..YouTube..] omg the foden 6×6 im learning to drive for the army will pull that out straight away
[..YouTube..] I? no how this guy feels ,do everthing you can for the customer , they they write you up for it . I did push the envelope when i use to drive . Anybody no if ( DRIVERCAM ) got this on tape
[..YouTube..] I? no how this guy feels ,do everthing you can for the customer , they they write you up for it . I did push the envelope when i use to drive . Anybody no if ( DRIVERCAM ) got this on tape
[..YouTube..] theres no way that truck weights that much
[..YouTube..] holy twin steer loaded???? lafarge dont exist here anymore. got bought out by dexters construction
[..YouTube..] Smart thing to do is unload thetruck into a dumster and pull it out with another loaded truck I would have never ordered a tow truck as long as the mixer had power. The load of concrete cost a lot less than a pair of tires rims and all the tow trucks.
[..YouTube..] @cdltpx? Good point, except that it never could have been pulled out without the boom holding the weight on the left side of the truck. What the camera did not show was that the left rear wheels were essentially wedged against the side of the trench, without any real support under them. They would have snagged on coming forward, and probably would have been torn off on just a straight pull from another truck.They were going to dump the concrete out; I don’t know whey they didn’t.
[..YouTube..] @kimchiman1000 We use to back our trucks as far as we could we would bury the axles then unload the truck after unloaded we would use 2 loaded trucks to pull out the stuck truck. The stuck truck would not just sit there there was a driver in the truck with transmission in lowest gear doing his best to walk it out. Sure that axle was buried but it would have walked out in its lowest gear being yanked out by another loaded truck. In the south they would do this to avoid paying for a pump truck.
[..YouTube..] it is the road plate layers problem at this point… What were they thinking???
[..YouTube..] a Holmes 1801? would have pulled it out by itself
[..YouTube..] If the driver of the stuck truck had put down the Bridgemaster rear axle at full hydraulic power two loaded trucks could have pulled him out easily. I have been stuck much worse than that and was pulled out by two loaded mixers. These trucks have extremely low gear ratios in the off road gears. With a lot of throttle they only pull about one to two MPH in Lo-Lo gear. We don’t? need no stinkin’ wreckers we got trucks!!!
[..YouTube..] @kimchiman1000 Best way to prevent further damage to the truck is just to let the professionals handle it. If you watch? after the video there are some still photos. It looks like they did unload the truck via a loader. Our company has there own wench trucks and will use loaded dump trucks to pull us out. We do not use outside tow trucks or allow machinery on the job to pull us out.
[..YouTube..] @kimchiman1000 at 3:52? the v100 heavy is hooked in and starts to load the suspetion but he still doesnt have the outriggers down. is that wrecker such a beast it doesnt need them or is the crowd gathering around Al have him nervous enough to forget. i cant tell….maybe he puts them down after the camera moves away.
[..YouTube..] “Hello Boss?”? I have to report an, uh, AWW SHIT!
[..YouTube..] dip shit ..
[..YouTube..] @cdltpx He can’t unload the truck .When the drum starts to turn to unload it might shake to much and make a bad day worse .
[..YouTube..] @cdltpx Here in NYC they use pumps of all kinds . From massive ones that can place cement over 200 feet , to tow behind pumps that you can use to pump into basements . Anyway? This guy had nothing underneath him . And I think they did the right thing . He could have fallen deeper into that hole . If they would have tried to unload then cowboy it out .
