you ALWAYS load front wards, not backwards

These jokers went out of business

Whats the bed length on the trailer?

What length dump trailer is that?

Is that a John Deere fork frame? It looks sweet

The mini has to b tied down even if it is in a trailer.

Nice Vid!

you got a cdl? also just fyi...each quarter of the machine needs to a separate contact point...so you need to cut them chains in 1/2 and give each corner its own safety point. at least it should be....is for us

Title should have been “how to flip an excavator”.

Theses ones 💀

Armature hour....safest way my arse....ya can't teach people when you don't have a clue yourself....

Why delete all but two of your video's? Came looking to ses if you guys had a new video only to find almost all video's are gone now

What’s the length of your dump trailer? I’m looking at 35g but I don’t know if it will fit my 14ft dump trailer. It has 3 foot walls as well.

Excellent demo. Thank you.

Keep looking for vids that discuss the ratios of truck/Excavator/trailer weights to steer clear of CDL.

Always block tires on trailer not truck. Stands or not . Some day stands will bend or go through asphalt and away you go . Also dot. Requirements is a separate chain and binder in every corner. Also need to reposition machine, to much weight on truck.

I see an unsecured Load Ticket in your future. That's not the DOT approved method to chain that down.

What dimensions is that dump trailer?

Some of the dumbest securement I've ever seen

Chain working load limit depend on the grade of the chain. The gold chain you are using is grade 70. 5/16" grade 70 chain has a working load limit of 4700 lbs.

Im assuming the hook on the 3/8th chain on the didn’t fit through the d ring but that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to go with a smaller chain, if you take one hook off the chain to run it through the d rings when you put the binder on all you need to do is put one hook on the side without a hook and the other side on the opposite side and it still works the same as using a chain with two hooks. Just an OIT if you didn’t know.

Nice kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6mpZp-Zi8iDqrs

I think you supposed to have for chains driver

Great video That's the way I do it. So much saver backing onto the trailer

What size trailer 12 or 14ft

This seems like way too much force is being applied to the D-rings and they could easily be ripped out of the trailer. I would like to see separate chains and binders at all 4 corners instead of all that force literally trying to rip those rings apart. Think about it. It distributes the force much more evenly. And if one fails going down the road or in panic braking the other 3 firmly hold the machine in place.

I love the 35g I’ve ran one and it’s operates so smooth and good

Great video! What’s the length of the trailer and how much it rate for? 14k or 7k?

Could you do a video on adding the stabilizer jacks in the back? I haven’t figured a good way to do that on my trailer.

Nice video,, very informative.

Good savety

Great info on the foldable binders! I hate the red ones and have been looking for a better option.

Seems a little tongue heavy. But you would know better than me!

Thats a red tag in cali.. have to have 4 points 4 seperate chains and for each blade and bucket/Hoe

I just bought that exact same trailer yesterday, and im looking to buy a mini ex. Funny how this was in my recommended videos. How does your truck pull with the weight?

Been hauling excavators in dump trailers with a flatbed dually for over a decade now and some things I have learned from some old timers and trailer dealers about this method of thinking is that it comes from flat beds and deck over equipment trailers. Dump trailers are built to be loaded rear heavy so they will dump their max load. it’s also necessary to take into account that the trailer gets a good portion of its payload capacity from tongue weight. for instance, a 17.5k trailer will have two 8k axles and gets the remaining 1.5k from the tongue weight of the trailer riding on the hitch of the truck. Meaning that while proper weight displacement is important, it’s easy to overload the intended tongue weight as the trailer is designed to be loaded slightly rear heavy. Load blade forward bucket forward and articulate your boom so that the cutting edge of the bucket is touching the cutting edge of the blade and drive the machine forward until just before the back of the bucket touches the front of the trailer. This will put the cab/tracks/engine of the excavator centered over the axles and the boom and blade forward giving you the correct weight displacement.

Nice but your machine is a little too far forward and is not equally distributed on the dual axles. Makes for a heavy tongue weight.

Curious why load the machine backwards meaning the blade is facing the rear bumper of the trailer? If it's a tongue weight thing your trailer is too small to get the weight you want on the back of your truck I get that. But if it has nothing to do it wait then I believe the correct way to load is blade first meaning the blade is closest to the truck. There's a number of reasons why for this but I think one of the main is if something happens where you lose a ramp break a ramp Bender ramp ramps get stolen whatever if you're a proficient operator you would still be able to get the excavator out of the dump trailer without ramps yeah yeah it's sketchy as poop 💩 but it can be done kind of safely. Lol A second reason is if something is going wrong while unloading you have to boom to help stabilize you on the way out and you have your blade to help stabilize you on the edge of the dump trailer. Another thing you did not discuss was if you have it putting the truck in four wheel drive putting emergency brake on using wheel chocks but anyhow all in all decent video.

I'll get that in there without the ramps.

So much wrong about what you are trying to teach. All I can say, Is at least you are trying. And you don't have a 5-point tiedown. A 5-point tie down is 5 separate chains and straps. The one on the rear is a one-point tie down. The front needs a binder on each side, not one binder. That's also considered a single tie down. The machine has to have 4 points, the blade has to have one, the bucket on the rear has to has one. And drop your chains through the stake pockets and put the chain hook on the upside. That way if the binder breaks the chain doesn't come off.

I’m getting a 35 and my ramps have the same hook styles yours have. You haven’t had any issues with the ramps bending though?

How long are those chains 25ft?

the whole reason you use a dump trailer to move heavy equipment is so that you don't have to spend time chaining down.

Those foldable binders are a game changer

Gotta love that PNW WEATHER BOIIII

Great work, also awesome you guys showed the proper hook points I see a lot of people running chains and straps all over random stuff that can mess up a machine and even loosen up but you guys nailed it.

This was incredibly informative and helpful. Thanks, guys.

The arm is going to wear through the strap at some point because the edge of it

I was wondering why the other videos that I watched, they loaded boom forward, and the C of G of the machine was way back, pretty much over the wheels it looked like. I like this way better.

I can probably guess - but why do you have to also strap down the bucket?
