Dude WTF happened?

uprighting a sideways 740 with a 345D L he was lucky to be able to keep the tractor on the road theres about a 4 ft verticle drop and then 3:1 the rest of the way down

[@carmelpule6954]

I would like to congratulate the man in the machine doing the rescue. He is very knowledgeable as to the sequence of events. He first pulled the other machine up rotating it to critical position to balance it and then when over she went he quickly moved his bucket to the other side so that he would stop the rescued machine from going over to the other side sue to the pneumatic tyres. He simply killed the momentum with is own machine. A good man indeed. He deserved compensation with a dozen bottles of beers at the local pub.

[@heuhen]

XjordanAIR ! well it happens very often, with these machines. since they are build to do so, you can call it an safety system. (instead for destroying the entire truck...)

[@SlayerofFiction]

XjordanAIR ! Yes, these trucks are designed to "break" like this, so the dump box will tip therefore keeping the cab upright, Replace a few bolts and they are back on the road!

[@dvepps6780]

Ahem, hopefully a strong Union, job security, and benefits will come along with those beers.

I was glad to see the fool in the "Front Loader" at the base of the incline finally decided to get out of the fricking way as his buddy was backing down the grade.

[@kellypenrod3034]

Good job settin the 40ton wigglewagon back on her wheels there big04!! Thats as smooth as I ever saw it done hand!

[@zeroc0ol2006]

In our stripmine near Helmstedt (Germany) one guy was killed in a truck that was standing still on the ground. He only unloaded his sand but because of the shitty underground his truck had fallen over... he felt out of the truck and the truck fell on him.... A great invention such a belt, if he was wearing one he would be still alive.

[@SarraPiyopiyo]

Awesome. I've always wanted to learn how to operate heavy machinery, especially after they brought in a front loader to work to help with building a new building (mostly ripping out concrete and pavement to replace it).

[@big04cummins]

Oh really sounds like the voice of experience and if you can knock a hole in the side of these trucks standing it up empty you've got no business running it in the first place

[@Tiger313NL]

That road looks rather narrow, and I think once she goes over, there's no way you can hold it on there. If no one got seriously hurt, it's all good if you ask me. :)

[@cyberigs]

Looks like he was heading away from camera direction, the road gave way on the right, trailer went down, tipped and dragged the cab back. But I don't know really!

[@Hugofreddie]

Have done this often . That's why they are articulated in the middle . These trucks go anywhere and will take incredible punishment .

[@workharder590]

This happened to us at work once before. It is kind of a common problem with these type of dump units. We did the same thing.....use a track hoe to get it back on its wheels then back to work.

[@stephenlesliewright895]

These guys get to play all day with these fabulous toys, and they get paid for it.

[@onebadapple76]

Always heard these types of trucks called "wiggle wagons".

[@wordreet]

Was the 740 at an oblique angle to the top of the slope? That could have done it.

[@big04cummins]

@2009deerejohn thanks! yeah they tell us to run hard but don't tear anything up I'm glad we have this 45 cause I don't think the 330 Deere would've reached

[@thegeforce6625]

60fps in 2012? or has youtube converted old videos recorded in 60 but uploaded in 30 back to 60fps?

we all need to pray for this driver.

[@slimwadey3a]

This happened to me with a MOXY quite a few years ago, i spent a summer haulin dirt, great fun racing these around the site WAAAYYYYY before health and safety took over the world

[@tilligetbig]

holy crap that thing has great articulation!!

[@OldMotorcycleAdventures]

You done scratched the paint! lol good video

[@Xenthera]

lol "we're not gonna let the boss know about this one right guys?"

[@TheReaper1oo]

Seems fine to me, granted a few more scratches, but better than messing with the tires/suspension or leaving it there. "site specifics" are difficult to ascertain from video alone, but what can be done? Overall a well handled difficulty - I have experience in other areas not this one so I'm just "saying" as I see it.

[@GeneralGiggleMuffin]

Thanks for the reply. Do you enjoy it personally?

[@randyhagler2772]

thank god those beds are made to do that I took a trip down the hill backwards with an a25c volvo You would think when you loose air psi the brakes would lock down like a big truck but once you lose air you cant even try to drive out of a roll away because you lose transmisssion to those trucks are very un safe designed.

[@SlayerofFiction]

I saw one run out of fuel and have to force a turn over (box) to keep from going over one hell of an edge, the breaks should automatically apply PERIOD. The rest of the design of those trucks is brilliant so I am a bit confused how they fucked this one.

[@kruptstar]

we run the Komatu HM350's hard alot... and have flipped them, the part that CAT seems to have right is the exhaust pipe... on the Komatsu's the damn flex pipe and bracket breaks when they roll the body and its a $1000 fix lol. I have videos of this on my channel.

[@MurderCrowAwdio]

Now that's a sticky situation! allways nice to have an excavator around!

[@ej20daZe]

how did he manage to do that? he was trying to get down in reverse or to maneuver?

[@pizzasubs]

Thats a real twisted truck there, the front totally upright, but the back part on it's side, really wonder if anything actually broke in the Middle of it?????

[@michaeljames7810]

I've seen it happen plenty of times and no damage at all although if the truck is tipping and it copes the Hydraulic rams can me bent

[@wspycher1006]

And I know the volvos if you don't line it up properly you can wren I the flange for the exauhst for the the box heater

[@msotil]

The truck is not twisted. It is articulated, designed for heavy off-road work.

[@jollyroger2012]

as msotil said, these are rock wagons, articulated. they're designed to not have any damage when this happens. and it happens on an almost regular basis.

[@AChap52]

they are designed to rotate like that to prevent a complete roll over....

[@GeneralPurposeVehicl]

The truck wanted a belly rub.

[@godsbong]

Looks like someone tried to do some offroading!

This is what happens when you "HotRod" in a NOT hotrod.

[@wingofunny]

looks like the dirt road shifted that he was on, causing said accident. it happens.

[@strakill]

Did that look like a truck to you? Most trucks don't have a bucket.

[@kiakingofcars]

they are designed to flip like that and leave the cab upright

[@cfactorstout]

[@big04cummins]

I am fully aware it's an excavator as I'm running the one in the vid...

[@JodianGaming]

How the frig did it flip, ground give way?

[@ThedoubleDbeard69]

overloaded on one side as the road was lower on that side

[@JodianGaming]

Dylan Dunlap ... That would certainly do it, but didn't look like much of a pile where it was flipped.

[@cubbiotti1980]

Looks like someone is going to get a pee test lol

[@taiming71]

why you use Mr miracles track grease of course. LOL

i thought it was the dump i use to work at must be comin thing with articulating dump trucks

Shit happens. At least no major damage except for the ego of the driver.

[@someman7]

I bet if their employer was allowed to kill them on the spot, this wouldn't happen.

if it falls onto an oncoming train...

[@GettingMangled]

i was being completely sarcastic the kid obviously doesn't know heavy equipment can only be greased at grease points.

[@amp32ak]

Great video! Three minutes start to finish. We (field people) have been trying to make our office people understand that a dumped box on a rock truck is not the same as a "roll over". It isn't exactly common but, from time to time it does happen and when it has occurred the office panics and sets out on a witch hunt in an effort to assign blame. We just haven't been able to get it through their thick heads that these trucks are designed to do this and that, if you run a rock truck for very long, sooner or later, you WILL tip your box. Kind of like walking - sooner or later you will trip on something. Hopefully this helps because drawing pictures didn't work at all. I think wearing a tie must cut off the blood supply to the brain or something.

[@lopz2557]

You just got to love those cats I cant believe that the guy or guys that designed this truck knew that some Genius would do something like this and still it not only didn't kill the operator but survived with little or no damage to it Got to love those cats

[@big04cummins]

lol. I catch a lot of negative comments however the people that usually leave them have no idea what they are talking about...

[@intheworkseg6]

wow you should get an award for be the first person to ever say they are real young and can do what an adult does...Congrats to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@trucking604]

I used to drive the same exact Cat 740 in a landfill years ago. We had a handful of those articulated Cat 740's, we also had a couple of Moxy articulated off roaders as well. I think they were Swedish. We also had a straight Euclid with a V16 Detroit. It was a lot wider then the Cat or Moxy. I always liked driving the Euc better, much easier backing up then the articulated vehicles. Although the Cat and Moxy were very capable off road, even in sand.

[@big04cummins]

Grease my tracks? I wasn't aware that they could be greased. Why don't you enlighten me on just how exactly that process takes place.

[@big04cummins]

Well I guess you can "throw grease on anything" but whats the point of wasting grease. You can't put grease on track rails and expect them to stop squeaking because its not getting to the joint that is making the noise.

[@torx82]

the day my recommend bar on the right starts coming up with bieber is the day I will quit the internets.

[@marcusmiller360]

I've always wondered, why articulating trucks? What can you do with them that a straight frame can't? And now I know.

[@big04cummins]

Its a travel alarm so it only sounds when the tracks are moving and you get used to it

[@christiangruhn7365]

Lol at the wheel-loader down the hill. "Don't worry, I'll catch him if he falls!" :)

[@big04cummins]

Thanks man! I try to keep my camera with me all the time you never know whats gonna happen

[@DowDuer]

I drove a 735 for a month. The center of gravity is higher than you would expect and it doesn't take much angle to make it lean when you raise the bed. Loved driving it through mud holes though.

Because when your operating a heavy piece of machinery safety comes first. Do you really need to be told this stuff?

[@2009deerejohn]

Sweet video, used to work for a guy that told the haul truck driver's if they didn't roll over at least once a day then they weren't runing them hard enough, lol first place I ever worked were we were encoureged to beat on our iorn. You had it easy though, I ran a tired 320B and I'd always get sent to right the trucks, man wouldn't that thing struggle putting even an empty A30 back on it's wheels,lol

[@sunilsony]

why the hell he drove straight up without load?

[@big04cummins]

Yes it is pretty fun most of the time but its still a job and there are some days that i dont like it

[@big04cummins]

@bankrun04 haha no... I'm not sure but I think there could've possibly been a cell phone involved

[@bcmcustoms1]

the new 740b side dump adt.....like the ejector, only it flips and you have to have an excavator and dozer get u up and ready....in my opionon i think it is 2 times as efficiant :)

[@williamemmelliv926]

It's a side dump

[@FAHQGAMING]

I see this happen alot lol. thos beds are so easy to turn over especially on a haul road that isnt maintained very good and alot of soft dirt

[@Hugofreddie]

This is typical of these trucks . Thats why they are built fully articulated . Big trucks on tiny often unmade roads . Spent many hours with either the cab or the reailer down a hole or on its side waiting for a digger to come and right me again .(usually the trailer)

[@jixxerbill]

If you put a swivel in the middle of a truck somebody's going to use it !! My guys used to roll the back on level ground of all places...

[@Bobbybeb]

You know its a good day when only half of your truck flips over on top of a hill.
