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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@flutegaming8036]

The title of the video would better of being named "Truck turns over and is turned back on wheels".

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.

[@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.

[@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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kellypenrod3034]

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

[@Sirimico]

i like how in youtube everybody is an expert

[@roadsweeper1]

They have a rotational pivot behind the steering pivot to allow the back half to rotate freely. Gives them better rough ground handling capability,and also, if the back tips, which, will happen at some point, it doesnt drag the cab over with it keeping the driver safe. Never driven the 740 but drove a Terex 25t for many years. The hydraulic lines have plenty of play in them too so it doenst rip the hoses. Always wise to check one over after youve tipped it, but usually they good to go again!

[@HedgehogOutdoors]

You done scratched the paint! lol good video

[@oldgysgt]

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.

[@sionehefa3458]

Great filming. Nice steady and the incident always in frame.

[@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

[@Kededian]

seems like a fun job to drive/operate these machines. :)

[@tilligetbig]

holy crap that thing has great articulation!!

[@ericmoore4031]

I luv how random and fun exploring youtube is.

[@MrAtoZ-un3fk]

I like the way you party, nice job!

[@bshorthhic]

Love how that excavator tipped that dump bed like it was a leaf.

[@big04cummins]

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

[@timmckenzie3811]

I like the guy on the ground running back and fourth...he didn't know whether to shit or go blind lmao

[@kookiedabear]

Dude...you scratched the paint with the bucket! Foreman is gonna be pissed.

[@jonesey65244]

These boys got a bigger sandbox and bigger trucks than I had when I was kid.

[@prufessabwoogie]

Just another day at the office. Nice work!!

[@christiangruhn7365]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Bobbybeb]

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

[@NickHey]

Damn that road looks narrow and no bunding makes it even worse :S Am glad all that was done was a popped tyre off the rim though! And it's great to see just how easy it is to get them back on their fee... err wheels lol

[@mojostevo]

Is the lower front window glass, or plastic? Where do you stow it, behind the seat?

[@TheTimeCapturer]

Excellent brakes, for sure.

[@Gacekspojler]

im lucky guy, I just found another great channel with heavy equipment. :)

[@rodneygrayjr9058]

nice video and good skills

[@Stealthsoldier20]

Looks like the edge of the road broke away. Kinda hard to avoid that. Amazing he didn't roll completely down the side.

[@soperdp]

I was working on a liner expansion on a landfill one time and saw the exact thing happen. The driver was out of the cab no more than 30 seconds before he was out of a job.

[@BarrieMead]

740's: worlds loudest reverse beeper

[@marissadillard38]

it actually is called a tractor and trailer. its an articulated off road dump truck. its a very similar set up to a scrapper. ran one of these for a while. it's very easy to turn over on of these. safety first.

[@Bobbybeb]

Its amazing how much weight that thing can flip over like its nothing.

[@stephenlesliewright895]

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

[@MrHuskerOne]

That was a nice soft "flip back"!!!

[@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)

[@averyellis]

I bet you would rock at one of those crane arcade games.

[@big04cummins]

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

[@Roadman4you]

very skilled operator

[@CJ-M43]

Nicely done

[@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!

[@1MTSRider]

Big machinery helping big machinery, pretty cool. Great job by the tractor operator, got the job done without incident.

[@cfactorstout]

Nice Recovery..

[@lershidaa]

nice job and thanx for uploading ! i like it:)

[@onebadapple76]

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

[@Disciple1000]

If you've never made a mistake, you've never driven.

[@lesatseaside]

dayummm that thing has a lot of articulation between the bed and the cab. =^0

[@Hugofreddie]

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

[@coolcon1993]

It looks like he was trying to get up that slope. It is an articulated truck, and it steers by the whole cab swiveling around. But the angle of the back to the cab is too straight for it to have slid off the road, there's no damage to the road to sugest it either, so I think he tried to climb the hill. I don't know what caused the rear end to tip though, by all purposes, that truck should've easily made it up that hill... unless it had a load, which would explain it.

[@kevinforrester2324]

great team work

[@trucking604]

You're right, they are Norwegian. I knew the Moxy was some kind of Scandinavian, just couldn't remember which kind of Scandinavian. Thank you.

[@BIGHURTification]

This is why I love being a H.E Operator. You can get anything unstuck.

[@Tomkins10]

Thanks, that was just so wonderfully enlightening and so entertaining that I feel i have actually gained 3.24 seconds of lifespan. Or perhaps not!

[@enoughofyourkoicarp]

See, even trucks need a nap sometimes. ;)

[@MrShanghai34]

I used top have a metal Tonka too. I had a Tonka Pan as well. The dirt I moved...

[@lloydlegin]

they are designed for the back to fall over and not take the cab/unit with it to protect the driver, them falling over is quite common as they work on soft ground quite often

[@wordreet]

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

[@MrCcrunner2011]

They also create less stress on the cab operator because the load is moving independently of the cab. :)

[@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

[@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

[@GeneralGiggleMuffin]

Thanks for the reply. Do you enjoy it personally?

[@aacsteveo]

That dirt south of town is some of the nastiest, slickest crap there is

[@Pan3405]

wowww... fantastic job!!!!

[@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.

[@andriayuknavage6306]

There was no sign that said " No Parking". Looked like a perfect spot.

[@wackokicker]

cool, does it has a membrane or is just clay?

[@craigwood6988]

2 day course, yep your an experienced operator!!! lmao

[@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. :)

[@thegeforce6625]

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

Is that in Northern Nevada?

big ups for the seat belt!

[@741azertyuiop]

Good job :)

[@wackokicker]

hey man, what do you use those pits for?

[@marcusmiller360]

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

[@MurderCrowAwdio]

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

[@Ghostrider2999]

I didn't like the 740s, good truck, but if you didn't pay attention it would crawl or run over anything in front of it or off the side of a cliff.. That is why anything distracting went in the lunch pail. Good video and job.

[@HarvesterForwarderMore]

great video! everybody has a bad day sometimes...

That are all real Buddy´s!When one is in trouble the other come and help.You have my Respect.What happend there that he Slide down there?

why the hell he drove straight up without load?

[@SpencerHHO]

Lucky they are built solid.

[@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.

[@johnobrien2207]

what bright spark is parked in the loader on the bottom of slope things would not want to go wrong

[@eightosaurusspelunk1598]

+powermanbeard ... dafuq?

[@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 :)

[@godsbong]

Looks like someone tried to do some offroading!

[@mojostevo]

Right on, thanks, I was always curious about that.

[@carstenaagaard2825]

nice work guys.

[@big04cummins]

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

[@wyominglost]

That in Wyoming?

[@big04cummins]

You are exactly right as you noticed I swung into the box instead of away from it.

[@jasongilmou]

knew them trucks turned in the center but didnt know they turned like that ? lol, did it fuck any thing up?
