East coast would have known that a dump trailer has hydraulics

[@CainnechK]

😂😂😂

[@salvagingsouls5418]

Amen. I was wondering why he was using the jack

[@morrow.m]

Yeah. I was thinking that from the very beginning when he said it was a dump trailer. As my dad always said. Better late than never. 😂

[@jpbarley]

thats the first thing that i thought. i have a dump trailer and i do have power down and i would still be worried about that much weight coming down. that might not be power down and with that not being his trailer i wouldnt wanna damage it

[@ArnieD17]

It, unfortunately, is easy to overthink things and miss the obvious.

[@Zfirearms]

I’m an east coast guy, and when you started unloading all I could think was you better raise your forks!!! But I can’t expect a west coaster to think that far ahead 😂

[@kirkjohnson9353]

I'm West Coast- this was embaressing

[@johncampbell1853]

I would have centered that machine more over the axles to even out the weight better

[@SH-di8im]

Pennsylvania guy here I wondered the same thing 😂😂😂😂

[@marvelousmaker]

He loads the thing up and my inner me is screaming after it is in the trailer, "Lower your forks. You never jump off without lowering your forks, especially with no breaks. " He then unloads and my inner me is screaming, "raise your forks." Then I remind myself it is not my forklift

when I worked at the knife making shop, the owner died. His widow tried to sell the fork lift. She was offered $200 for it. A friend said sell it for scrap weight. She got $1,800!! Theirs didn't have brakes either!

[@stephenlake885]

Exactly. He needs to get his act together if he wants to be bashing east coasters. Talks a good game though and it's worked well for him other than one time when his skills didn't match with his talk and fancy gear and he destroyed a Crf450lL Still like the guy though and glad he speaks his mind..

[@OceanofMaya]

@@stephenlake885 When did he destroy that bike? crashing a bike isn't destroying it.

[@OceanofMaya]

Well, you want a bit of tongue weight. It's far safer to have a bit more tongue weight than to be distributed off the trailing end of the rearest axle.

[@stephenlake885]

@@OceanofMaya I'm well aware of that and am watching my truck as I load things to see it drop some as an indication on how far I have to go as there is a max down pressure weight for the hitch and insert as well and hollow insert is only good for hauling max 5000lb including trailer weight which a lot of people likely don't realize. He just had way more weight on the truck than necessary and likely safe and to drive down the highway smoothly and properly. Positioning of weight in and on a trailer makes a big difference.

[@stephenlake885]

@@OceanofMaya Dropping a dirt bike doesn't destroy it at all but he did a bad enough number on it ( because of pavement and crashing into the other 2) that they gave him a different one to ride. I like the guy and watch all his videos and love his courage and being game to push himself and try extreme trails on his bike. Just picking at him because of East coast comments. Would love to ride with him. Good guy!

[@bchase1980]

[@stephenlake885]

I'm sure if a highway patrol had of yanked him over he would have had a few violations. Supposedly being in excavation I would have though he would know better than to put as much weight on the tongue of the truck as possible. Whatever though, and he's lucky he never had an accident on the highway.

[@Ryan-uz2cr]

I’m 16 and 2 years ago I bought a forklift with 16000 hours on it for scrap price. Cleaned the distributer out and it ran great. No brakes though. GO TO NAPA AND FOR $100 AND AN AFTERNOON SHOWING YOUR KID DRUM BRAKES INSTALL NEW BRAKE LINES AND WHEEL CYLINDERS it might just save your life or the walls of your shop. Believe it or not your local Napa will have a book on Clark lifts all the way back to the 60s and if they don’t have the parts in stock they can have them next day. Please take this advice!

Hey Cory east coast Canadian guy here that has done the same thing but the forklift was a homemade unit out of a 1939 army truck with no brakes , which I unloaded off the back of a flat bed truck in a barnyard on a manure pile ( no sh*t ) , You did good for a southern west coast guy , bless you

Done this twice - once with an electric stock picker and once with a similar forklift. Used a heavy duty come-along to do it with just a little more control than this method. :P

I was worried for the guy sitting below the forks as you rolled down. Thought we might be watching some final destination stuff.

[@dav1099]

yup for being "equipment " men that was damned stupid.

[@farfromluzin]

Yes us east coast guys don't have someone standing in front of a fork trying to eye coming down the ramp. That was really being stupid. BTW, lift the forks up so you don't hit the payment. Better yet, take them off.

[@beardedwelder]

It’s good to see even Wranglerstar has temporary lapses in judgement. Its times like that you know God is protecting you. Glad to see no one get hurt.

[@ShawnZiemba]

Just asking, as my first thought would be this, but why not just use a winch to get it on and off? Slow and safe? Never had to load or unload a forklift though...so this is out of my circle of experience. I spent years loading and unloading 10k loads, but thankfully never a forklift. =)

Thanks for the vid. Bought an 8400 lb forklift and moved to my shop last week. Contemplated doing it with my dump trailer as well but in the end chickened out and paid local wrecker service to do it for $170. Now I feel like I missed out on all the fun! Good job!

"Be standing right here, but if it tips over get out of the way!" When you don't have video, sounds like you shouldn't stand there.

Had a similar experience unloading a MF 65 tractor that arrived on a tractor trailer; when it wanted to go, it went. Drove it down board ramps onto a roll back and then down the tilted rollback. Old tractor tires and smooth steel do not play well together.

[@yingpin18]

I have done some sketchy things with a fork lift. Idle time is the devils hand. Got one stuck on a low dock plate and a short box truck when I was 16. Used them to change lights in the warehouse when the safety folks were gone. Tied a rope in the rafter of the warehouse, backed up the fork and raised it to create a huge rope swing......Dont do that. What I would recommend trying is put a guy on a wooden pallet with a rope handle, whip that rear wheel drive forklift around in circles.

We had to move a few forklifts from our current factory over to a neighboring building we rented. It also includes crossing rail road tracks and going down a concrete ramp. NEVER AGAIN! I think I lost a filling in my tooth from the tracks. Going down the ramp, I hit the brakes too hard. The back end swung around slightly and almost tipped over. I let off the brakes and rode it down the ramp. It’s a totally different world being on an indoor forklift outside. Glad everything went well for ya.

Can confirm that loading a forklift is a nightmare. Had to load our company forklift on a 25ft gooseneck trailer. This thing weighed so much it pickup the front trailer and the back of the truck and started to push the entire thing forward and had to just mash the gas to barely make it up.
