Excavator Side Loading onto Lowboy

[ramboman9214]

1:37 if that van would have been 3 seconds slower it would have a bucket in the windshield

why not get a wider trailer?

[txfirehawk]

@mYOzZyKaT Then you can't get down the highway.. This is how ya do it. 

[mYOzZyKaT]

@txfirehawk When the excavator is wider than the trailer, so are you saying its illegal to drive with it?

[txfirehawk]

@mYOzZyKaT Um, no, not at all. I thought there was a max for tire/ axle width, not load width. All I was saying was the setup in the vid works and is common practice.

that twisting would do some scraping on the pad though eh?

[bigdeerefan2640]

that looks like one of fowlers old trucks pulling the lowboy

[letsdig18]

@bigdeerefan2640 thats because it is!

[pete359ext]

[freeskakel]

[six9smoke]

[powellvalley]

We need to see more of your KW pullin the lowboy. I LOVE the way that truck sounds. A Jake Brake video would be awesome!!!! Does it have a Detroit or Cummins?

[25mfd]

@powellvalley Detroit? Cummins? Try CAT.

[dicin29]

@25mfd hell ya!!!

[htygavinwow]

yu dident u load it up

[freakshow2000]

I think I saw this video before. I also think truck drivers should not be loading equipment.....who better to do this then the operator?

[MotherTrucking1]

@freakshow2000 I hope your joking. If its going on my trailer its going on by me and the way I want it. Theres a difference between a driver and a lowbed operator.

[letsdig18]

@MotherTrucking1 Yeah I usually just let them load it as if they catch a track on the trailer and tear something up its not my fault. that and most of the time Im not even on the job lol

[freakshow2000]

@MotherTrucking1 haha, I knew some truck driver would get pissed. You are right, a truck driver calls it a lowboy

[MotherTrucking1]

@freakshow2000 Not pissed there is a difference though. Theres more to running a lowbed and heavy hauling with it then just holding a steering wheel.

[frenchfrizzle92]

very impressive

[specialks1953]

Loading with STYLE. That is sweet. - The description says "Truck driver side loading". That looks like your Style, smooth and efficient. Good job no matter which one of you loaded it. I like.

[letsdig18]

@specialks1953 yeah I let him load it so I could get a video haha is that bad?

[specialks1953]

@letsdig18 - It's all good. Thanks for the video.

[theoman69]

how come ya loaded it like this? just cause of a lack of room or didnt want to mark the pavment up with the tracks? or just to be cool? lol..YARRRRR!!

[letsdig18]

@theoman69 all of the above! lol

[ConstructionCentral]

[BradyHill1]

@theoman69 Dean's brought my last 200 down from Raliegh, he unloaded it off the side here in my yard, they're too lazy to break the neck apart.....lol
