lfcrule1972 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think the "loading ramps" are the dark pieces of wood at the back of the low loader..... I thought they must have slipped.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polopony Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think the "loading ramps" are the dark pieces of wood at the back of the low loader..... I thought they must have slipped.... no amount of boards would take the weight of that equipment, if you look at the flat bed trailer (1 st pic behind the rear tire) the last few feet is on a hydraulic pivot that lowers to form the ramp someone forgot to lower it and the operator drove it off the edge. I've seen stuff where the hydraulic ramp failed to operate and then they try to use boards or whatever is handy to off load, a disaster in the making .We were building a small medical center in lower New York and the truck driver did his best to dump a 28,000 pound MRI machine into a major street, the chains held, the rep from General Electric was next to me at the time on the second floor and when I blinked he was at the truck .I never saw anyone cover so much ground so fast he them proceeded to scream at the driver at the top of his lungs for what must have been a half hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFriday13 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Provided you can ride a bicycle, everyone can do this. Just ride down a step about 600 mm high, and you should tumble straight over. I know, I have done this myself once in my younger days. It broke the main shifter on my bike and I had a slightly sore back afterwards. Crazy kids . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbminter Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 OMG! THAT REALLY WAS HIS BRAIN! I saw that lump in the first picture, and thought that was what it was... but, eventually just convinced myself that was a colored pipe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
