@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping I'm not bitching ( yes I am 😁) , I realize y'all got your equipment in there ..and probably took your time ..which is smart . But these concrete companies are crazy ! I remember back in 1985 , we were pouring a large pool deck and side patios , along with a lot of footings for brick retaining walls , columns etc . During the Pool deck and patio part ( we poured the other with on site mixers ) , the house was on a very steep hill .. and really no better access in the front .. actually , the only access WAS where we had the trucks go , to get up the hill .. like I said , a very steep grade . Long story short , the concrete company sent 8 trucks ( we actually needed only 3 9yarders for the pour ) ..but the younger drivers kept trying to race to the top of the hill , like they were in dune buggies ! I kept telling them to gradually go up , in low gear .. a little at a time . Well , the first 3 ended up messed up , the drive shafts were compromised.. An older driver finally got there and he drove the next three trucks ,one at a time ..no problems with each pour .. My point is , that makeshift driveway would send me into another realm .. I would not allow trucks to back into it , just knowing how bad some of these drivers are ..

And again at 4:04 and 4:09 , non of our site reps would have let the 2nd truck come in after the 1st sank that much on what is clearly a poorly compacted road base.

The road is garbage. Yes the driver is off track a bit but the road is garbage. Period.

Look over on the other side, there's ruts near the edge there too, collapsing off the edge. You back down that with 8-10 yards you have to hit it perfect and be a bit lucky. The bottom line is the driver stopped as soon as he knew he was off track and getting sucked over....but the truck still rolled over. BAD ROAD.

I drive a concrete in Corpus. Have for about ten years now. He should have discharged the load. With the drum spinning in the "charge" mode, the fins have the concrete high on above the drivers left shoulder. Also the spinning drum has something called "transitional torque" on the trucks frame wanting to tip the truck in the same direction. Think of it like shooting a gun. It has an equal an opposite reaction (the bullet goes one way and the gun is forced the other). As the drum forces the 40,000 pounds of concrete in one direction, where the drum mounts to the frame, it torques the frame in the other direction. Thats why mixer trucks can take left hand curves at higher speeds that they can right curves. By reversing his drum, it shifts the torque forcing the right wheels down and also shifts the concretes weight from high left to high right which also helps hold that side down. As the concrete discharges it lessens the total weight on the truck which also helps. Sometimes it's better to lose the load, rather than loose the truck. The driver mentioned being afraid to reverse the drum, that is simply not knowing how your truck operates. All that said, that entrance was not very well built by the contractor to support that much weight. Plus the driver should have had a spotter and been backing slower. It was possibly recoverable at the start, but it's better not to get your truck into that situation in the first place.

I work with concrete trucks all the time and have been doing so for years (I'm a testing technician, among other things), and I was just about to say you had it backward, but then I looked closely at the video to see the rotation direction, and you are correct. All the concrete trucks I work with around here discharge when the drum spins clockwise as seen from the output end, and this one is set up backwards from that. Spinning the drum counter-clockwise in this case would have shifted the weight dramatically to the right, so I agree with you completely. That means that when the guys at the site were talking about not wanting to discharge for fear of shifting the weight to the truck's left weren't thinking straight. They almost certainly could have saved the day by quickly getting it unloaded.

If you don’t pour it that day those laborers and finishers lose a day of pay. So they lose out because of a driver who can’t back a truck up straight. Seems like the concrete company should eat any extra costs because their driver caused the delay.

Oh look, is that a tree right there? Or get the wrecker out that way and pull out 100' of cable. For a second there i thought he was gonna just try and hold the truck from tipping by sitting on it. 😳

Hell of a lot cheaper to get someone in with a skid steer and dump truck to move the dumped mud than paying all those wreckers and the insurance excess on the total loss truck. Discharging would've shifted the concrete in the drum to the uphill side and made the truck lighter and with a lower centre of gravity every second it was discharging. I would've also shut the engine down once it was clear it was going over- that truck is a total loss now the engine is seized and possibly has a burnt up hydraulic pump.

After watching this video a few times over, i really think that this situation should never have come up. Firstly, the road should have been inspected and the contractor been made to widen an grade to a better, more suitable finish for heavy vehicles to access. Secondly, these concrete wagons should have been nose in, nose out, not tail in, nose out. Theres plenty of turning room and staging area. Thirdly, the wrecker that got on scene first only needed to cut the engine to stop vibration,( vibration is a bad deal on unstable ground) and stabilise the mixer by keeping the center of gravity in a more upright position. By keeping the truck upright, hes only holding the center of gravity not the entire truck. He had plenty of truck for this purpose to buy time for the larger wrecker to further stabilise the mud wagon. It is great to watch these videos vback and learn. Nobody was hurt,which is the main thing. Love the videos. Keep pumping. Cheers

There's really no "vibration" from a slowly-turning drum. Besides, that loose soil at the roadway edge began a creeping failure right away, and nothing short of removing or lessening the applied weight was going to stop that from happening. Note that the drum was turning the wrong way, though. Reversing it (to discharge (just waste the load off the edge of the road)) would have shifted the weight substantially to the right, and lightened the truck in short order too. I agree with the rest, in principle, but I doubt there was enough time to set up anchors (like snatch blocks), even if no appraisal time had been needed (and it always is needed).

I don't, but I can tell you this much. they don't make a strap or chain big enough to hold a loaded mixer up from sliding off the side of that driveway. Watch closely as the foundation under the road gives way due to the shear weight of the loaded mixer. Attaching anything from the tow truck to that mixer would have more than doubled the catastrophe. You seen that not only the tow operator but so did others have to run to get out of the way once the mixer started to fall over.

Set the tow truck up down the road and pull the line through the trees and pull on the side, no need to sit there and wait for the concrete to stiffen up and make the truck more unstable, also put the drum in discharge to move the mud to the high side. many mistakes added to this nightmare.

If you look at the tire tracks in the soft gravel, this guy didn't slide off the edge. He backed up off to the edge of the shoulder where the loose ground cut loose due to the shear weight of the loaded mixer. This driveway looked wide enough to handle the load, if it was kept in the center of the driveway. Each & every driver has different backing up characteristics. Some are better than others. With a mixer, there is no opportunity for a mistake when backing, nor braking. It's your on top of your game, or it's a mess.

In a pinch like that, leave the truck already backed in full, run a chain from the drum/frame rail connection point on the tilting truck to the front tow pin on the full truck to keep tension on the rear so it can’t slide. Then hook the wrecker winch to the front tow pin on the tilted truck and winch to the other side of the road until centered. Lock in the quad locks on the tilted truck and all three trucks could walk out together. Just stop the drum, move a few feet, stop and spin to keep it wet, then repeat. That turned into an expensive wreck pretty quick. Drum full of dry concrete, most likely the engine ran with no oil pressure and needs at least bearings. Seen this way too many times.

@thehappytexan3 жыл бұрын
@@trr4488 the reason I say it probably dried is because the only way to get it out is with the engine running to power the hydraulics. You tip over any truck built after 2014 and the oil comes out of the pan and into the cylinders, air to air cooler, turbo, emissions system, it covers the inside of everything. Especially when it’s still running like that on its side. The truck can be set back right side up, but you have no way of knowing if the engine is going to run away, seize, hydro lock, etc. If any one of several sensors get covered in oil, and you won’t know unless you remove them and look, the engine will go into limp mode. Then your stuck at a max rpm of idle. So you are correct about the concrete not drying in the amount of time it took for the events in the video to take place, but it’s the aftermath that keeps the drum from turning. Leading to dry concrete. I asked a concrete truck fleet manager one time why they don’t install a quick connect and ball valve on the lines going to the drum motor, so any sister truck can power the drum of any sister truck. It’s an easy install and the several $4k-$10k bills they pay every year to have concrete air hammered out of drums would pay for the installs. It’s simple math, but habit and tradition still prevail.
@brainfreeze441312 жыл бұрын
I was thinking the same thing. The tow driver went low he needed to find a way to pull high. I think if he was on the road up past the drive. He could have run a cable through the woods to the back top of the drum. Your right that using the other cement truck and hooking to the top of the tipping truck might have stabilized it. At least long enough until the boom wrecker arrived. I think if the cement dries that truck with the bad motor, other possible damage, and a drum full of cement might be a write off.
