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.

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

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.

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

i like how in youtube everybody is an expert

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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!

This happend to me too in my 740GL with the B230F and the M46. Luckily we had a 345DL to pull me out so i didnt get stuck. When i bought it i saved $500 over a 740GLT 16V with a B234 (155hp) but since it still were a step up from my old 242L i didnt want to put out the extra money. Something i regret now when i constantly get my 740 sideways. Anyone know if this happens too in the 940 with the FB?

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

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

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

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.

I luv how random and fun exploring youtube is.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

You done scratched the paint! lol good video

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.

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

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

Not the first 740 I have seen expose it's belly for maintenance. I'm not sure they are good for anything but mild grades. Did he slip a wheel off or was he trying to climb to the top road?

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

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.

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

holy crap that thing has great articulation!!

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)

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.

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

740's: worlds loudest reverse beeper

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

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

I like the way you party, nice job!

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

hey man, what do you use those pits for?

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

Awesome. I've always wanted to learn how to operate heavy machinery, especially after they brought in a front loader to work to help with building a new building (mostly ripping out concrete and pavement to replace it).

Катерпиллер... не убиваемые тачки! наш металлургический комбинат (СеверСталь), листовой прокат для этих машин поставляет.

Just another day at the office. Nice work!!

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks for the reply. Do you enjoy it personally?

Is that in Northern Nevada?

@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

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

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

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. :)

Funny how the loader is parked at the bottom of the hill waiting for the dump truck to roll down the hill and wipe it out. Looks like an uneducated circus.

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

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

how did he manage to do that? he was trying to get down in reverse or to maneuver?

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

Do you have to tell the boss when that sorta stuff happens?

we all need to pray for this driver.

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

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?

A common occurance with ADT's, but very easy to plant its feet back on ground.

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

We met up with the driver of the mammoth machine to which he only had to say, "It seemed like a good idea at the time!".

That in Wyoming?

Excellent brakes, for sure.

why the hell he drove straight up without load?

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

did any damage occur internally when it flipped over like that?

Lucky they are built solid.

Right you are... there are are always "experts" out there that know how to do it better even though they know none of the "site specifics" nor do they have all of the information required to make an educated decision on how to recover a machine in this situation. For instance I didn't have enough reach to curl the bucket in and for that matter by curling your bucket in and pulling horizontally you lose all of your vertical lift putting way more stress on the truck tires and suspension.

Unfortunately, with the economy being the way it is, it's really hard to find a job as an equipment operator if you have no experience. My Grandfather and my dad both are also in the field so it runs in my family, that's how I was able to get into it as easily as I did. My grandfather has owned equipment my whole life, so when I was just like 8-10 years old I knew how to drive a bulldozer, now that's not working with one just driving it around. I started operating machinery when I was 19(cont'd)

I didn't know that a "Dig Em" could flip a truck back over.

Yes, there is a layer of GCL (geosynthetic clay liner) and a layer of 30 mil HDPE over that

Masterful.

See, even trucks need a nap sometimes. ;)

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

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

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

it is glass and yes it goes back behind the seat there is a place to secure it so it doesn't get broken

simple , edge of the road gave way and rear dumper went right turn with the cab mostly on top of the road still, could of been alot worse if road gave way under the cab at the same time as dumper bed

Another articulated end dump specialist. Gotta baby sit em all the time. lol

what country is this taken in ?

I think Its kind of interesting, it takes some skill to run an excavator and then to precisely roll the truck back over with damaging anything

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!

nice video and good skills

This happened to me with a MOXY quite a few years ago, i spent a summer haulin dirt, great fun racing these around the site WAAAYYYYY before health and safety took over the world

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.

Nope, quite clearly after 1:19, you can see that the road had partially collapsed. Which caused the trailer to slide down and drag him sideways. Pretty easy to tell what happened honestly.
