Re: There Goes the Concrete Mixer Truck
Put her in discharge, would've took some of the weight out.

Re: There Goes the Concrete Mixer Truck
I don’t think it would have mattered much, at least not by the time the video starts. The rear tires are already unsupported on the driver side, leaving the rear part at a pretty decent angle compared to the cab section. The guy got up there to turn the wheel to the far right, trying to stop it from rolling off the hill. Unfortunately, he turned it in the wrong direction… He should have turned it the other direction to help. Make it so it it would potentially roll away from the drop… He just made it roll toward the side it was already leaning, and boom.  Not that any of this would matter, the weight of the back is not supported by the rear wheels but the end of the pour spout. Even if it could drive off, level, better traction, all tires on the ground, etc., it’s not moving off that point of contact, the entire truck is supported by the spout, so there’s far too much weight on the single point to move. Even more so if it’s not empty… |
