Not had any experience of these trailers what makes them so dangerous? Is the tail board spring loaded or something ?
Every material is different, pure stone just wants to run out off trailer when being tipped,Not had any experience of these trailers what makes them so dangerous? Is the tail board spring loaded or something ?
So I take it the poor lad used a bar or similar to remove the stone while the door was under tension, he freed the stone and the door hit him with lethal force? Tragic waste of life.Its automatic, as the trailer tips it allows the door to go to a position of a nondoor dump trailer, as it drops it pushes it back up, it can be made to stay down by flicking a lever while fully tipped then lowering. I think the accident was a stone jammed it to stop it closing and the operator tried to free it while it was under great tension when the trailer was down, re tipping it would have freed the stone or at least removed the tension.
Awful,So I take it the poor lad used a bar or similar to remove the stone while the door was under tension, he freed the stone and the door hit him with lethal force? Tragic waste of life.
The bar hit him on the head , instant death . Some disaster as he was only visiting a friends farm for the day . He wasn't evening driving the tractor / trailer .So I take it the poor lad used a bar or similar to remove the stone while the door was under tension, he freed the stone and the door hit him with lethal force? Tragic waste of life.
