Dude WTF happened?

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?

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

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.

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.
