Our Neighbor Needed a Lift!

[GamaGoatGirl]

Our neighbor ordered a new trailer from Kaufman and asked if we could unload it for him when it was delivered.Today was delivery day! It was an easy task for the M819!

By the way- the wires you see in the pictures are on the far side of the road!

Here are a few pics of the task!

Amy, you should have distracted the driver so Eric could unload the other trailer too!

Who is the UGLY guy in the operator's bucket?

Photographic proof that even when doghead is working, he is sitting around on his ass.

Good way to work the -819!

This is awesome. I love that truck.

I am really going to miss my M108 when it's gone.

Talk about poor lifting etiquette!!! NO outriggers down, NO protection for the lifting straps around the corners of that rail!!

All in all, a job well done though.

I parked at an angle, to the road. The lift was about 10 degrees off to the starboard side. The set was about 15 degrees to the port side. No need for outriggers.

The rail was very rounded edged. New, with no sharp spots. All straps were clinched flat.

was there even a tag line ???

That sure looked nice stretched all the way out

 

[doghead]

No. No wind. Short swing. It was only about 6' up to start with.

Wow, all the criticism, you'd think this was a "dog pile"!

 

[tennmogger]

Great pictures of a neat machine at work. I especially like how the trailer tires and wheels pop out as you lower the trailer, "Transformer" style!!

 

[doghead]

I don't mind criticism. Heck, I might learn something from others, if I keep an open mind!

 

[3dAngus]

Open mind, brains fall out.

 

[gimpyrobb]

no dog pile

Where's the beer?

I see that you don't own a military wrecker. If you had owned a military wrecker or crane, you would know exactly why that lift was completed without outriggers.

Shoulda seen the list on my little truck the other day lifting a canned multi from the side.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!

This is why Doghead catches so much flak for his attempts at sarcastic humor. Sarcasm in type just doesn't work. Can't even bust a guys chops on the internet anymore.

Eric, why do we even try??????

 

[Recovry4x4]

I got the jist of it. I see my attempt at dry humor failed in the translation as well.

Lets see if this works...
