What happens here

If a large stone is loaded upside down on a trailer and is too heavy to manually flip, an empty pallet can be used as a lever. Position the empty pallet next to the trailer and slowly tilt the trailer bed using the remote control. As the stone slides off, it will rotate and land right-side up onto the ground. This method utilizes gravity and leverage to flip heavy objects without requiring additional lifting machinery.

Goal: Orient a heavy stone correctly for installation.

Tools and materials

  • Dump Trailer — Tilting the stone off the bed
  • Empty Pallet — Acting as a pivot point for flipping the stone
  • Large Natural Stone — The heavy item being flipped

I don't know. I don't know. I don't think so. Son of a D. So close. Doesn't always work out right. That's not getting lifted by hand. All right. It looks like a mess till it doesn't look like a mess. Now, I had to flip it upside down and then rotate it so that this side is to my machine cuz I'm guessing I'm going to have to reach in, kind of leave it over and put it in place. What is going on
