Always looking for alternate work ideas when we can’t be on site.
What happens here
Position a dump truck, such as the white utility truck with a dump bed seen in the video (possibly a Ram chassis cab), next to an existing gravel pile within the covered workspace. Operate a skid steer (a compact track loader, appearing yellow in the video, similar to a Bobcat or Caterpillar) to scoop gravel from the pile using its front bucket. Carefully and systematically deposit the gravel into the dump truck's bed, ensuring the load is evenly distributed to maintain vehicle balance and prevent accidental overloading.
Goal: Transfer gravel from bulk piles to the transport vehicle
