Building a Failed Boulder Wall

What happens here

Utilize a large truck equipped with a crane (such as a Hood 7000 or similar heavy-duty crane truck) to deliver appropriately sized boulders to the job site. The crane operator carefully unloads the boulders from the truck bed and places them in designated areas near the construction site, typically along the curb or a safe staging area on the property. Ensure the truck can handle the weight of the boulders (e.g., a Southland Trailers dump trailer with 8,000-pound axles, capable of carrying 16,000 pounds). The boulders should be large and varied to allow for structural integrity and aesthetic arrangement in the new wall.

Goal: Transport and stage large boulders for the new retaining wall.

Tools and materials

  • Dump Trailer Southland Trailers — Carrying heavy loads of boulders
  • Heavy-duty Crane Truck Hood 7000 — Transporting and unloading large boulders
  • Large Boulders N/A — Constructing the new retaining wall

>> No. And uh, we just did a pool demo with this dump trailer. a whole pool demo because the job site was just one block away from Fatalones. So, it was like concrete. I mean, everything concrete in here. Huge huge load. >> Dang. >> So, and yeah, holds up good. All right, let's take a look at the paint job. Everybody's everybody's critical of these Southland trailers for some reason or another. And Southland, what they do, and again, they're not paying me, but what they do is they paint them the same that they paint pickup trucks. This is not a powdercoated process. This is a baked on finish just like you would your truck. We've had this one using it and abusing it because these guys aren't easy. Yeah, we it it's it gets put to work, that's for sure. >> I don't I mean I um I see rust here, but I don't see anything here. >> Scratches here. >> We've got a scratch with rust, but look at that. It stops. It's almost like it doesn't continue to to flake off >> and the back and the gates. I mean, we're putting the ramps and whatnot on there, putting machines in and out of there. So, >> you got a little little dinger right there. >> Yeah. >> This is what happens of 2 years of construction. >> And not even construction, demolition. >> Demolition. Exactly. >> And how many miles have do you think you put on this thing? >> Oh gosh. >> 30 40,000 miles, I think. >> At least 40,000 mi. Cuz when you look at the the tires, it's time for new tires. >> Yeah. I'm just milking that along just a little bit longer. >> There ain't no milk in that. That's got to If Timmy saw that, >> he's been seeing it. He's been complaining for two months. I said just We have to buy You see these are the light tires so they wear down really fast. We get the H's. >> Yeah. >> For our trailers cuz we put them on the shirt track three years ago. Never wore down. So I'm just waiting till the other ones are kind of, you know, cuz you can't buy one of those tires. They're a different size that will throw everything off. >> No, we need all new tires. And you're going to regret that. >> I know. It's to the point. >> You're going to regret waiting cuz I'm going to tell you right now.
