Conquering another sketchy hill.

What happens here

Carefully load the excavator onto a flatbed trailer, ensuring the blade is positioned correctly. This often requires guidance from ground personnel to maintain proper alignment and prevent accidents. Secure the excavator firmly to the trailer using chains and binders, adhering to Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations regarding load securement. Repeat the securing process for any additional heavy attachments or counterweights.
