Day 2: Emergency Foundation repair

What happens here

After the trailer carrying the heavy machinery arrives, the skid steer is carefully unloaded. The operator backs the skid steer off the trailer ramps. During this process, it's advised to have someone in the truck's cab with the truck in neutral and foot on the brake to prevent transmission strain, and to have the trailer's tilt bed slightly elevated to reduce the attack angle when backing off.

Goal: Safely unload the skid steer from its transport trailer

Tools and materials

  • Dump Trailer Sure-Trac — Transporting the skid steer
  • Skid Steer Caterpillar — The heavy equipment being unloaded
