What happens here

Begin the demolition of the old, collapsed retaining wall using the Bobcat mini excavator. Carefully use the excavator's bucket to pry and remove the old blocks. After removal, use the Caterpillar skid steer with its bucket to load the removed old blocks into the dump trailer for disposal. To prevent damage to the trailer bed, lower the skid steer's bucket as close to the trailer floor as possible before releasing the blocks, reducing the impact of the falling debris.

Goal: Remove the old retaining wall and load the debris into a trailer for disposal.

What they say

Hide

Can you back the truck and trailer up? Oh. Oh, yeah. Yep. Yep. So, you notice how Alex lowers the bucket down into the trailer as far as possible? That's to keep the bricks from busting through the floor. If he raised that bucket way up high and dumped it, one of those bricks could go right through it.
