What happens here
Once the dump truck is securely positioned with its bed partially or fully raised, the operator can begin to slowly and cautiously open the tailgate or activate the material discharge mechanism. The goal is to initiate a controlled flow of bulk material (gravel) from the truck bed. Monitor the flow to ensure it is manageable and directed towards the skid steer's bucket. Avoid opening the tailgate too quickly, which could result in an uncontrolled surge of material.
Goal: Begin a controlled release of bulk material into the skid steer bucket's receiving area.
