Steel for the next big project?
What happens here
With the roof trusses unloaded, the scene shifts to unloading heavy I-beams. A Terex SS-842 telehandler, operated by another individual, is used to lift the I-beams from the flatbed trailer. The presenter assists by guiding the beams and placing wooden dunnage (blocks) between the layers of beams to ensure stable stacking on the ground. This process requires precise coordination between the telehandler operator and the ground crew due to the immense weight and size of the steel beams.
Goal: Safely unload and stack steel I-beams.
