Now what do we do Boss? Don't just stand there you fools go get the 750 excavator and the D11. Drag this thing out and flip it over I want it back on the haul road in 2 hours or less
Look at the size of those king pins on that front axle
Is this Speedycop's latest entry for the 24 Hours of LeMons?

I had bosses like that (whats the big deal Flip it over) its only 120,000 pounds :sweating: Mr Mikey.
D 11 Cat. They'd gang them to pull 6 ft long steel shanks prior to planting permanent crops through farmland in the San Joaquin Valley to turn up the hard pan. It'd come up in 1-2, occasionally 3 ft thick pieces large enough to park a few cars on top. Had they not done that, the, then, flood irrigation techniques may have pooled water, prevented drainage.
Trees and vines don't like wet toes.
This appears to be a more modestly sized haul truck by today's standards It is a Belaz 75131. 130 to 136 metric ton capacity a small ish 50 liter 1600HP V16 Cummins, empty weight 107,000 kg
almost square height to width 5.9m tall 6.4m wide 11.5m long.
The easiest way I know of to right a turtled dump truck like these without adding further damage, is to drag them out to an open area then excavate a pit to the rear just wider than the truck with very a steep slope for the truck to slide into and ramped out the other end, make the pit about 2/3rds in depth in relation to the total length of the truck then push it in with a winch cable attached to the front bumper from 1 dozer and 1 over the length of the truck attached to the top of the front of the bed from another dozer going the opposite direction once the truck is in the pit begin pulling in on 1 cable while paying out with the other to keep the bed and the chassis mated once the steering tires are on the ground re rig and pull it out of the pit . Chances are once the truck is checked out fluids are topped off if need be it can be back on the haul road in 2 to 4 hours.
I've seen smaller trucks back on the road in under an hour. These trucks are tough but at the same time delicate. If you try to right them from the side you risk snapping off 1 or more axles plus destroying the fuel or hydraulic tank
Now that we have killed the beast, how do we dispose of the carcass!
The same way you eat an elephant. One bite at a time :hattip:Quote:

C'mon guys, it's only resting, it'll get up by it'self when it wakes up
How does someone do this?
They back up a little too close to the edge where they are dumping, and it gives away. Happens more often than you would think but nearly always with inexperienced driversQuote:

It took three of us and a 1-ton comealong to right the poor thing.

Well, that makes sense. Quite an expensive mistake.Quote:

Then they may have layers of clay or gravel or other strata's they don't want before getting to the pay layer. Coal is one of the easier things to distinguish it is just stripped away and loaded, but minerals will have to be separated as best as can be done on site before the richer ores are sent off for processing.
All of this requires a place to pile up what is left over and when dealing with several thousand tons per day or even per hour packing it down as the mounds get ever higher can never be as well compacted as it was before being dug up. Trucks and dozers are the things that can wind up rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell.
More or less what I hand in mind as well.
If it was a CAT it would have landed upright...
