Here are a couple links to the equipment/tools we use to safely secure our equipment. Chain Binders: amzn.to/3xBNsF4 3/8in x 20ft load chain: amzn.to/3tEFHN8
Good video.
what type of truck is that?
5/16” Grade 70 chain - 4700 lbs . 3/8” Grade 70 chain - 6600 lbs .
you ALWAYS load front wards, not backwards
These jokers went out of business
Incorrect, just too busy for videos. Business is better and stronger than ever.
Website is up, business is going.
Whats the bed length on the trailer?
He said at the beginning it is 7 by 14 ft.
What length dump trailer is that?
7x14, 14K
Is that a John Deere fork frame? It looks sweet
The mini has to b tied down even if it is in a trailer.
Nice Vid!
you got a cdl? also just fyi...each quarter of the machine needs to a separate contact point...so you need to cut them chains in 1/2 and give each corner its own safety point. at least it should be....is for us
GVWR is under 26k, why would he need a CDL?
In our area it’s not 26lbs or less, that’s what I thought at first. Some areas of your have a 10,000 lb or more trailer & are commercial you need a DOT card at least.
Title should have been “how to flip an excavator”.
Theses ones 💀
Armature hour....safest way my arse....ya can't teach people when you don't have a clue yourself....
Why delete all but two of your video's? Came looking to ses if you guys had a new video only to find almost all video's are gone now
What’s the length of your dump trailer? I’m looking at 35g but I don’t know if it will fit my 14ft dump trailer. It has 3 foot walls as well.
Did it fit after articulating the boom? I fit bobcat e26 in my 14’ no problem.
@@jacobbelfield9835 what about 12ft for a 30g JD
@@diegosierra1963 I wouldn’t recommend it. Youre gonna be really heavy on the tounge. Check your trailer specs first. If you have a 1 ton truck, at that point it’s all about how much can your trailer take… A 1 ton can take that payload tho
Excellent demo. Thank you.
Keep looking for vids that discuss the ratios of truck/Excavator/trailer weights to steer clear of CDL.
Always block tires on trailer not truck. Stands or not . Some day stands will bend or go through asphalt and away you go . Also dot. Requirements is a separate chain and binder in every corner. Also need to reposition machine, to much weight on truck.
I see an unsecured Load Ticket in your future. That's not the DOT approved method to chain that down.
What dimensions is that dump trailer?
7x14x2. 14K
Copy, I got a E26 I’m trying to figure out what dump to get for it, I do tree work and need one to haul log loads with great video 🤙
Some of the dumbest securement I've ever seen
Chain working load limit depend on the grade of the chain. The gold chain you are using is grade 70. 5/16" grade 70 chain has a working load limit of 4700 lbs.
Im assuming the hook on the 3/8th chain on the didn’t fit through the d ring but that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to go with a smaller chain, if you take one hook off the chain to run it through the d rings when you put the binder on all you need to do is put one hook on the side without a hook and the other side on the opposite side and it still works the same as using a chain with two hooks. Just an OIT if you didn’t know.
Nice ua-cam.com/video/AxF5lcVcPtY/v-deo.html
I think you supposed to have for chains driver
Great video That's the way I do it. So much saver backing onto the trailer
What size trailer 12 or 14ft
It’s a 7 x 14ft trailer.
This seems like way too much force is being applied to the D-rings and they could easily be ripped out of the trailer. I would like to see separate chains and binders at all 4 corners instead of all that force literally trying to rip those rings apart. Think about it. It distributes the force much more evenly. And if one fails going down the road or in panic braking the other 3 firmly hold the machine in place.
agreed
I love the 35g I’ve ran one and it’s operates so smooth and good
Great video! What’s the length of the trailer and how much it rate for? 14k or 7k?
It’s a 20ft trailer and it’s 14K Rated

Could you do a video on adding the stabilizer jacks in the back? I haven’t figured a good way to do that on my trailer.
Only some trailers have the sockets to install the Stabilizers... most don't, unfortunately 💁♂️
Nice video,, very informative.
Good savety
Great info on the foldable binders! I hate the red ones and have been looking for a better option.
Seems a little tongue heavy. But you would know better than me!
Thats a red tag in cali.. have to have 4 points 4 seperate chains and for each blade and bucket/Hoe
I just bought that exact same trailer yesterday, and im looking to buy a mini ex. Funny how this was in my recommended videos. How does your truck pull with the weight?
Truck pulls the weight great! The trailer breaks on that trailer are great too.
Been hauling excavators in dump trailers with a flatbed dually for over a decade now and some things I have learned from some old timers and trailer dealers about this method of thinking is that it comes from flat beds and deck over equipment trailers. Dump trailers are built to be loaded rear heavy so they will dump their max load. it’s also necessary to take into account that the trailer gets a good portion of its payload capacity from tongue weight. for instance, a 17.5k trailer will have two 8k axles and gets the remaining 1.5k from the tongue weight of the trailer riding on the hitch of the truck. Meaning that while proper weight displacement is important, it’s easy to overload the intended tongue weight as the trailer is designed to be loaded slightly rear heavy. Load blade forward bucket forward and articulate your boom so that the cutting edge of the bucket is touching the cutting edge of the blade and drive the machine forward until just before the back of the bucket touches the front of the trailer. This will put the cab/tracks/engine of the excavator centered over the axles and the boom and blade forward giving you the correct weight displacement.
Hey Noah: Revisiting this some months later. We've just purchased a 7600lb Kubota KX033 mini excavator. I'm picking up a dump trailer to move it later this week. (14', 14k trailer). My tow vehicle is a Max tow f150 rated up to about 12,700 lbs, max tongue weight of 1200. I'm worried about overloading the tongue. Do you suggest reorienting the machine so blade and boom are facing towards the tongue to keep center of gravity back on the trailer? I'm going use a weigh safe hitch so I should be able to get an idea of what my tongue weight is either way.
@@jj_dubs there really is no negative to over loading the tongue a bit. having it too light is deadly. you do not want the trailer determining your direction of travel or traction
@@xxxmikeyjockyour truck will disagree with this.
@@jacobbelfield9835 no it will not.
@@jj_dubsif you can afford a kx033 you definitely can drop 15k on a decent 2500 to tow the setup. Your f150 is going to hate you
Nice but your machine is a little too far forward and is not equally distributed on the dual axles. Makes for a heavy tongue weight.
which is what you want
Not on a pickup with a bolted on hitch....
Curious why load the machine backwards meaning the blade is facing the rear bumper of the trailer? If it's a tongue weight thing your trailer is too small to get the weight you want on the back of your truck I get that. But if it has nothing to do it wait then I believe the correct way to load is blade first meaning the blade is closest to the truck. There's a number of reasons why for this but I think one of the main is if something happens where you lose a ramp break a ramp Bender ramp ramps get stolen whatever if you're a proficient operator you would still be able to get the excavator out of the dump trailer without ramps yeah yeah it's sketchy as poop 💩 but it can be done kind of safely. Lol A second reason is if something is going wrong while unloading you have to boom to help stabilize you on the way out and you have your blade to help stabilize you on the edge of the dump trailer. Another thing you did not discuss was if you have it putting the truck in four wheel drive putting emergency brake on using wheel chocks but anyhow all in all decent video.
what difference does the blade direction make without ramps? I dont use ramps and always go blade towards the exit.
@@xxxmikeyjock I never said it could not done. It's just possible that it's more difficult. Depending on the approach angle or departure angle the blade will get stuck in the dirt and if you're on concrete or asphalt you will scratch or rip up the material. So if the blade is still up in the trailer you have nice smooth tracks that are touching either dirt concrete or asphalt. Dump trailers are typically higher than equipment trailers anyhow loading blade first can just make things easier. 👍🤷♂️
I'll get that in there without the ramps.
So much wrong about what you are trying to teach. All I can say, Is at least you are trying. And you don't have a 5-point tiedown. A 5-point tie down is 5 separate chains and straps. The one on the rear is a one-point tie down. The front needs a binder on each side, not one binder. That's also considered a single tie down. The machine has to have 4 points, the blade has to have one, the bucket on the rear has to has one. And drop your chains through the stake pockets and put the chain hook on the upside. That way if the binder breaks the chain doesn't come off.
I thought the same thing but this machine weighs about 8500lbs, so this is technically legal, both in terms of number of tie down points, and working load limits (assuming g70 chains). I agree though, it's confusing when he calls out the 5 points, because this is not a 5-point tiedown, and the 5-point tiedown isn't required for the situation. I hope this doesn't confuse anyone into thinking they can run all heavy equipment like this. In any case, I'm with you on how to secure these things - at our company if it rolls, it gets 4 direct points + 1 if there's a bucket, regardless of weight or what DOT says about a 10klb threshhold.
I’m getting a 35 and my ramps have the same hook styles yours have. You haven’t had any issues with the ramps bending though?
everyone bends those ramps with a 35. I have found it safer to not use the ramps and just jump the mini in, but my dump trailer has low sides and I can spin the house when I am in it.
How long are those chains 25ft?
20ft
the whole reason you use a dump trailer to move heavy equipment is so that you don't have to spend time chaining down.
So when a child runs out and you lock up ALL the brakes on the truck & trailer, the machine slides forward and lifts the trucks front wheels off the ground and you slam the whole rig into the vehicle next to you, or oncoming, IDIOT -
Exactly. Tall sides mean it can’t fall off
Really, don't get pulled over with it not chained down 🙄
Lol! Lay off the pipe. Crack kills.
Still has to be chained no matter what type of trailer
Those foldable binders are a game changer
Gotta love that PNW WEATHER BOIIII
Great work, also awesome you guys showed the proper hook points I see a lot of people running chains and straps all over random stuff that can mess up a machine and even loosen up but you guys nailed it.
This was incredibly informative and helpful. Thanks, guys.
Then you must a simple person to follow their lead
