I always check that the tail gate is latched when loading first bucket. If latch is not visible I put first bucket near tailgate. Gate will pop open and u only have one bucket on. Always keep truck as close as possible to pile.
I load finished gravel at the local quarry in va. DOT and scale wagon bad around here. I most put the stone up front. If it's a shollo bed I will flatten the peak so they don't look as full . Taller beds ain't no problem. We get MHHA inspection from time to time and have to keep piles beamed and trimmed to keep ever one safe . Company policy requires us to load on left side of the truck and drivers must stay in cab . If not we will not load until they are . A lot more I could say but I am no operator. Been running loader about 30 years and still no operator. Can stand people whe say they are and get on a machine and they like a deer in headlites . Thank you for sharing. Really enjoy it
For lighter material you can load much higher and fuller. On a quad axle you get bucket overlap in the middle as you can see in the video so the pile stacks higher in the mid and less front and back. For last couple buckets you want to go in at an angle so your bucket is stacked to one side then dump towards the opposite side of the pile in the truck. This gives you a more even load for your driver . You can also push down and through the material in the truck to make sure the material is spaced evenly in the truck since the side you load from will usually be more stacked than the far side. Skim and pat the top and you got a full load.
Amen to that I load tri axels with smaller boxes I do 2 full scoops one to the left and one to the right then 2 half buckets to each side to ensure its full
Awesome vid! Kinda got down into the fire today haven't ever loaded trucks and watching this helped. My only advice is to buy about your channel don't answer all the haters even if you did it perfectly you will still get negative comments, keep up the good work
I would Say Wow, Well i am DAE student doing specialization in HCM so as beginner you helped me a lot i watch your every video. Thank you again for your efforts May god bless you.
I'm not an expert! Main thing to remember is never rush. Always be aware of your surroundings. Eye contact with coworkers is very helpful. For drivers, they should pay attention to the operators. Keep the radio volume down. Back up slow, no need to rush.
I operate a wa270 komatsu as well. The only thing I don't like about is the fact that when I start to pick up a windrow of dirt or base 2. It hops up and I leave some behind to clean up
your heavy equipment vidio is quite interesting and a good insight for people interested in becoming a heavy equipment operators .Before coming to canada from guyana i operated a catapiller and terrex front end loader loading dump trucks with white sand in a sand pit.Guess these machines are so high tech now.Thanks for your vidio.
One tip. Take a sight line when approaching the truck. Near top edge of dump body to a point far side of dump body. Load it with keeping that sight line the same. To load even weight side to side.
if youre doing snow, i suggest using diesel or old motor oil and spraying your bucket and the box of the dump. snow can get scary when it sticks to the front area of the dump especially when its very wet
I really enjoy your channel it's definitely been it helps starting a new career in heavy equipment. I was wondering if you guys could make a video or have suggestions on how to make your gravel material into the mountains that are in your video
Potentially could do that. Typically those larger piles are made with crushers and then conveyor belts that drop it for those tall piles. Thanks for the comment!
have had loads put on my rig out of our pit vary in weight over 30.000 pounds from one to another. imagine the fun having to deal with that on a daily basis. and the loaders have scales in them..
How do you feel about loading broken concrete into trucks with wood on the sides at the top? And sometimes a piece might hit the side and crack the wood.
@@HeavyMetalLearning Yea a few trucks came in and I've seen when they were being loaded you have that stray rock that goes where it wants hits & splits the side wood and the driver is pissed off.
Thanks for the tips! Yes what I usually do is coat the bed with dirt or very small pieces of concrete. Once in awhile I get that renegade concrete that wants to do what it wants. I'm paying a little more attention with smaller buckets and so far no problems.
Between rounds I always leveled the area the loader ran on. Saves time and the loader is not bouncing and rolling side to side with an elevated load. My best day was just over 500 Tonnes of scaled legal loads in 12 hours. Averaged a truck ever 3 min with a 180 Volvo, Load Rite electronic scale which was accurate to 250 kgs on a 40 tonne load.
Just loaded 2 trucks today with a Cat 928 i think. Did ten loads. They were triple axle trucks. Put 3 buckets in. I am also not an expert. It is Saturday and we only work half days on Saturday.
You had a 3.3 yard bucket on that 270. You always start loading your dump truck from the front to the back. Or you spilt the box 3-4 buckets in the front & 3-4 buckets in the back. Always help your driver out to pack the material, so they can tarp. A trip axel holds about 15 yards or 13-15 ton depending on how the box of the truck is. Quad Axel dump trucks can hold 20T or 20- 25 yards of aggregate.
Loading semi end dump or belly dump is a little different in park placement for efficient loading for the loader operator or if trucker needs to load himself
i am new to the job though but where i work we work very fast cus at times you need to load atleast 50 trucks with about 50 to 55tons each when not loading if its inside the ship we work fast too cus of demorage the ship has to leave early
I never load a truck if driver is not in the cab, also your loading on the wrong side , I never load a truck on the blind side.. I always load on driver side because sometimes drivers don’t have radios and it’s safer.(always have eye contact) Also one more tip always set yourself up 1st with the bucket in the air and have the driver back in at a 45°. Never adjust to the truck driver always set yourself up first, Make sure your floor is level and you’re comfortable and safe to load a truck!
Question- what's your opinion on bucket position when you park a loader? We work with salt or sand stockpiles, usually in wet, winter weather conditions, and I was always taught to A), never shove the bucket back into the pile, and B), roll the bucket forward to prevent some of the water or snow from collecting in the bucket. I see a lot of the guys doing the opposite of these things nowadays.
@Sam Style Style Our buckets and moldboards are more rust than enamel lol. Seriously, I don't understand why we don't have the snowplow MBs and the loader buckets sandblasted and repainted every couple of years. Rust and corrosion not only increases the likelihood of weld failures, etc, but can make it difficult to find those faults during pre-trip inspections.
@Sam Style Style the state has a protocol for increased frequency of inspections, lubrication, etc, for any equipment used in winter maintenance operations. So far, our Case, Deere and Volvo loaders are not experiencing seal failures more often than similar equipment in better conditions.
Looks like a 3 1/3 yd bucket, so just over 8k lbs a bucket. Dump a bit slow, spread out the fall so it doesn't land all at once. Only go about a third of way over box when starting to dump, then roll forward a bit more as you finish. This puts weight in center of box. Most roads have road restrictions, this must be maintained. By looking at tires you should know what they can carry, if not, learn. Load material to the limit so as to make the most $$ per load, or as close as possible without getting a fine. Check that gate is locked, it saves time.
I've been running a couple older 980s with a quarter-steer wheel/stick arrangement and transmission controls on the stick. It's a bit unusual, but not a bad layout compared to a conventional steering wheel.
Yaaaaas!!! I can’t stress this enough - Never EVER spin the tyres!!! The boys operating at work don’t think so though.. TYPICALS!!! 🙄🙄 Too much testosterone 😏
Women are hired by mines as operators of the really big equipment because they are far less rougher on equipment than men. I like to think of my backhoe as a lady, and try to treat her accordingly so she'll last longer and not break down. Cheers.
you forgot to talk about un even loading of your bucket not only is a danger to the loader operator as well as the driver . not great video but it does have some good points
Sometimes you can load uneven on purpose to even out load in truck just be aware maybe not full bucket as to be safer. If you are smooth and aware you will know it's tippsy and lower load.
Hello! My two year old son (and I) have been enjoying watching your videos! He loves all kinds of trucks! Thanks for making these videos!
These videos are always so helpful and a great refresher to stay safe and slow down while operating heavy equipment. Thank you!

If you dont mind me asking, is your quarry located anywhere near richmond valley? Im working the loader at an asphalt plant. Just curious

Yeah, probably wouldn’t recommend it but still possible as long as you dumped lower.

I usually try to keep the cutting edge of the bucket centered in the tandems bed for equal weight distribution.
Thanks for the comment!
Material has momentum so if you're loading even its not centered
Nice job men

Was anything said about centering the load ? I run a volvo.33o. Big loader .
Could you do a video on how to load a front end loader onto a lowbed?
We’ll see what we can do.
Have you considered making a video of how to operate a dump truck like this one?
Yes, definitely would like to do that as well. We'll add it to our list.
I'm looking forward to that.
Thank you.
I bought a 1973 Ford f-700 DUMP truck and a 10- ton trailer and a 1966 ck 530 case Backhoe 188 Diesel all for the farm
how about to load ah small space area ca you give a teknick about that ?
Can you show how to stock pile but make big stock piles for a rock crusher?
Hmmm...I’ll see what we can do

WHA DO YOU DO WHEN YOU DIG YOUR CAVE AND THE MOUNTAIN IS ABOUT TO FALL ON YOU AND THE TRUCKERS ARE LINE UP PUTTING PRESSURE ON YOU .
You don't dig cave. It doesn't work like that. The material falls down before it makes a tunnel.
Dig up higher so it falls faster

Not on our site. And our loader does not have it built in.

I would agree with this. Park it flat with just a slight downward angle to let it drain.
If yr under pressure for loads it all about position its called the V
A run a 982m a bucket in a half. Filled the truck right up

The dreaded steering wheel
Yeah... it too bad, but agree it’s nice on the larger units with the joystick steering!
I've been spoiled I'd have having to go to a steering wheel now. My current loader has both but the steering wheel blocks out all the gauges
I've been running a couple older 980s with a quarter-steer wheel/stick arrangement and transmission controls on the stick. It's a bit unusual, but not a bad layout compared to a conventional steering wheel.
Dreaded steering wheel AND joystick for bucket controls. Loaders are supposed to have a lever for hoist , and a lever for tilt

Ya spinning tires doesn't accomplish anything except making a mess and Waring them out faster andthey are expensive.
I got a ticket 3 weeks ago. I was at 63,300, only licensed for 56,000. Ticket was $1,424! My dumb a** forgot to put the tag tires down.
Dang...that sucks
Truck angle needs to be opened up more. Wider V? Loader turns less. Quicker cycle time.
