      @krisstafford74 we thought the toughest wrecker ever was the 1969 Autocar with a Holmes 850. Everyone was surprised when we uprighted empty tractor trailers by using only the 850, pulling off of the side.

    I’m gonna ask a stupid question. 😆 for a friend of course.
    Can someone with a dtu back up to the trailer , put some chain under the casualty around the king pin and to the chain sling attachments on the t bar , and then lift the front of the trailer using the T bar ?
    Then place some cribbing underneath or use the trailer supports they have at these Distribution centers, to hold the trailer up while someone backs under it ?
    I have lifted several dropped trailers loaded with my miller dtu. A reefer just the other day that sank in the mud. I was able to get my t bar under it and then lift and put blocks of wood under the landing gear. Then as one man cranked the landing gear, i slowly lifted the nose of the trailer making sure the landing gear was always touching the wood payed under it.
    Any reason that’s not supposed to be done?

    • @krisstafford74
      @krisstafford74  24 дні тому +1

      I've done it that way as well.. my only problem with that is even though structurally most dtu are rated to handle the weight approx 45k pounds fully retracted that is a ton of weight in a lighter chassis and you are working the truck way harder than it should be

    In this situation , the truck pulled out without the 5th wheel locked.
    I'm a log hauler , our trailers have swing out landing gear (most of them) and obviously the full width footprint to ground of the landing gear provides better stability.
    I've seen van type trailers with crank up landing gear on the ground as in your situation.
    What gives it up ?
    Does the gears in the landing gear ever
    give out ?
    Does the mounting of landing gear to chassis ever buckle/ break ?
    Of course , anything can happen including insufficient solid ground footprint , hot or weak asphalt.
    Driver error.
    But what do you see mostly in landing gear failure ?
    And , I don't know how you tolerate all of the flashing lights especially when the blues and reds are involved with law enforcement & fire .

    • @krisstafford74
      @krisstafford74  24 дні тому +3

      Thanks for watching.. in this case it was the forward movement of the trailer as the landing gear took on the weight of the trailer... They are very strong holding a vertical load but when adding that weight with also the horizontal force from the trailer moving forward will lead to failure quite often
