For articulated dumptrucks it is pretty easy to roll over. That is why an ejector system is good. You dont have to tip the bed to dump the load then. Minimizes the risk of rolling over.

Volvos Customer Center is situtated here, actually just a few km:s (1/3 of a mile) from my home.
Sometimes I´m temporarily hired as a driver for Volvo when they have shows for big customers, the Volvo days or as in this case (last winter) for their own 200 biggest bosses worldwide.
I was asked to drive the new A25 in the show. I said: "Ok, but I´ve never driven an articulated hauler".
Peter (always with a quick comment making us all laugh) answered "That seems to be the case for most hauler drivers on construction sites to!". :mrgreen:

If anyone wonders: No, I didn´t tip over. And no, it´s not difficult at all to drive.
But as all other machines it takes a skilled driver to drive it to it´s limits. I have seen the drivers from Volvo Braås where the haulers are made and developed. Those drivers take their haulers (full or empty) anywhere without any fear for obstacles, terrain, steep hills up/down etc. And if they wanted to they would do it with a cup of coffe in one of their hands looking really relaxed. Thumbs-up!
