Duh,dumper!

Post #1 by lynchy » Tue Sep 06, 2011 12:26 am

Driver decided to head off reversing off the edge of a badly constructed,not by me ,haul road,luckily I was watching him and stopped him before he rolled it or he would be very sorry!40ft earth bank then 60ft retaining wall,not a nice way to get to the bottom!Best of it was he'd been up n down about 50 times before he 'lost concentration!Had to use a tirfor attached to a stout tree to stop the arse end going over,pulled it back up with 8t Komatsu,had bigger machines on site but accessing track by scaffold ramp,10t weight limit!

Yeah spot on that was Bridge Valley rd.I finished there last week,don't think the jobs quite done yet though!All the scaffoldings gone,been up a year i believe?Should slow the traffic up again once the roads open down into the bottom!
