How many of us operators have had that sliding feeling when you are loading a tracked excavator onto a low loader/lowboy trailer. Picture the scene, its cold, muddy and wet the trailer bed is all metal and it is parked on a slight camber, you make it up the ramps and then she just starts sliding off the side!
This happened to me once on an old Hymac 580D and I must say it was a very frightening experience indeed. So just imagine if it was to happen with a massive mining sized excavator like a Komatsu PC5500 for instance?
Well we have received this batch of photos from two of our friends down under which show a machine slip which happened recently.
