This is how the flatbed traillers without tippers are offloaded, kaa mujuavyo time is money na lazima offloading ifanyike haraka iweskanvyo. kaa huamini handbrake yako hio truck inainuliwa ukiwa ndani umekanyanga brakes

je wewe, would you remain in the cab truck ikiinuliwa?

shait i once did that, wasnt actually driving the rig, it was just for the thrill and curiosity (had been asking too many questions so i was given a chance to sit in the cabin)

When the truck is almost vertical and the load starts falling off, there is that slight shaking and slight backward motion and scary metal clicking nouse when the load and gravity are dragging the truck against the stop barriers, i nearly pissed on my self, actually now that i think about it, i must have passed a couple of drops.

but the adrenaline rush for a newbie, its un-matched, an absolute high, you walk out of the truck and your whole body is trembling, you can barely support your self

its actually very safe, where i was doing it, they offload atleast 400 loads that way on a daily basis

They dont even switch off the trucks when doing that or even apply hand brakes, it works like the London bridge, you park your rig, then an operator raises some huge metal supports which hold the track (between the engine and trailer) and the rear most axle, this supports prevent the truck from sliding backwards, then they lift the bridge, can support 100+ tonnes.

but as you probably know, there is that ka space between the stoppers and axle because when its flash on the ground (horizontal) it has to leave some space.

now when its almost at the top, it slightly moves backwards with massive force and slams on the stoppers , thats where a newbie calls their mother
