  1. One of those dumper things would have been awesome back when I was hand unloading Chinese crap at Amazon.

    1. It’s how chip-truck (trailers) have been unloaded for a long, long time. It’s just supposed to be detached from the tractor before the unloading is done.

      1. Yes, but both the tractor and trailer are supposed to be on the lifting ramp.

        No speekee enlglis driver couldn’t understand directions?

      2. “It’s how chip-truck (trailers) have been unloaded for a long, long time. It’s just supposed to be detached from the tractor before the unloading is done.”

        There is one out in Port Kells (Surrey) that lifts both the tractor and trailer, but they have a mechanism to fasten them pretty securely before they lift.

  2. One of the last comments on the video was about how good the kingpin was for that tractor/trailer rig. Well, I’ll bet it isn’t a really good kingpin any more.

  3. I’ve seen that done lots.
    Not quite the same way, but lots nonetheless.
    The truckers watching sound like retards.

  4. Weeks later that kingpin is going to fail and the resulting accident will kill somebody. And because they got away with it this time with no apparent harm, they will keep doing it. So what was the reasoning to do something this stupid?
