Interesting way of unloading an excavator

Apparently this was filmed in Thailand. I wonder how reliable the trucks are if they keep doing stuff like this.

Grinningevild, it's simply the reverse of what you just watched. Use the arm to lift up one end of the excavator, back the truck up, drive the excavator up.

The truck is about 1/20th of the weight rating it should be though...

My brother in law, who owns two shovels and runs his own business, would load and unload similar to this process. He had a lowboy (a separate trailer from the truck) and so never jacked his into the air as shown here. Basically, though it was use the shovel arm as a jack to get on and off the lowboy. He probably puts more stress on the shovels than on his truck.

I live in Thailand, and unfortunately, this is normal. Third-world developing country for you right there.

Anyways, what they're saying doesn't sound Thai. Maybe Cambodian or Vietnamese.
