Excavators right a flipped articulated dump truck, South Charleston, WV

I came upon this scene in early 2004 while talking a walk during my truck's alarm installation at the Trace Fork shopping center in South Charleston. The articulated dumper's trailer had overturned while emptying its load, and two excavators came to the rescue to pull the trailer upright.
The location here was behind what is now the ice rink (near Lowe's and former Circuit City), between the shopping center and Jefferson Road.

    Cat and Deere put aside their differences to save that big ass dumptruck.

    4 yrs on Volvo A25D never flipped but first time running it never turn from forwards. Rocks cut my front tire in bush making roads. Two greenhorn drivers on Deere articulates flipped there loads but not the cabs. Reasons are old trucks. lol. Amazed that the cabs stayed upright. :)

    All off-road dump trucks are designed for the bed to flip rather the cab.

    The cabs are meant to stay upright when these machines flip.

    Hopefully the driver had the dump control in “down” when that excavator pushed the rods in.

    Whenever you are dumping you must be straight if you have the machine that tells you how much your bed is sideways anything over 20%+ is to much 25% you shouldn’t try it and for him it look like he was trying to turn or dump if dumping going to be either uphill or downhill not sideways of turning wide turns or don’t do it at all

    Never had an articulator flip but it doesn’t hurt them at all just like in the video flip it back over and get back to work. They don’t feel like they will flip over you just have to be in bad conditions
