I load finished gravel at the local quarry in va. DOT and scale wagon bad around here. I most put the stone up front. If it's a shollo bed I will flatten the peak so they don't look as full . Taller beds ain't no problem. We get MHHA inspection from time to time and have to keep piles beamed and trimmed to keep ever one safe . Company policy requires us to load on left side of the truck and drivers must stay in cab . If not we will not load until they are . A lot more I could say but I am no operator. Been running loader about 30 years and still no operator. Can stand people whe say they are and get on a machine and they like a deer in headlites . Thank you for sharing. Really enjoy it

I always check that the tail gate is latched when loading first bucket. If latch is not visible I put first bucket near tailgate. Gate will pop open and u only have one bucket on. Always keep truck as close as possible to pile.

I'm not an expert! Main thing to remember is never rush. Always be aware of your surroundings. Eye contact with coworkers is very helpful. For drivers, they should pay attention to the operators. Keep the radio volume down. Back up slow, no need to rush.

Excellent advice...thanks for sharing!

Excellent Your video

For lighter material you can load much higher and fuller. On a quad axle you get bucket overlap in the middle as you can see in the video so the pile stacks higher in the mid and less front and back. For last couple buckets you want to go in at an angle so your bucket is stacked to one side then dump towards the opposite side of the pile in the truck. This gives you a more even load for your driver . You can also push down and through the material in the truck to make sure the material is spaced evenly in the truck since the side you load from will usually be more stacked than the far side. Skim and pat the top and you got a full load.

One tip. Take a sight line when approaching the truck. Near top edge of dump body to a point far side of dump body. Load it with keeping that sight line the same. To load even weight side to side.

@Heavy Metal Learning this would also apply for track loaders too

I need this

Between rounds I always leveled the area the loader ran on. Saves time and the loader is not bouncing and rolling side to side with an elevated load. My best day was just over 500 Tonnes of scaled legal loads in 12 hours. Averaged a truck ever 3 min with a 180 Volvo, Load Rite electronic scale which was accurate to 250 kgs on a 40 tonne load.

Thanks for the tips! Yes what I usually do is coat the bed with dirt or very small pieces of concrete. Once in awhile I get that renegade concrete that wants to do what it wants. I'm paying a little more attention with smaller buckets and so far no problems.

Where is this located

Question- what's your opinion on bucket position when you park a loader? We work with salt or sand stockpiles, usually in wet, winter weather conditions, and I was always taught to A), never shove the bucket back into the pile, and B), roll the bucket forward to prevent some of the water or snow from collecting in the bucket. I see a lot of the guys doing the opposite of these things nowadays.

@Sam Style Style Our buckets and moldboards are more rust than enamel lol. Seriously, I don't understand why we don't have the snowplow MBs and the loader buckets sandblasted and repainted every couple of years. Rust and corrosion not only increases the likelihood of weld failures, etc, but can make it difficult to find those faults during pre-trip inspections.

@xx5zi

@Sam Style Style the state has a protocol for increased frequency of inspections, lubrication, etc, for any equipment used in winter maintenance operations. So far, our Case, Deere and Volvo loaders are not experiencing seal failures more often than similar equipment in better conditions.

I never load a truck if driver is not in the cab, also your loading on the wrong side , I never load a truck on the blind side.. I always load on driver side because sometimes drivers don’t have radios and it’s safer.(always have eye contact) Also one more tip always set yourself up 1st with the bucket in the air and have the driver back in at a 45°. Never adjust to the truck driver always set yourself up first, Make sure your floor is level and you’re comfortable and safe to load a truck!

Well thanks for that!

You had a 3.3 yard bucket on that 270. You always start loading your dump truck from the front to the back. Or you spilt the box 3-4 buckets in the front & 3-4 buckets in the back. Always help your driver out to pack the material, so they can tarp. A trip axel holds about 15 yards or 13-15 ton depending on how the box of the truck is. Quad Axel dump trucks can hold 20T or 20- 25 yards of aggregate.

Wait until you get to run a 994K loading 264 ton trucks. Couldnt imagine anything better!

A run a 982m a bucket in a half. Filled the truck right up

Sometimes you can load uneven on purpose to even out load in truck just be aware maybe not full bucket as to be safer. If you are smooth and aware you will know it's tippsy and lower load.

Truck angle needs to be opened up more. Wider V? Loader turns less. Quicker cycle time.

Hi I am loader operator

how this soo much sand come here

I can’t imagine loading with anything smaller then a cat 980.

I'll take my old 1973 980B or '86 980C over a new loader anyday.

Press that load, never leave it like that and you can use your bucket to even it to the back.
