We receive a delivery of clear crush rock from Jason Trucking's mammoth tridem truck and transfer. This truck even has a sleeper, which is unusual for a dump truck, at least where I'm from.
The truck looks real cool with that spolier! The extra trailer attached within the dump truck is so cool. I never new there were machines like that. The construction world has so many unique things.
Thats was feakin awesome!!!!! That's the first time I've ever seen a truck like that. It's incredable that the hydralic pump on the tractor has enough power to lift the 2nd dump body full of gravel. Amazing set up!!!!!!!
I've driven these trucks since 1993. My last truck was a T-800, 444 Cummins, 18 spd, 8 axle, at 75'. Heavy haul & over length permits, 105,500 lbs. , legal. 32 ton payload, 15,5 truck, 16.5 trailer. Rip-rap, jaw run? No problem. Kinda tricky backing the trailer around residential corners tho...
i've seen one with a full sleep here in PA and it was a Peterbuilt to..but its rare to see them up here like tht...i think it had a Cat in it..transfer dumps are super cool aswell....great vid...just AWSOME!!!!
We have the exact same thing here. We call them pony trailers (some call them pups). We were using them on this site also. But this one is often used for making larger deliveries. This load was 42 tons, which is quite a bit more than most of the pony trucks around here carry. I just didn't bother to record the ponies dumping.
This type of transfer truck is very common here in the Greater Vancouver Area (GVA), the reason that it is not that common in other area is that in colder climates the material freezes on the guide rails of the truck box. Making it tough to transfer. As for the sleeper, this particular truck transfers contaminated dirt to disposal sites farther out of the GVA. Therefore a sleeper is required.
I suppose that's what they call a "slam-bang", right? It sure takes a big turning circle with 3 rear axles on ground, but he handles nice. I also like that you have a guy stopping the traffic, and nobody use the horn against you. That's two things us danes need to learn...
You're right; it's in Canuckistan, which is to the North. The van is probably from Vancouver or Richmond. There are a lot of Chinese (and Chinese targeted) businesses in those towns.
25 tons is pretty good. I think the main idea here is that he can carry more weight in one trip, which saves time, and uses one less driver (wages) to get the same amount of material. Different strokes for different folks, as the saying goes. I hope you'll post a vid of your modified truck. You're right though, it does look like a bloody expensive rig.
Never seen a dump truck like this in person, there should be a-lot more like this in use! im guessing they are really expensive compared to a regular shorter dump truck like you normally see around.
I'm told they have those in some of the southern u.s. states though from some people i know. I was talking about them at work the other day. Its like how they use dump trailers out west for hot mix/black top but they dont around here..
That's the biggest "Slip-In" I've seen so far...we don't have anything that big in Hawai`i. 32 yards max... Beautiful Truck!!! I missed checking out your stuff... Aloha
in the lower mainland of BC (Canada) basically all of our dump trucks are a 4 axle truck and transfers,this is a rare six axle not alot of them cause there is no point. they are only doing 2- 4000 more kgs. there arent many other places that use these truck and transfers other than here...
Thanks bud...much appreciated.... I suppose that we will never see one of these down here in sunny Florida...down here they run old aZs busted up ex-road tractors with a spot welded dump box poorly fitted to it....it is really embarrassing what they run down here
I've dumped big stuff like that, and it's a lot easier on the truck when I stopped it just before the break-away and drop the box which would usually break it loose to slide, and then it would be a little more under control with the box on the way down.
A tridem has the suspension of the 3 axles tied together so they each carry aprox. the same weight. A tri-axle could have independent air lift axles and are not necessarily balanced to carry the same load. Some jurisdictions allow more weight on a tridem, because you can't adjust your weight to overload any one axle. Hope that helps.
The only thing I get out of my truck for is to roll my tarp,other wise I would get fat and lazy .Right now I am just fat.Lets just say you are proud of yours and I am proud of mine.Driven Volvo's and Sterlings both had the Benz motor not impressive no torque.I have pulled a D-9 Cat with my truck.I maybe a little slower but that is in the gears.I would pull you all over Texas ,Oklahoma & Arkansas.I have inter axel and diff lock full four wheel drive .I have a 530 cat 8 LL trans I will keep Baby
they do and the 900 is actully called a w-900 it has a raised hood and u can get a t-800 with a raised hood to to accomidate a bigger radiator im 16 and ive been around kenworths all my life
63.500kg Gvw 140.000Lb legal in British Columbia, Canada Front depending on tire size let's say 6500kg tridem 24000kg tandems 17000kg×2 this is max on the axels , you can't max it out you have to be lighter 1000kg on any of them to be bang on!slightly over kill on the tires for safety! Cheers!
Truck looks like a converted tri axle truck trackter. That would probley explain the sleeper To those outside the Usa this is not a commin type of truck. In the state of Virginia and some other states they have wierd axel weight laws where a simaler type dump truck or other heavy single chassy truck may have between 5 or more rear axels
Trucks don't have lift axels in this part of the country, this is a fully functional tridem drive with fully lockable axels, euro 6×2 !max axle weight 24000kg on drives!
thats a long winded process in australia we have hoists in the trailer just back up tip it drive forward and spin the trailer round so its beside the truck and tip the truck be heaps of room to do it there 3 times quicker for us no unhooking and time wasting i'll have to video it and put it on here so you can see how simple it is
@kimchiman1000 In Finland we have corner shaped bottoms on the truck, and the trailer box is driven by a truck mounted hydraulic engine, that turns drive line on on trailer that pushes the trailer box onto the truck. You just back up to trailer until it locks to truck and start hydraulic engine and the box comes on, it has small iron wheels on the bottom that eases rolling on to truck In finland combination with that axle configuration is legal for total mass of 60 000Kg or abouth 133 000 Lbs
There common here in the Northern California bay area - although the boxes aren't as large, they have the "U" shaped bottom - but what makes them slide into the box on the truck - is it some type of electric motor thats on the trailer?
I have a toy dump truck it's like that one except mine doesn't have the extra trailer on the back however they do make it so if I ever needed an extra trailer I could just get one and attach it to the back and they make the dump trailer specifically for that purpose it's by Bruder toys the dump truck is also made by the same company it's 1/16 scale
Defrost 74: opinions are easily swayed with ones geographic location, Volvo and Scania being your reference. I've operated Volvo, Mack, KW, Peterbilt, Ford, GM etc. highway truck hands down is a Peterbilt, with the KW on its heels. The Volvo was a decent truck but lagged a lot, too much searching for a gear on inclines but had a comfortable cabin. Some will disagree and that's fine, but the Mack is just a beast. If I had one truck I had to use forever, Mack is the answer. Driving a dump off road to sites a distance from paved streets, well, politely, Volvo ain't got it. Petes are decent at it, KW is just a better highway truck. The Fords and GMs aren't a star in any category except tough as hell. Durable, gobs of power for what they are, man, they got Fords I still see on the road today with over a million easy. They do very well in most categories, just don't top the list. I'm not assuming anything, I'm telling you that you've never been to work in a Mack, Pete or KW because your comment wouldn't be there.
i have a daf truck, six wheeled, modified and it can carry up to 25 tons. so, i see all this as a complete waste...the wheels must cost as much as the whole thing, and must be a nightmare to undergo corners with this stuff...
Interesting. I'd never heard before that there was a difference. Good to know these things. So would it be safe to assume that the same concept carries over to tandem axles versus double axles?
I've found when dealing with government regulations it's never wise to assume anything. You would think so, but it would be wise to check out a Weights & Measurements document from your local provincial Highway Dept.
my truck looks exactly like a standard one on sight, i have just modified to a more solid chassis,drive train,hydraulics,braking, suspension and changed to a more powerful engine...surely, my truck wouldn't be able to carry 25 tons in your state, in the legal perspective.
I drive a 2000 Pete 378 with a 36 ft dump and can carry 85,500 lbs legal and I could have shot that in one back..Do it about 18 to 20 times a day,dont need no Swedish meatball to pull that off.,,,,,,Oh I forgot to mention that is with a framless trailer .I dump with one axel on the ground
It's not as big as it seems really.That's a normal load.Don't let the tridem look throw your mind.Trucks with tandem and a drop axle carry a lot more than that.
Meatball or not, could do it faster and with no hassle what so ever. No connectind hydraulic hoses with automatic transfer box. You just have to leave Scania cab once when connecting tractor to the trailer and leaving the dumping place. Hoses and wires are disconnected from the cab. But if You wanna do it in a pre-historic way, it´s ok with me. Should try sometimes an European effective flat-nose. Scania or Volvo. I tried Your equipment, did not enjoy driving them.
This truck will haul almost double of what an end dump will haul, and do it in one trip, and with one driver. The truck in this video had a 42 ton payload. I've not seen an end dump with a load that big; if you put enough axles an end dump, and made it long enough to hold a 42 ton load of rock, the trailer would be too long to go into most of the job sites where this truck must go. Please explain why you think an end dump ('tractor trailer') is more efficient, whereas a transfer is 'retarded'.
Sorry I didn't see the trailer or whatever you call that.. But still some pretty low sides. looks like a euro style dump. How much can you gross on that?? where are you? We use to run some 10 wheelers with a 8 wheel tag along dump. but I guess it wasn't worth the trouble, they didn't last long up in CT.
Back in the 80's we would run around 25 ton when hauling asphalt, but that put us overweight & they wouldn't pay for OW loads, They'd take the load, but only want to pay U for 20/21 ton.
The truck looks real cool with that spolier! The extra trailer attached within the dump truck is so cool. I never new there were machines like that. The construction world has so many unique things.

haha. holy shit. that is big. and the second holder thingy seemed like the rocks just kept coming and coming. lolol
that's a pretty efficient set up, saves time and fuel

Nice truck! I've yet to see any of these in Saskatoon and I work as a loader in various gravel pits!
wtf? 1 truck brought 2 loads at the same time? thats f-ing awesome!
i dont know anything about trucks..but that is one awesome truck
You're right; it's in Canuckistan, which is to the North.
The van is probably from Vancouver or Richmond. There are a lot of Chinese (and Chinese targeted) businesses in those towns.
THAT'S A BAD ASS DUMP TRUCK

That's the biggest "Slip-In" I've seen so far...we don't have anything that big in Hawai`i. 32 yards max...

Aloha
cool that pete transfer has a sleeper
Awesome design.

Awesome truck, !
same here in finland that type of system is normal and normal 90% of the trucks is sleeper but is not the best plase to sleep..
Thanks bud...much appreciated....
I suppose that we will never see one of these down here in sunny Florida...down here they run old aZs busted up ex-road tractors with a spot welded dump box poorly fitted to it....it is really embarrassing what they run down here
I've dumped big stuff like that, and it's a lot easier on the truck when I stopped it just before the break-away and drop the box which would usually break it loose to slide, and then it would be a little more under control with the box on the way down.
42 tons is more than most OTR trucks/trailers weigh loaded! Tranfer trucks rule!
A tridem has the suspension of the 3 axles tied together so they each carry aprox. the same weight. A tri-axle could have independent air lift axles and are not necessarily balanced to carry the same load. Some jurisdictions allow more weight on a tridem, because you can't adjust your weight to overload any one axle. Hope that helps.
that is one big dump truck we don't have anything that big where i work
next time you pop my clutch,,,,,your FIRED
1'st time I've ever seen a class 8 dump truck with a sleeper!! But at 2:42, 3:40 & 5:32; HOLY SHIT!!!!!!
The only thing I get out of my truck for is to roll my tarp,other wise I would get fat and lazy .Right now I am just fat.Lets just say you are proud of yours and I am proud of mine.Driven Volvo's and Sterlings both had the Benz motor not impressive no torque.I have pulled a D-9 Cat with my truck.I maybe a little slower but that is in the gears.I would pull you all over Texas ,Oklahoma & Arkansas.I have inter axel and diff lock full four wheel drive .I have a 530 cat 8 LL trans I will keep Baby
Yes, right up from there. Ha ha , close enough I guess!
there is a guy here in south carolina that has a 379 peter converted into a tri he put floaters on the front traded his sleeper for a 20 yrd ox body
they do and the 900 is actully called a w-900 it has a raised hood and u can get a t-800 with a raised hood to to accomidate a bigger radiator im 16 and ive been around kenworths all my life
@Big4x4
Just more rubber to spend money on. The transfer box seems about the same size anyway.
I drive a tri axle(tridem? lol) in ON, Canada and I'm legal for 23.600 KGS in the box. Gross weight is 82,000 lbs loaded full of fuel.
63.500kg Gvw 140.000Lb legal in British Columbia, Canada
Front depending on tire size let's say 6500kg tridem 24000kg tandems 17000kg×2 this is max on the axels , you can't max it out you have to be lighter 1000kg on any of them to be bang on!slightly over kill on the tires for safety! Cheers!
Да хорошая техника , красота!!!

If you get a chance to video it, I'd like to see that one! Must really burn the treads of the tires just making turns.
Trucks don't have lift axels in this part of the country, this is a fully functional tridem drive with fully lockable axels, euro 6×2 !max axle weight 24000kg on drives!
thats a long winded process in australia we have hoists in the trailer just back up tip it drive forward and spin the trailer round so its beside the truck and tip the truck be heaps of room to do it there 3 times quicker for us no unhooking and time wasting i'll have to video it and put it on here so you can see how simple it is
Thats funny i work in a quarry environment and I'm yet to see something like that... Although maryland only allows to seventy one thousand any way.
ive never seen a truck like that before
woah woah watch the wires!!!! lol. I scared the shit out of the guys at work like this just as a joke lol.
As soon as I saw this I thought he was going to catch those wires and if they had not yelled he would have,
@kimchiman1000 In Finland we have corner shaped bottoms on the truck, and the trailer box is driven by a truck mounted hydraulic engine, that turns drive line on on trailer that pushes the trailer box onto the truck.

It's called a 'high lift' gate.
sounds interesting.
they run sleepers to show on there lie books they were sleepin when they were haulin extra rocks hehe
Seen a quad axle Mack more them several times that one is not too big. I mean 4 drive axles and a steer plus front axle!
There common here in the Northern California bay area - although the boxes aren't as large, they have the "U" shaped bottom - but what makes them slide into the box on the truck - is it some type of electric motor thats on the trailer?
Seems like a lot of work for small loads. I would suggest you check out, "Michigan & Canadian Trucks".
@38decembers
Don't know the yardage, but the driver told me the load was 42 tons overall.
t-800 the w-9 s has a set fwd front axel this has a set back
I've never seen anything like that before.
@Big4x4 I only see a 4 axel truck and a quad wagon not sure where your seeing two extra axels on that truck.
@cnote4461
They are pulled in by a powered chain which pulls on a hook on the second box.
222nd in Maple Ridge.
You were thinking near Moody Park or something?
Coal bucket!!
cool I love it
These kind of trucks are common here in Sweden. Just curious about how much load you can take with this one (also the gross weight)?
I have a toy dump truck it's like that one except mine doesn't have the extra trailer on the back however they do make it so if I ever needed an extra trailer I could just get one and attach it to the back and they make the dump trailer specifically for that purpose it's by Bruder toys the dump truck is also made by the same company it's 1/16 scale

Yep.
Who makes a dump system like that? Never seen one like that before.

Is this taken off of 8th St in New West BC??? It totally looks like it!
@kimchiman1000 42 tons would be 29 cubic yards of gravel.
ahh, have done my research, it is because of the legislation of your states, mine dnt have zat...but wat about the superdump???...
That is a big fucking transfer...
that's a definite first for me where are you all located....where was this filmed ? THANKS
BACK UP THE DUMPTRUCK, WE GOT S2 GAMES COMIN IN STRONG
look at the box van at 3:11. i don't think this is in america..
I've found when dealing with government regulations it's never wise to assume anything. You would think so, but it would be wise to check out a Weights & Measurements document from your local provincial Highway Dept.
big freakin truck!!!!!!!!!!! was it raining?
@RdNkSlDnK13
Don't know if it's an official term or not; it probably is a take-off from the word 'tandem'.
Now there's a winning comment!
What do y'all think, should I delete him, or just let him sit there and look stupid? I'll let the thumbs decide.
if i bought a dump truck how can i go about getting contracts......what do i have to do...
I wonder if that is a W900S or a T800..
The W900S has a nose that is similar to the T800s.
my truck looks exactly like a standard one on sight, i have just modified to a more solid chassis,drive train,hydraulics,braking, suspension and changed to a more powerful engine...surely, my truck wouldn't be able to carry 25 tons in your state, in the legal perspective.

Ah....
For that you'll have to watch some of my other vids.

Those are weird specs south of the border!
Looks like a normal tri-axle where I'm from..My old RD has higher sides than that,, I carry around 20 ton legally.
Donald Bartram That's impressive. I'm lucky if I can carry a few hundred pounds!
(He he - yeah I know... pretty lame joke. 🙄
Sorry I didn't see the trailer or whatever you call that.. But still some pretty low sides. looks like a euro style dump. How much can you gross on that?? where are you?

Donald Bartram This was in Vancouver, BC
I watched a couple other vids.. Quite a setup.. I'd rather just back in & dump.. LOL
63500 what? pounds, kilos gallons, bananas?
I've driven a transfer dump truck
kilo
so around 140 000 lbs
Check out the new "Dump Truck" App for the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch!
its a fuckin dump truck dont think they designed it with aerodynamics in mind.... its not like they even touch the highway? lol
