Tipping dog trailers down-under....Vic explains it all thanks to Biglorryblog thanks to Jackson RoadHaul!

Pay attention! In case you think this is a truck parked alongside a trailer read on....Vic Hungerford e-mails me to say: "Hi Brian, following on from Bob Tuck's photos the other day about tipping trailers, 4-axle dog trailers are normally used here in NZ, and in Australia as Pete has said. I'm sure Bob would have seen many of them when he was here as they have been around for years. These photos are taken from Jackson RoadHaul's website showing a small part of their fleet....but the first photo shows how the tipping is done; the trailer is still connected to the truck. The driver backs the trailer up to the tipping point, tips the load off then pulls forward and jack-knifes the trailer to this position and tips the truckload off. Easy after a bit of practice!"
