My Boss asked if he could use my truck to pick up some product for testing the robotic palletizing cell that we are building. I made the assumption that they would be tossing 20 or so 40lb bags in the back. I just about crapped my drawers when my truck pulled in with this load on. These pallets are 96" tall.:eek:

I guess about 3500 lb, imagine if they'd of had to slam the brakes hard, how that would've crushed his cab. :) J/K
 
You call that work? haha just kidding.
I tried a pallet of corn in my half-ton, it wouldnt turn out of the parking lot.
 
Wow thats a tone of weight! Doesnt even look like its squating!! :thumbsup:

Ya it does look like the load is shifting a little close to the cab. No you know what it will haul! :ihih:
 
I guess some good will come out of this, work is going to pay for a spray in bed liner. After a closer look the fork truck driver hit one of the wheel wells while "pushing" the skid in the truck and colapsed one of the corners:wtf:

I think I would have been pissed at him........Did he tie off the load or just let the plastic wrap hold it? Personally I think it was kind of CS of him not to tell you what he was hauling. At the cost of a spray in bedliner it would have been cheaper for him to have it shipped to the yard! People suck sometimes especially bosses:banghead:
 
several years ago, saw a truck with pallet of deer corn, stopped suddenly---but corn didnt. the corn went through rear window, across the extended cab to the dash. emt's were pulling him out of truck covered in corn. fifty pound bag to back of head cant feel good. two weeks ago, dude pulls out of home depot and leaves most of his sheetrock at the light.
 
Didn't think to take a pic of it at the time, because I have hauled more, but I loaded mine with 48 sacks of Quickrete @ 80 pounds each 3840 lbs. with 27 psi in my air bags, pulled like normal
