![]() The remaining bricks then pulled the front of the loader back down causing the remaining bands to break and the rest of the bricks to fall off. This sudden jerk caused some of the men to loose their grip and most fell off. So the back of the loader came crashing back down. The pallet of bricks hit the ground, breaking a couple of the bands, allowing enough bricks to fall off, so the men were now enough counter weight to lift the remaining bricks. The instant the pallet came off the truck, it fell, lifting the rear high in the air, the men hanging on for dear life. They did not have enough guys so could not pick it up, so they backed the loader, sliding the pallet off the trailer. That gave them enough lifting force to then slide a full pallet off the truck. They got more guys and had them stand on the back of the loader as additional counter weight. They did this to remove a couple of the pallets. A very logical but time consuming process. ![]() ![]() So the workers got an empty pallet, off loaded some of the bricks onto the empty pallet until they could pick up the pallet on the truck. The loader could not pick up a full pallet. I once witnessed a landscaping crew with a very small articulating loader trying to unload flatbed 18 wheeler filled with pallets of paving bricks. I think the odd looking rear differential housing is discolored from an oil leak causing it to look damaged. The center of gravity moves closer to the front wheels, thus decreasing the lifting power. As rear the wheels go higher, the lifting force actually drops. The maximum force exerted to lift a load with a loader like that happens the instant the rear wheels come off the ground. The video reflects a dangerousl uninformed operator. As mentioned previously, a broken hydraulic line could very well lead to serious damage. Yes indeed there is a lot wrong with that video.
