INTERESTING LOADER COMBINATION

[mark.r]

I think it would be a really bad idea, liability wise, to design something that would purposely move stones over the top of the operator to dump them behind him.

It would be an accident waiting to happen, regardless of the strength of the ROPS.

Tim, I see you are in MD. Well Washington Gas has dump trucks that do just that. The have loaders that dump into the body over the top of the cab. They are made for use in tighter quarters of the cities. I'll see if I can find a picture. I don't thing this Z thing is designed like that though.

I'm with J_J on this one.

- From the layout of the arms and cylinders.
- The mention of the 70+" lift height.
- The bucket appears to be wider than the dump bed.
- It looks like if the arms went high enough to dump over the cab it looks like they would shear off those side mounted lights.

I googled "self loading dump truck" and got a few hits. Gere's one.
