Started picking up its own engine oil didn’t it.
What a plank though. Common sense would tell you it was never going to pick that skip up long before it got to that angle.

14 yard bin full of well packed down soil would be about 15/16 ton. No sign of the driver I’m guessing he has put a bungee ■■■■■■■■ the lever and gone off to get the customer to sign his ticket.
All our skip lorrys have a button you have to keep your finger on to operate the controls to stop this

That probably explains it then. Would like to hear that conversation with his boss.

I’ve seen DIY’ers climb onto a skip filled with muck and use a wacker on it.
Having said that I loaded a standard skip with ballast years ago and the Ford Cargo wouldn’t lift it.

His lunch box…
FTW ? 
Some builders down the road from me were having an empty one dropped on a steep drive way and just dropping the empty was lifting the front axle off the ground a bit. I said to them drop it on the road cos you’ll never lift that out again. They ignored me and five days later I waved, when I went past with the dog, whilst they were shovelling it all out again.

Same thing’s happened a few times on those lifts that tip chipliners when drivers a have left the engine running.
Thats why when i did a couple of days skip work where I am now I took my time. I had never done it before and was shown in the yard how to work the controls. So went and did two skips and then the boss of the skip drivers told my boss not to bother sending me over to give them a hand as I was to slow. I didn’t see the issue as if I didn’t drive the skip lorry it would have sat in the yard for the day so I thought two skips delivered and collected with no damages/issues was good work and two less skips for the ‘pro’ drivers to do.
I was very happy when I was told I wouldn’t have to help the skip division again

if ballast is well packed down it can be the same weight as concrete, so 14 cubic yards could weigh just under 24 ton, (14 cubic yards of well packed down earth could be 17 ton)

My button is wedged with a splinter. Gives me 2 hands to operate dam hydraulics. If your lorrys front axles coming off the ground u stop lifting and pack up your legs.
The more u pack up the more u can lift. altho 9t must be a limit. for 18,5 t lorry. Once had 6 yard skip full of wet clay+soil 10t. ups.
That lorry has 3 axles. So i guess he can carry more.
judging by the smoke coming out it’s not doing the engine much good oil wise

I applied for a skip job with a company in Swindon[went bust after its recycling centre went up in flames] and was told a good skip driver can do eighteen skips a day,i thought no chance and left it at that,that was a possible stress job,didn’t need it
u can do 30 a day.
It all depends on what u need to do.

Oil would have gone out of range of the pick up for the oil pump…engine would run with no oil pressure wrecking the crankshaft bearings and turbo…
