Lizza Sand and Gravel in Pine Hollow RD in Oyster Bay still had 1 or 2 in the early 1960's. My uncle usually got the wheel of one.

Hobert62 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Ok, young pup here. What is a cable pull dump trailer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post j hancock Posted March 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2019 The winch cable pulled the trailer suspension forward. This action made the dump body raise up. Release the winch and the body would lower. Steering wheel holders need not apply. 5 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 One of the former foundries around here ran one into the 90's. Used it in the "slag pit" as very little to wear in the abrasive atmosphere. Pretty neat to watch as no hydraulics involved. Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

carlotpilot Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 this was basicly a cabless dump truck that you drove facing the dump end . they did not have hydraulics so you drove the thing toward the pile or where ever you were hauling to when you got where you wanted to dump you declutched it and stood on the brakes and hauled back on a huge lever, that and your momentum is what dumped the thing.

j hancock Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 OK. A Koehring Dumptor is the rig you are describing (I think). I will post in Tractors and Equipment. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
