Got a call from a trucker with some dump trailer issues .
On his last load trailer dumped fine but he heard a loud "POP " when the cylinder fully extended . Went to let the bed back down and it locked up on the first section . So there he was with the bed stuck up in the air about 16 feet .
Company where he was hauling to would not assist or even let him leave the truck on the property .
So he limps it across the road to another companies parking lot that would allow him to leave it and make repairs . He had already called two other truck shops and no one wanted the road service call .
We said hell yeah ......
Took Holmes 750 and pickup & trailer full of cribbing . Chain hoist's ,trailer stands , ect .
First thing was get him un hooked , then back the 750 up and lift the trailer .
Ended up setting it on the ground so we could work easier . Then lifted the tub up high enough to get the cylinder out .
Had a chain hoist rigged up in the cylinder well that we used to lower the cylinder down .
All went well .
