Kingston,Mi | We tipped a 3 ring 6 ft. bin over on to my cousins long 5th wheel trailer. Backed up to the legs, passed a loose chain around the pair closest to the trailer to keep the bin in the vicinity of the trailer. Had several 10:00 x 20 tires on the deck for it to land on. Youngest brother and the owner anchored the load with the intention of slowing the descent by releasing the 3/4 inch nylon rope we had passed over the layer house the bin served. Had already removed the anchor bolts, everyone in position, hollered let's do it. Girl friend and I lifted on the remaining legs until it was starting over, then ran away from the bin and watched tip, accelerated a little then land on the tires without any damage. Brother and owner called out to ask when we were going to start. we went around the layer house and saw the 2 of braced with the rope stretched taunt (had started that way), they said they never released any rope, it just stretched. | |
