Cutting starts today

The paper mills in Wisconsin use the same type of truck lift to unload trailers. I remember the story years ago where a trucking company came in with chips in a regular dry van trailer, as soon as it went up to unload the sides caved in like a pop can.  Figured out quick they needed vents cut into the walls at the front of the trailer.

Even with vents, there is a noticeable sucking in of the trailer walls.

I used to send  chips to whitefield,they were open 24-7 back then ,dump your own load. you need a lot of vents in those trailers or you are asking for trouble!! looks like there doing a nice job keeping that young understory  upright, once they leaf out and the winds come up you will probably have a bit more firewood.

Yes and it will be possible to see it and get to it !!!

Grain elevators and cotton oil mills had those lifts too. I have used them with tandem grain trucks, but we had walking floor trailers, so bypassed them. I did get to see a nice pete that was on one at an oil mill when she broke and came crashing to the ground, lots of damage and the hood flew off to the side.

Out on the mill road from Deersdale to Nackawick the chipping vans were extra wide and not allowed on the highway. I can tell ya those things sure do sway back and forth. ;D Their tree length trucks the same, terrible wide beasts. You want a radio for sure. ;)
