Very cool, I have seen some videos of these in action before, but what holds the truck to the tipper? Do you just back the trailer up against a bumpstop or is there some type of latch that actually holds the truck and trailer in place?

The driver better make sure everything is stowed away in the cab, and take his cofee cup with him or he will have a real mess when he climbs back inside.:)

This is my profession,and yes the truck and trailer just stay on the tipper from gravity and yes everything flies in the sleeper when it is raised up.;)I also had just a trailer tipper and we never chained the trailer to the platform.

Cuttings from a chainsaw should be pretty spot on for chips.

Re: CHIP TRAILER
 

Rough cedar chips for animal bedding or maybe wood pellets would make the best chip material. Just don't get it wet:cop:

I use a velmex unislide b2500 series, 34 inch long and a high torque drill from harbor freight tools, i have to do some mod but till now work good.

Awesome! It looks like the platform is sagging a little though. Easily fixed by running some metal or wooden stringers along the edges of the plywood, to add some rigidity. I like that truck too!
