Tips on Tip Overs
(continued from page 13)
Should You Clean the Tipped
Unit on Site or Back at the
Yard?
This is a matter of preference and the
realities of the situation. If all things are
equal, it's probably easiest to clean it on
the site. As one longtime operator said
recently, "It's going to have to be cleaned
regardless, and carrying it back to the
yard isn't going to make the job more
pleasant."
On the other hand, if the unit is on an
active site and there is no way to clean
it properly without event disruption
or drawing unwanted attention to the
process, then discretely replacing it with
another unit and cleaning the mess when
you get back to the yard can make sense.
Regardless of which approach makes the
most sense for your situation, you'll want
to get the job done and the equipment
back into service as soon as possible.
