No fights desired, for sure (I'm willing to be a punching bag to avoid them). We dump with the previous pile o-chips behind us all the time, since we dump at our lot 75% of the time. The shape of the dump pile (anthill-like) lets you back up till your rear wheels are touching the base of the...

We have D-rings on the top of the container so as to crane off the top cap and convert it to a regular dump truck. Haven't used it that way, since we really need a pusher axle on it before we put that much weight on it (in the form of dirt, gravel, or sand).

That is part of the training, that point is very much stressed. No one drives it and no one dumps it without that understanding. Not because of the doors per se, but if you dump unlevel, you could severely tweak the rear dump hinge or break a ram. That container is heavy (understatement).

I'm sure that's true, but we'll be onto an aluminum body by then. The container was just to get us off the ground for the first couple of years. Besides, we have 4 more high cube containers if we need to crib hinges or parts.

We did good on the design, there. Fully intentional that the doors wouldn't hit the ground. We tried to restrain those heavy container doors, but the doors broke the pins several times. Free swinging wins again :D
