Dump Trucks Needed for Disaster Cleanup

It has come to my attention that dump trucks are always in short supply right after a hurricane or tornado has hit an area. You should make it a point to have one on hand in the event your area is hit with such a devastating disaster. Looking online for good deals on used heavy equipment is an easy way to start. After doing much searching you should be able to narrow down your search to the best of the lot based on your budget, location and condition of the dump truck or dump trailer. Dump trailers are just as useful for hauling debris and are even more versatile as small ones can be pulled by mid size trucks and large ones by conventional pickup trucks. There are also extra large dump trailers that need to be hauled by semi tractor trucks better know as 18 wheelers. If you find yourself in the market for any of these types of used heavy equipment to no hesitate to visit Florida Earth Movers for some great deals on some good old used heavy equipment.

Types of Heavy Equipment You Need

Sometimes it is difficult to know what size or type of dump trailer or heavy equipment you will need when you are planning to do many different types of work with it. It is best to write down all the different things you want to accomplish with it such as collecting debris to be taken to the dump, hauling dirt for landscaping, hauling cedar chips for landscaping,etc. Think about how much room you are going to need for these tasks.Ask yourself what types of dump truck do you have that can pull your dump trailer, what is its hauling capacity. Look in the owners manual for each vehicle to be sure. These are all questions you need to answer for yourself before shopping around for a dump trailers of any kind. After you have these questions answered it is a good idea to call around to many different manufacturers of dump trucks to see which ones takes the time to answer your questions. Are they pushy and try to rush you into purchasing a certain model without listening to you or do they truly take the time to listen to your concerns? Are they pleasant even after you tell them you will get back to them later? A good salesperson never closes the door but leaves it open to future possibilities.

Transporting and Loading Used Heavy Equipment

Loading and Transporting Used Heavy Equipment
Brian Weseman, president of Towmaster Trailers Inc., in Litchfield, MN, recommends using an angle-iron beavertail to gain maximum traction while loading. “A wood beavertail tends to be more slippery,” he says. "Bulldozers, excavators, and rubber-tired backhoes will get far superior traction on an angle-iron beavertail than on a wood beavertail or ramp, but you need wood if you have a roller. A smooth roller won’t climb an angle-iron beavertail."Driving heavy construction equipment on and off a trailer can be a delicate operation, especially when the terrain isn’t level and flat. Sometimes a site is so uneven that an adjacent roadway must be commandeered for loading and unloading, despite the disruption of traffic.“When you’re loading and unloading, a major concern is to make sure you’re not doing it on a side hill,” cautions Weseman. “Try to minimize the side angle so the equipment doesn’t do the crappie flop---tip over sideways like a fish.”Loading and unloading in wet, muddy conditions causes other concerns. “The softer the ground, the farther into it your lowboy trailer is liable to sink,” Armstrong notes.

Dozers and Loaders Needed For Construction Projects

Dozers and Loaders are probably the most used of all heavy equipment during construction projects. There isn't a day that goes by when you don't see one on the side of the road or out on a developers lot. Of course there are many other types of equipment used when building houses but these two are the most prolific. I would say that dump trucks play a close 2nd to them.
If it seems like I am rambling it is because I sometimes have a hard time coming up with something interesting to say about antique machinery other than that is needs alot of sanding and painting, oiling and TLC but you can't beat the price.
We really need to get rid of these parts cars that are collecting dust out back so please if you know anyone that wants them we will cut them a really great deal.
There are also some really nice looking sports cars such as Used Corvettes.

Why is Heavy Equipment So Important

I can't begin to stress the major roll that heavy equipment has in our lives. From that you see used while driving to work along the freeways to dozers pushing dirt around creating new subdivisions near where you live. Heavy equipment has a great impact on the environment and sometimes it is not always for the better. Even though I sell used heavy equipment I am still loathe to see the clear cutting I saw recently in Houston Texas in the haste that developers are in to put up new houses. They literally stripped acres of land of all trees and bushes leaving a barren wasteland upon which they will be building hundreds of rows of tract housing out in the suburbs. I also see this type of development alot around Orlando Florida. I understand it is much easier to develop land in this manner than trying to spare every tree and shrub. In some parts of Florida you are not allowed to cut a tree down that is over 6 inches without a permit and if you do you have to replant many trees to make up for it. Perhaps the trees these developers plant later are supposed to make up for everything they obliterated but I know it takes decades to replace a full grown pine or oak tree.
In the area I live in we leave at least a 10 ft. swath of land uncleared all around the edges of the property for privacy and try to spare as many trees as possible because the shade really makes a difference in Florida. I don't like rules anymore than the next person when it comes to land clearing but it is a sin to see acres of land completely decimated to build these mega subdivisions. Be a responsible land developer and promote better land clearing practices that save already grown trees.

Small Dump Trucks for Debris Cleanup

I have a small dump truck on my heavy equipment site that would be perfect for debris cleanup after a storm such as tropical storm Ernesto. We didn't get as much rain here as I had hoped but some say that tonight is when it will really hit up here north of Daytona. I hope so otherwise I have to go back to watering all the plants by hand with a garden hose.
I actually have 2 dump trucks on the website a 1988 Ford F150 pickup with dump body on it and I will soon be posting our larger dump truck on there.
We don't be needing it anymore and so it should be on there soon.
If you are interested in dump trucks please fill out the contact form on my used heavy equipment site and let me know.

Hurricane Ernesto Coming to Florida

Hurricane Ernesto is slowly but surely barreling it's way towards Florida today and many Floridians are starting to prepare for the onslaught of high winds and rain.
We do need the rain and are just now starting to get some rain from it up here in the Daytona area but by Wednesday I am sure we are going to see alot more rain than we want.
I am looking forward to the rain as a welcome releif from the heat but along with that will come tornadoes and high winds that I am not looking forward to.
We are all ready here with plenty of water, gasoline, a generator and food set aside just in case its needed. It seems during this time of the year we are in a perpetual state of readiness anyways. We still have our dump truck and backhoe just in case we have to do some heavy duty cleanup. All the vehicles have been filled up with gas and soon we will be moving them away from the trees as an added precaution. Tarps on awnings will be taken down and stowed away, lawn furniture layed down or turned upside down so it's less likely to become a projectile. Hanging plants taken off the front porch. Sometimes it's not until the wind picks up that you realize you forgot something. So Good Luck and God Bless Florida and may all it's people be well prepared.
If you are looking for any used heavy equipment you can find it online at Florida Earth Movers. along with a whole bunch of neat stuff like sports cars, RV's, boats, antique machinery, etc.,.

Can Used Heavy Equipment Help You Prepare?

In these uncertain unsettling times what should we do to prepare?
You should first do the same as when you prepare for a hurricane - you set aside food, medicines, gasoline, batteries, water, a generator, etc.,. but there is much more time to do more than just that.
You can get the heavy equipment you need to get things done now and for things that will need to be done in the future.
If you live in a low lying area you may want to think about purchasing a backhoe to dig trenches to drain off water or a dozer to build up earth around your homestead.
It's always a good idea to have plenty of ponds for your livestock which may need to be dug with an excavator. Post hole diggers are needed for putting up more fencing. Fuel tanks for storing fuel for your equipment which could become scarce as well as more expensive.
Fiberglass storm panels are a cheap but long lasting alternative to plywood for boarding up windows against a storm. A good old reliable dump truck is so handy on the family farm.
Farm Tractors are always needed for pulling the many farm implements to till your fields.
For heavy duty jobs a loader can be used for pushing away debris and piling it up for burning.
I hope this handy list of equipment will help you to think about what you need to think about getting-and soon.

Construction Equipment Needed for Building Shelter

In the Bible according to Peter Chapter 2 Vers 3:8 - "...do not ignore this fact the day of the Lord will come, when not expected the heavens will rend with a loud noise and be dissolved with fire - so live your life in holiness."
Is this not warning enough that our precious ozone later is being slowly burnt away as more and more carbon is released into the atmosphere by human kind creating a blanket of noxious gases that contribute to the warming of our atmosphere.
Build ye a shelter against the coming of the days when the sky will burn like fire. You will need much construction equipment with which to build this shelter. Backhoes for digging into the ground to build a storm shelter. Payloaders will be needed to move the dirt and construction materials around such as cinder block and bags of cement for the walls of your shelter.
Wheel loaders for loading soil into used dump trailers to tranport it to where you need it most.
Keep thy mind upon the task at hand for it shall become most laborious as the heat becomes more fierce...toil away now as it will only get worse. Knowing you will soon have shade and shelter when others do not will keep you focused on the task at hand.

Ends Time Approaching - It's Time to Prepare

In the Holy Bibles "Letter to St. Jude" it says; "In the last times there will be scoffers following their own ungodly passions" and I heartily agree. I see people scoffing all over the place when they should be preparing for the coming end times.
Your reap what you sow and if you are just sitting around on your doorstoop watching the world go by you will surely reap nothing when you will be needing it most.
You will need much heavy equipment to prepare your lowlands for the coming floods to dig drainage ditches and barriers against the coming of the rising waters.
Ponds can be dug with backhoes to provide dirt for higher ground to put your trailer on.
Store fuel for your used heavy equipment in large above ground fuel storage tanks for when diesel is harder to come by and prices are higher. Mend yer fences to protect your flock and to keep out unwanted predators. You may want to have set aside a dump trailer for a place to put debris after the coming storms and hurricanes. It may be that trash pickup will be put off so you may need a place to put your trash so you can take it to the dump yourself.
You may also want to install the tracks neccessary for hurricane storm panels in preparation so it will be easier to protect your windows when a storm approaches.
God helps those who help themselves and you will be happier for your efforts in the coming days.

Scorching Heat a Sign of the Coming Apocalypse?

Broiling temperatures in the 90s and beyond gripped large swaths of the USA on Monday, sending people scrambling for the shade and prompting officials to open air-conditioned buildings and take to the streets to rescue the homeless and elderly.
On the streets of New York, a spot in the shade competed with a parking space as a valuable commodity. Men and women made their way under narrow awnings, lounged under trees and took breaks beneath the umbrellas of hot dog stands.
Could this be the sign of the coming Apocalyse where the earth is burned mightily by fire?
Is this the beginning of the wrath of God! Will the seas reach their boiling point? as it says in revelations.
Be prepared country folk and wary ones and make way for His coming.
Used Heavy Equipment will be sorely needed in these trying times. Wells for water will need to be dug. Fuel tanks for storing up diesel fuel for your heavy machinery as you never know when there will be a run on the gas stations.
Backhoes will be needed to dig holes to plant more shade trees. Be sure to have a fishing boat set aside in case of flooding or the need to fish for your own food.
If you need to evacuate in case of a hurricane you may want to get an RV which also comes in handy in case your electricity goes out. You can run the generator in the RV to stay nice and cool.

Cleaning up Storm Debris

After all the news about global warming, bird flu and mad cow you just know that this year is going to be a bang up year for hurricanes. Knowing how the past 2 years have been here in Florida now is a good time to plan ahead and have a good dump trailer on hand. Or at the very least a dump bed for your pickup for those big cleanup jobs. Even if you don't need it you or your teenagers can sure make money helping those that do. I found some great dump beds for pickups at Florida Earth Movers and ended up buying one for our Ford F150. We just threw all those palm fronds, branches and shovel fulls of debris in the bed and dumped it into a big pile for burning later. It was a whole lot easier than using a wheel barrow. We didn't get hit that bad around here so it was mostly yard cleanup but it was alot bigger than just plain yard work. We lost a few pine trees and maples that had to be cut up. So plan ahead and get yerself the biggest dump bed or dump trailer you can afford-I hear this years gonna be just as bad as last year if not worse. You can't help but think that looking at all the bad weather in the midwest and most recently Australia. We get tornadoes here too but I haven't seen anything that bad yet.
God Bless and hope you'all have a safe and happy summer.

Horsemen of the Apocalypse are Coming-Prepare!

Even though it has been 2 months since wildfires roared across Interstate 95 in Brevard county leaving backyards of hundreds of homeowners covered in soot, ash and burned trees and shrubs. There is still not enough rainfall to quench the parched and thirsty ground. One man lost his entire collection of antique trucks to the flames. Homeowners tried in vain to water their lawns as the smoke started coming closer to them. The firefighters did the best they could to keep the flames away from homes but there was still alot of damage. Burned up cars, patio furniture, swing sets, everything you normally have in your back yard can burn and melt from the intense heat. Times like these call for an enormous cleanup effort and there are still 2 months of summer yet for Florida. The drought here shows no signs of letting up, everyone is trying to conserve water, some people are worried their wells may run dry soon if we don't get some rain. These are unusual weather conditions for this time of year in this part of the country. A sign that we should all be prepared for more unusual weather ahead. Intense heat is what heats up the oceans and brings in those massive hurricanes. Even if you don't plan to stick around for the onslaught you will still be coming back to a mess to clean up afterwards. So now is the time to think about buying some good used heavy equipment before you need it. A wheel loader to move fallen debris around is a must. Even if you don't need it you can be sure there will be someone that would pay to use it. Now is the time to prepare for the coming of the apocalypse of hurricanes that global warming has wrought. Pray for deliverance from the onslaught and be prepared in these uncertain times. Install hurricane storm panels on your windows for added hurricane protection.

Uses of Heavy Equipment

The use of heavy equipment varies in different applications, from civil engineering or infrastructure and military, to other heavy construction developments as well as agricultural and forestry projects. Military equipment includes everything from tanks to aircraft carriers, while civil engineering applications use implements from large cranes to much smaller tools such as jackhammers. Infrastructure projects often include highway repair and maintenance, bridges and overpasses, and projects such as interstate bypasses.
Heavy construction generally refers to building playgrounds or parks and large buildings such as office complexes or shopping centers. Backhoes, bulldozers, and other earth moving equipment are frequently used to break ground, while cranes are often used to place large beams and framing elements. Agricultural interests include farming, which uses heavy equipment such as tractors, combines, harvesters, and balers. Landscaping may be included in both agricultural and forestry categories, utilizing heavy equipment such as log splitters, tillers, mowers, chippers, and stump pullers.

Disaster Cleanup After Hurricanes

A leading US. government storm expert blames last year's devastating hurricane season on global warming which is making the oceans hotter. "The hurricanes we are seeing are indeed a direct result of climate change and it's no longer something we'll see in the future, it's happening now," said Greg Holland of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo.
Is that enough warning for you?
How much more heads up do you need-get out the survival gear-we are in for a long hard storm season ahead.
Plan A: be prepared for the storm and
Plan B: be prepared for cleaning up after the storm.
One way to make cleanup easier is to get a used dump trailer. I can't emphasize enough how much easier it is to cleanup after a storm with one. It's great to have a place to throw all that storm debris and a way to haul it off for easy dumping. I think I've written enough about how to find the one that is right for you in previous articles so get started and find a used dump trailer now while the weather is fine.
You might also want to find a used backhoe or wheel loader to push debris around with and for easy loading into your used dump trailer.

A dump trailer is a trailer used for transporting materials (usually gravel or some type of soil) for construction. A typical dump trailer is equipped with a hydraulically operated open-box bed hinged at the rear, the front of which can be lifted up to allow the contents to be deposited on the ground behind the truck at the site of delivery.

How to Know What Type of Dump Trailer You Need

It's difficult to know what size or type of dump trailer or heavy equipment you will need when you are planning to do many different types of work with it. It is best to write down all the different things you want to accomplish with it such as collecting debris to be taken to the dump, hauling dirt for landscaping, hauling cedar chips for landscaping,etc. Think about how much room you are going to need for these tasks.Ask yourself what types of dump truck do you have that can pull your dump trailer, what is its hauling capacity.

Heavy Equipment Mechanics

Heavy equipment mechanics repair and maintain equipment such as graders, backhoes, and loading shovels.If you've ever hiked a trail that was once an old logging road, you know that these are often located "off the beaten path." If you think the hike was difficult, imagine what it must have been like to drive a logging truck on that road. Trucks used to drive to distant forests miles away from cities and towns. Then they chugged up steep elevations, winding or zig-zagging up the sides of mountains. Constant wear on the engine, clutch, and brakes meant that trucks often broke down. Decades ago, it used to take a day or more to fix trucks. However, nowadays, heavy equipment mechanics have many more tools at their disposal when trucks and other equipment break down.Heavy equipment mechanics repair machines used in heavy equipment construction, logging, and other industrial work. They maintain equipment so that it operates properly and safely. When equipment breaks down, they examine it for defects. Mechanics often use hand-held computers to diagnose components that need repair. They may take the equipment apart to inspect or repair various parts. Sometimes they use jacks or hoists to lift or move large parts.Heavy equipment mechanics check parts for damage using gauges and meters. They may clean parts by spraying them with or soaking them in solvent. They grease and oil parts that need it. Mechanics repair or replace damaged or worn parts. They use hand tools to remove the parts and machine tools to repair some parts. If necessary, mechanics use welding equipment to weld broken frames or parts. When repairs are complete, they reassemble the equipment and test it for performance and safety.Heavy equipment mechanics who work in large repair shops perform more complex repairs. They may rebuild engines, fix electrical problems, or repair hydraulic pumps. A hydraulic pump is one that is operated by fluid under pressure. Mehanics in large shops often specialize in one or two types of work. For example, a shop may have specialists in major engine repair, transmission work, electrical systems, and brake systems.
