Guy Develops Clever Way to Unload Huge Concrete Pipes By Himself
A tiresome solution?
By Rain Noe - Jan 18
Don't try this in front of the OSHA inspector: This anonymous tradesman has developed a that's-so-crazy-it-just-might-work system for getting massive concrete pipes off of a truck by himself.
I suspect he's doing it by himself because all of his assistants were killed during the initial attempts. In fact I think he got the tires by stripping their trucks, since they won't be using them anymore.

Do yourself a favor and check out a product call the Pipemaster by an Iowa company called Hawkeye Pedershaab. Been around since 1956 and works in a similar, albeit much safer and efficient, fashion.
