Trackhoe started to slide off the trailer in the neighborhood construction site.

The six wheel dup was stuck behind the curb so they brought in a larger truck, tied it down using more binders and just pulled it out. The trailer rails were a little weak on the far side, the chain binders ripped it loose.

Buncha amateurs! I could've moved that thing out with the track-hoe bucket.

That's what I thought and it turns out is what caused the problem. The driver tried to push it out using the boom on the track hoe. That broke the restraints lose and broke off part of the trailer rails. With the trailer surface was sloped, pushing with the boom unweights the tracks and caused to to slip closer to falling off the edge of the trailer.
