    lower bedsides=longer reach for smallish excavators maybe? Seems like those 4 axle eurotrucks have really long beds to load from the back.

    Its the latest device to prevent overloading by those nasty digger drivers that always insist on filling bodies up to the top, irrespective of how heavy or wet the material is. :cool2 Darned if I ever saw anything like it before :beatsme Maybe they dont tip. The driver has to shovel the load off!
