Mini Dumper Van Transport: What Could Go Wrong?

Can a Cargo Van Haul a 3,000 lb Mini Dumper? 🚚💨 Will it fit? Will it crush the van? Is this a terrible idea? Watch and see! I took "Van a White," my Chevy Express 1500, on a 60-mile mission to pick up a new companion for the Crazy X (my mini excavator): an SDL25 Mini Tracked Dumper. With a 3,000 lb capacity and a need for speed (well, 10 mph), this machine is a beast, but getting it inside a cargo van is a "sketchy" level of complicated. #MiniDumper #ChevyExpress #SDLD25 In this video: The Struggle: Removing grab bars and folding seats just to clear the door The Loading: Using a tow truck rollback as a bridge and "slam-shifting" it into gear to move it. The Unloading: A solo mission involving forks, ramps, and cranking the engine with the spark plug pulled to "crawl" it out. Can you do it? Yes. Should you? Probably not. Stick around to see if I survive the unloading process, and subscribe for the new "Pimp My Dumper" series! ________________Video Chapters (so you can skip to the GOOD parts!)_____________________ 00:00 Introduction 00:19 What IS A Mini Tracked Dumper?? 00:32 My Marketplace search 01:01 My final decision on FB Marketplace 01:18 The trip to Acosta, PA 01:49 The song...Big Rigging a Mini Dumper 03:01 Arriving at the Seller's Place 03:14 Struggle #ONE 04:08 Struggle TWO: Using a Rollback as a bridge 04:29 Removed the Grab bar and trying to slide it into the van 05:05 Trying to slap it in gear while idling to move it in the van 06:24 Success!!
