here the dangerous part, and this is from personal experience, a single hoist is mounted in the center of the bed as well as the truck frame weather its a front hoist or a scissors lift, a twin cylinder hoist has the cylinders mounted outside the trucks frame on each side, fairly stable, until a hose breaks, and they will break, eventually, when that happens the cylinder with the broken hose collapses, if the load is still partially on the bed at this time this will pull the truck over on its side, 100% of the time, the first time i saw this a man standing 10 feet from the truck was killed, when the truck landed on him, the second time i saw this the truck driver lost his arm which was thrown out the cab window and crushed under the truck cab when it landed on its side, ive heard of many other twin cylinder mishaps, but these 2 i saw, [ the truck was repairable in 1 of these], by comparison a single cylinder hoist is a little less stable but only requires a driver with some common sense to dump the truck on level ground, in case of a hose failure the cylinder collapses, straight down onto the truck, if its still loaded it may or may not bend the truck frame, and it will make the driver and anybody standing in the area need to change his pants, but they will still be alive, and the truck may still be fixable,, after all my years around dump trucks i would never have a twin cylinder setup,

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
