Per Paul McGeorge at the Boyne Falls Truck & Trailer Specialities store, Ogema County Road Commission received a “recommendation from MIOSHA” to use dump props, like shown on webpage, after Wexford County crushed the props supplied by truck body company while trying to support a dump truck with fully loaded slip-in hopper. The body props that are installed on trucks during set-up are rated for an empty dump body only. Truck and Trailer Specialties now have the distributorship for the dump-lock product in the state of Michigan. These body props are priced reasonably, especially when you consider what they will prevent. I have never personally witnessed anyone crushed under a dump body and don't particularly care too. Have had the "byjesus" scared out of me while adjusting dump body stop cables and did see a mechanic get his finger severed by a falling roll over protection cab on a dozer. Tragic accidents can and do occur. Call Paul or Lucky at the Boyne Falls store for pricing: (888)-603-5506.
