Can i drag a empty 5k lbs dumpster 10ft?

it’s got wheels. If it’s dropped on pavement, it will move
I am assuming it’s on pavement

 

Personally I would just call and have them reposition it. If you do attempt post a video.

 

Got a Friend with a Duramax diesel....

 

Ha it’s an off road!
Try crawl.
Seriously call and have them move it and talk to whoever dropped it!
This new age lacks common sense !

 

If it's like every other 20 or 30 yard can I've ever seen, it has rollers on one end and skids on the other. Or possibly skids on its entire length.

 

Rent a uhaul if you really need to

 

This right here! 10/10

 

Respectfully disagree.. It would be no different than doing a burnout. Takes X amount of torque to break the tires free and spin. Driveline components should be able to withstand that.

Honestly though I think most important part of this Friday thread is the rigging. Some old rusty 1/4" chain looped over the tow ball should be just right!

 

Hmm, yeah, that's a good point. As long as the dragging setup isn't done in a way that adds a lot of tongue weight / down-force to the hitch/receiver/tow ball.

 

Just trying to get the thing moving from a stop isn't going to put any more stress on the driveline than it's designed for. The engine outputs X torque, the driveline parts are rated for that torque multiplied by the gearing reduction s, so you should be good. It's when you start bouncing or jolting things that the impulse / shock loading can get you in trouble.

Although I agree that the rigging setup can put an excessive amount of force on the hitch, and you might bend or break something that way.

 

I mean your truck is rated for 7k lbs right?

 

I dont want to make assumptions but my trailers usually have wheels

 

As stated I believe roll offs only have 2 rollers. And why take the chance when it’s not really up to op?
Call them and have it moved or just picked up F them. Find another company to use.
I’d like to see a video but would I try NO.
It’s my daily and being broken is a PIA!
Maybe I’m being baited with a Friday thread but I’m hooked now so screw it.

 

What is this Johnny Knoxville down under?

 

should be 30 or 40 yard can since it has a door
Skids run the whole length, but the wheels are below it. Maybe locally dependent but I’ve never seen one without 4 wheels

 

Some roll offs have 2 wheels. Others have 4

 

In the 3rd Gen section you could tow it but a 2022 in the 4th gen section? Nah, not gonna happen. go buy a 4th gen then try it.

 

@trd_shrek

So? Did you get it moved?

 

and where’s the video?
