our dumps have a plastic liner impregnated with teflon and side roll tarps that keep the load dry. only time we have a problem is when the lime freezes in the bed. in that case,we go to the shop and park inside until it warms up and then the yard guys shovel it out. since they get paid by the hour, it only happened to me once all last winter so I wouldnt worry a lot about it. another thing you can do sometimes depending on the customer is get the loader operator to load some rocks on and then dump them out, that will usually get most of it out.Originally Posted by Mr. Ford95
Some end dumps that haul lime have a vibratory switch you hit. Hit it and the whole dump will vibrate and send any sticky lime on out the back. Don't let that lime get wet, it gets real hot.........and don't inhale any of the dust from it, it will tear you up with coughing and hacking.
