Very cool. I paused the video and the steepest part looks like its 85%- or approx 40 degrees. Also, at one point I thought I read that the center of gravity is through the front pintle hitch. That seems about right based on the picture of the TD. The gasser looks like its even steeper, but that could be the angle of the photography too.

So.. the part when the tip platform is almost all to way "over" and the truck drives off.. Um.. Is that tip platform on hydraulics? If your rear wheels are on lee-side of the platform, wouldn't the platform slam up into the rockers/drivetrain? The platform seems too short for them to be "axel over pivot."

Looks like four huge shock absorbers to control the tipping speed...

Another "angle shot" taken from the Automotive Technik (AT) video.
