Seen this guy loading up his wagon last week, surely hes cutting that a bit fine is he not?

They do that all the time over here it looks dodgy all right but if it's under weight and height restrictions then it's legal

Seen it done on big jobs. They keep the chain-eyes in the skip hooks then lower the lifting rams to hold it down, looks dodgy the first time you see it, by the end of the job your asking them to take skips 3 at a time :laugh: :laugh:

Ha ha is that for real Giles? And there intended us is incase someone falls off the flatbed while chaining on the goods? Worlds gone mad, never seen them before.

If i had a wagon i wouldnt get them, id just tell the driver not to fall off - cos it may hurt

Trucks loaded like that are par for the course in India. the fisrt time I went to Delhi I saw a low loader snapped in half right in the middle

I think in places like India etc the only rules for loading wagons/motors in general is "if it fits, fire it on" lol
