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

have you never seen them, a lot of the big nationals have them especially on things like this concrete etc where a banks man has to crawl about without sides.

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:

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
