...well three wheels actually

Just thought I'd share this photo with you that I took in Darlington last Friday, we shouldnt laugh but everyone was just standing there scratching their heads and it looked so bloody funny

 

OMG

 

What the hell was he lifting It looks like he has done everything right. He's lucky it didn't tip over!

 

looks like a pallet of insulation, or maybe plasterboard, but that's not gonna weigh much.

 

Oh come on guys, it's caption time!

"No, still can't see any oil leak..."

 

"They all do that, Sir..."

 

Nope, cant see any illegal immigrants hiding under there

 

feeding Molly the giant horse was always a nightmare.

 

another hard training day for the McLaren pit crew

 

The extra support feet are at the back - they are in line with the wheels- should they not be at the side if you are lifting the load sideways?

 

Sign inside cab: "Read operators manual before use".
Homer: Doh!

 

LOL! Someone hadn't calculated their moments properly then!

 

I've had a DAF45 on 2 wheels

 

Got the explanation from an RAC data check on the vehicle

Manufacturer Volvo
Model
Body type dropside lorry
Colour
Fuel type Heavy oil
Date manufactured 24 April 2004
Number of previous owners
Last owner change

That explains it then, all the heavy oil was put on one side.

 

Couldnt he just let the grab go and it would drop back on all wheels

 

You mean it was FUEL SURGE ??

 

Where would he stand while doing this?

And it would come down with a big bang

 

I sent this to our plant manager (who pissed himself) and he reckons their only chance (without a crane!) is to keep hold of the load and use the Hiab arm to slowly push the truck back upright.

Go and tell him and report back to us!

 

The load bearing legs were put down without being slid right out towards the direction of the intended load target = big **** up

 

Subaru should have fitted the "cornering arm" to the WR1, just look at the turning angle on that!! No understeer whatsoever.

 

Nothing wrong with that photo, you can clearly see the copper has his shoulder under it and he's checking for excessive tyre ware on the inner tyres........
Feckin idiot never put out the legs...

Cheers

It's a female truck sarge.....

 

That is one good driver. How he can hold that on two wheels is simply amazing, probly been to the Mr. Swift trainning days

I'm surprised some jobsworth traffic warden hasn't been along and ticketed it for parking on a junction
