You pump truck the load to the back doors then lift a flt up with a flt of course, then it will reach.   :-.

Well that's one way of changing a tyre...  :-k

Must take a fair weight to get it to do that though - what was the load? Depleted uranium?

The trailor had about 8 tonnes of liquid sugar on it.  They ended up getting a specialist recovery vehicle in to right it! All of us forklift drivers just wanted to get under it with our trucks, but management wouldn't allow it for health and safty reasons. We'd have had it done in five minutes, but it took most of the evening and a lot of £s! From what I've heard it happens quite often.

With the pivot point quite close to the front, and the weight of the trailer chassis, plus the axles, wheels and tyres behind it, I'm surprised it would do that.

Amongst the normal trailers I bought I also used to buy some shorty 8m single axle fridge trailers and they used to have a tendancy to try to tip up - put a set of steady legs on the front bulkhead which the shunters used to pull down prior to loading.

It makes you think though how much weight is on the rear wheels of the tractor unit when it is being dragged along! :shocked:

That whats happens if you leave a load on the front of a tautliner they are very light the whole trailer will wight about 7.5 ton empty and any wight forward of the legs will make them tip. Had one rip the rear lights off my unit one day as it was front heavy.

I would lay down money to say that it could not happen as the fulcrum point is so close to the front.... nice trick photo though  :clap: :^o

I dont think it is a trick photo because if it is the person who did it has gone to alot of effort to put a fire engine in the back ground too!

Surely it would bend the legs at the front, they are only designed to take weight vertically.

And how can 8 ton tip it up like that when the trailer weighs 7.5 ton most of which has about 10 metres leverage!
