I wondered where my brother left his sandwich box..
-
Sod being on the back of that when it went up!!!
-
very good - howd you get the load off it ?
-
You pump truck the load to the back doors then lift a flt up with a flt of course, then it will reach. :-.
-
ahhhh stoopid me :oops:
-
How many illegal immigrants does it take to....
-
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?
-
That is some going. Bet it came back down with a big bump when the load was taken out. What was in there?
-
Nice trick photo :clap: :grin:

Perhaps it can be called "The Biggest Hi lift Jack around"

it doesn't take alot to get one to go up, i seen them go up with as little as 4 ton on, in my last job we had one go the other way (front up) the driver had the load on the back end.

that is how our mondeo looks when the wife gets in :lol: :lol:
Hope your wife doesn't read this forum ;) :D

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:

I am too.it doesn't take alot to get one to go up, i seen them go up with as little as 4 ton on, in my last job we had one go the other way (front up) the driver had the load on the back end.
Slightly concerned as I am going to be doing my class 1 test in November!!
-
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
-
How much money are you willing to gamble on that then? I'll match it!
-
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!
-
For sale "Special invisible high lift jack, as shown in photo"
-
Ok- I hold my hands up, it didn't really tip over like that, that's how it landed when it fell out of the sky!!!!!! :roll:
-
Sorry I just do not believe it [-X
-
was the forktruck still in the front with the load?
-
No, it was loaded from a bay and then shunted to a trailer park.
-
You can bloody well believe it is possible. A Cartwright curtain sider is actually closer to 6 tonnes, and the jacking points are roughly 3/5 from the back. (3/5 behind the jacks, 2/5 in front). Normally, it shouldn't be a problem, but when some muppet double (or in some cases triple) stacks heavy pallets against the headboard, well, the results are quite obvious.
As for the amount of weight on the fifth wheel, it can be as much as 18 to 19 tonnes on a 6-wheeler unit.
-
should be about 4m-ish from the nose of the trailer to the legs.

Amuses me that not long ago people would have seen a photo and assumed it was true. Now the assumption is that somebody's gone to all the time and hassle to seamlessly photoshop it, just to prove some pointless thing. See also the Strata Florida thread. I'm more inclined to believe that somebody's overloaded a trailer, and 2 guys have rolled their trucks, than to pursue some unnecessary conspiracy theory that people have nothing better to do than endlessly photoshop everyday photos to post them on Internet forums. You only have to look at Photoshop Disasters to find out how easy it is for professionals to botch photoshop edits, let alone guys on 4x4 forums.
