I think another thing that should be put on them boxes or wherever appropriate is the eircode number!!!
Map (GPS) coordinates must be the only alternative in such cases. Or https://what3words.com/about/ but not sure how well it is being taken up by the emergency services yet.@bk1991 What would you recommend given what you see In the day job?
I like eircode idea but what about remote yards where there may be none as there are no dwelling house attached for example.
bit of rubber for the tip to stop it scratching:eek3:Rather than roll around wheels and hoisting them around onto hubs using crowbars I made up a wheel hook that can safely lift off wheels using the overhead gantry or a loader.
An hour with some scrap and the welder produced this.

I've a bit of cosy tube waiting for after the paint job. :Thumbp2:bit of rubber for the tip to stop it scratching:eek3:
Three pieces Nash, box iron, V clamp bolt on top and solid square shaft on end of round bar...And only one piece out of a MF30 used :Whistle2:
I'd be afraid using a loader with that, knowing my luck I'd put it through the window :rolleyes2:

I did not think the landing gear would stick that!Beans are heavy and I should have put a few scoops in the rear of the trailer first. It went up very slowly and with the Hiab it went down very slowly . Anybody says anything mean and I will get Barrack O Bama,s cousin to call in a drone strike on them.

I was kinda surprised myself that the bolts did not shear or the legs bend . He said he got a call into an industrial unit where lads were unloading a container and there was six tonnes of welding rods at the front and the same thing happened.I did not think the landing gear would stick that!
You probably cannot hear the drone.Tut tut rookie mistake :eek3:
JB's trailer & DM with the Hiab?
JB came in eating an apple from the orchard that his Uncle planted with my mother in 1947 . No point panicking.
I've heard of it happening when trailers are dropped on loading bays and the forklift goes in for the last few pallets.I was kinda surprised myself that the bolts did not shear or the legs bend . He said he got a call into an industrial unit where lads were unloading a container and there was six tonnes of welding rods at the front and the same thing happened.
The fire brigade could lift it with air bags .
Beans are awfully heavy.
Two attics left our yard once upon a time, the haulier hadn’t drawn beans before. I warned him they were heavy.
One of the trucks stalled when leaving the yard.
One truck grossed 60.5tn and the other was 59.5tn......
When we were drawing beet in 40ft's at the end of the campaign you would have occasional split loads and might have to drop the trailer with 10 ton in the front but it would stand, got caught out one evening with a trailer the landing gear was further back, felt a bit sticky pulling out from under it in the dark and heard a gentle thud as it nosedived, a few ton in the back and it levelled out.:sweat:I was kinda surprised myself that the bolts did not shear or the legs bend .
