Local pikey made the local papers last month, met him afterwards, he couldn’t understand the problem “sure that chain has held a lot worse boss”

Mega skills for loading it in the first place - how did it not all fall off before he got the chain on?!

I haven’t been to Ireland for a while but I would think it normal, certainly seen a lot worse.

Got some timbers delivered today on an artic despite saying no artic access. No telehandler or tractor trailer at home so the little Schaffer had to do 400m trips with 1300kg and half of 2000kg+ 

steuggled lifting over gateways but otherwise well impressed

Transit yes looking at the reverse curve on the springs. Trailer depends on its specs. Overall who knows

1.5 tonnes per pack. I am guessing all overloaded looking at the trailer tires!

Block pavers ?

All in all it weighed in just less than 9 ton pulled perfect up 17% in clines and brakes worked well on 20% slopes cost me £40 in diesel the company were asking 300+vat to deliver the blocks only cost £30 per pack and the trailer is 2700 but it pulled well the tyres are old but still hold air well

Very silly. Could have been done in two trips without risking your driving licence. You're not only risking your licence, but also the safety of other road users with that kind of overloading.
