A good reason to have trailer MOT's like in other european countries

Couldn't agree more, we do actually have the legislation in place but it needs expanding to cover all trailers rather than just HGV

The grab on the botex 360 decided to break while unloading the last load of the day Saturday.

That's a serious break. Must of been showing some signs of weakness before hand? Going to need some big rods for that.

I'm surprised nobody has been on saying that should have been spotted during its annual loler inspection.

It does make you wonder when you think how close the guys are sometimes I am sure Jonny is more than capable of putting that right .

 

 

The jonsered grab on the truck seems a bit beefier around that area, its certainly an area I will pay a bit more attention to when checking these grabs over.

Where do they have trailer MOTs? Out of curiosity, none in France.

Christ on a bike that could have been really nasty. Checked mind today. All OK thankfully!

Likewise i've never seen one go there before. I've welded up fingers and pins before but never the rotor mount.

 

You'd be needing a lot of amps to do that job.

Sick to death of replacing PTO guards so made one out of a bit of twinwall 8" drainage pipe and bolted/chained it to the top link. Plenty of room inside for the shaft and I think I would sooner take my chances falling onto that than the normal one as its nowhere near the spinning shaft . Been on for a few weeks now with no issues including an inspection at an MOD site
