    Have a look at the weighting for the axles, you might be within your MAM for the vehicle but with the double cab configuration its real easy to go over weight on the back axle. Enforcement will weigh each axle.
  6. treequip
    I would weigh the axles independently, then load it and see how badly over you are on the back axle.
  7. treequip
    Have you weighed each axle?

    I did a job for Cronospans engineering manager recently. They have to user their own generators for the big plant or it makes the street lights dim and kettles in the village wont boil:laugh1: Even then the energy bill is the size of a small country

    What law makes it illegal?

    This citizens arrest is going a bit off topic, the question was, when is it ok to lay hands on and the simple answer for tree work is.............. Only to prevent immediate danger to the person or others. If you do lay hands on, you need to be able to justify that action and if your system of work makes it inevitable or even likely you need to alter that. If you cant justify your actions you are wide open to a charge of assault, I don't think "he didn't listen and walked past me" is going to do the job for you.

    Or you can buy whips in, cheap as chips. I don't think you could go out and harvest free ones for less and whips managed in a nursery will have a much lower failure rate. Here is an example Sycamore - Acer pseudoplatanus Chew Valley Trees

    You said hand plane I said surface planer. The thicknesser for 750mm would have Wadkin somewhere in one of its castings My question to you is, why would you want a slab like that? Ok the occasional bar top but its a specialised bit of kit with limited use to the average UK arb. Have you seen the finish you can get from a bandsaw or a chainsaw mill? Not that shabby if its set well
  15. treequip
    Well here's the thing, this machine isn't the only way to get a board true, its been going on for decades, you can use a surface planer or a thicknesser Can you even buy one of those on this side of the globe?

    I have seen cages that are decades old and no sign of corrosion other than a little surface oxidation on the zinc.

    I hope you had the key in your pocket:thumbup1:

    Please,,,,,,,,,,,Not even vaguely similar though is it?? How can you offer that as an example? Its an entirely different situation. In tree work its a situation you set up, you cause the situation to be thus and have a duty of care both general and under the HSAW act to manage it properly. That means not creating a situation where you have to lay hands on someone to keep your work running. The situation on the boat was an arsonist, (allegedly) a criminal act. There are all sorts of powers a ships captain (and his agents) has, including restraining someone endangering the vessel. On dry land you would have the right to restrain someone in the same circumstances.

    That's only one of the dimensions needed. What's the distance from the hinge to the point the bottom of the ram attaches? Moving the ram wont have any affect on the pressure, that's governed by the pump output.

    It matters not what categories you currently hold, there is no category for 2 trailers unless you are a showman or, under certain circumstances a farmer.

    When you say "legal work signs" do you mean they conform to the standard required by legislation or do you mean something else?

    Did you read my earlier post? Mary Bell is a traffic commissioner, she is in charge of VEHICLE operations in her area and she is entirely the wrong person to ask. A traffic officer is nearer the mark but since this is a DRIVING LICENCE issue the DVLA would be the appropriate authority. If you want to do it just get on with it, I know others that do it but they know they are breaking the law. Ask yourself this, if it were legal, why don't you see people doing it on a daily basis?
  25. treequip
    The above is correct as a general principal if completely out of context. In this case the person pushed past and continued on their way, if it was an on going assault you could defend yourself but since the assault is over tit for tat is not defendable in law. You have also missed the context that the "assaulted" created the situation by poor management.
