Guess the offence

[Nearly]

Chains rather than straps on handler too.

 

[glasshouse]

Thehandler at the front may betoo heavy forthe spreader hitch

 

[Lofty1984]

So that means taking the van off at each job?

For the sake of 10 mins yes

 

[Dave W]

What crap, the load looks fine and legal
Meanwhile, three miles away two Quadbike's and 1000 litres of deisel are getting nicked

No. The load doesn't look remotely professional. You wouldn't see professional haulier running around like that

 

[40 series]

There are ramps, that spare wheel and other bits and bobs not strapped down. Maybe that is it. When you see some of the loads of machinery coming to ni roi you wonder how did they get so far down the road

 

[spin cycle]

Regardless of anything else, the handler should have been on the front.
The drawbar will be floating about like a demented butterfly.

that was my first thought ....although given the pressures of the job....the fact he probably wasn't gonna go to far.....in the moment he cut a corner......who doesn't?....i still feel sorry for him

Bollox
The heaviest part of handler is in the rear weight
It cant move with the bucket like that

The ramps cant move, neither can the spare wheel

Close the thread your expert opinion is all that’s needed

So is any1 gonna enlighten us to what offense he caused instead of speculation

The ramps under the shovel can slide about. Doesn't mean they will. Should be a strap over them. I always reckon that if it looks well secured there should be less chance of getting stopped. But maybe not

Sadly it's just the mentality of some. Instead of educating themselves on the right way to do a job. They'd rather be ignorant and give the rest a bad name

The guy has done nothing wrong, the load is safe.

Safe and legal aren't the same thing

Unfortunately Norfolk and Suffolk police and tilly pass on Facebook et all,where these things get regularly shared, generally say, "load stopped, driver/operater charged" but then never put what actual offense has been committed and leave it up to the "spectators" so to speak, to hypothesis what they have been charged with.

Would be better to not leave a vacuum of uncertainty and say what was wrong. Everyone would learn from it rather than be in the dark. (There are some that are pretty obvious what's wrong, of course. But they could still say what the offenses committed are....)

 

[ffukedfarmer]

Whatever the rights or wrongs of this load I find the crowing about this and similar on social media distasteful particularly when there is so little interest and resource for rural crime.

 

[Green&Steam]

Can he legally tow a loaded trailer behind an empty trailer namely the Spreader?

 

[Bald n Grumpy]

Not speculating on what's wrong but just like on here its interpretation of the rules.
Know a chap got pulled in his van when delivering eggs, police had him on one tyre and made him put spare on. Couple of miles down the road he came across more police so stopped and asked if his now spare wheel was legal. The reply was yes good few miles of tread left. Their explanation was the first officer must have been having a bad day
