That’s not good, the exporters and importers never declare a load is top heavy or not, you only find out on the first roundabout out the gate.
Had that with a forty footer of bagged peat moss. Picked up the box expecting it to be light,but no. Went and weighed it, just legal left Brisbane for Townsville with three drops on the way. First drop it’s all light, but bulky. On the second drop discovered that the top layer was saturated, to the point that they were wedged. Pulled out only dry bags. Two hundred kilometres uo the road the top layer had not moved, despite nothing underneath them. It was a battle to get the wet bags down.

I liked the old one ‘Boss I have a problem, the mirror is broken’, ‘Don’t worry about that, take a bit of extra care and bring it back here, we’ll soon fix it’.
‘No can do Boss. the lorry is lying on it’.

It would have been old when Spardo first heard it, a golden oldie.

Really interesting that @star_down_under , I note that no info on the cause has been released. When I saw the original placement of the 2 part ‘helper’ bridge I thought the extreme upward bow in it would be too much for the multi axle trailer and that perhaps it was meant to bend downwards to take the load safely.
If that is the case it is not the ‘collapsing’ half that was at fault but the other one which did not level downwards together with its mate.
Without watching again I am not sure if the replacement trailer was backed onto the bridge to save the crane from having to swing round, if so, how did they protect the bridge the 2nd time?
Busy now I’ll come back to it later.
I wouldn’t want to be the ginger beer who did those sums.
