Bloody ridiculous overhang on that last picture! Iâd much sooner have the trailer wheels where theyâre supposed to be.

Yes, youâd have to be very careful turning left from the inside lane at the lights, wouldnât you?

Tail swing or cut in canât have it both ways
Those SPT Leylands supplied Templeborough steel mill with limestone from Buxton, they didnât tip as they had an inverted âVâ inside the body and the load discharged through the side doors. They were hoisted âairborneâ at the mill on a ramp similar to the sugar beet factories.

Cut in for me, every time, at least you can see it and act with precision.

Position of rear bogie affects weight distribution too, of course.

Yes but at the case in point, furniture, hardly a factor.

Furniture? Probably correct.
I do remember (I think) Milt (?) Warren doing some furniture work. Saw one of his (maroon with yellow stripe) Sed-Atks with a 40ft box trailer, with a single axle, right on the back. I`ll bet that cut in like a !!!

That shot of Pollocks Atki looks like itâs leaving the Hartlepool Headland Steetley plant?
British Steel also had a facility through that arch, it was a bit of a nightmare getting through at times. I was a regular there in the seventies, any lapse in concentration and a mirror was wrecked. In later years we had to use another entrance as more modern motors with bigger cabs and mirrors couldnât get through. Regards Kev.

Same here Spardo. If deliveries in small places etc are needed, then a shorter trailer should be used like the ones Tesco uses.

Depends, flat packed or assembled. The former can quite easily see max weights.
