You get Trombone Trailers as above, then you get POLE trailers, and then you get these :stuck_out_tongue:

If the steel sections on this load had been loaded on edge instead of lying flat on their side,there would not have been such a bend in them!

but that aint a trailer is it :wink:

He never said it was a trailer though, he said it was a (one of) “these”. :wink:

Yeah I’ve seen something similar may be the same one, where I live there’s a coach works place and one day I drove passed and seen an odd looking set up for a wagon, the gate was open so I went over and it looked like a Rigid but when it was stretched out it looked like a wagon and drag, the back box was actually smaller than the front one so it would just slide in when empty or not fully loaded, I think the fella who I spoke to in the yard there said it was a one off but was getting sent over to Ireland

Mine is actually red (the plastic one anyway) but my lad strums - about 12 guitars at the last count - couple of Gibsons amongst them!

Unless you went round a corner :stuck_out_tongue: . I do understand what you are saying and would probably want some on the I and some on the H

it would have helped if he had put a bit more over the back to let the load balance itself out a bit, putting the bogie right at the back with those steel sections was asking for it to bend the way it has, 10ft of overhang and that probably wouldnt have looked too bad
