What the heck is going on here?

Double loaded boxes?

Yes it doesn’t look all that safe, does it! I would imagine they’re empties being moved onsite rather than on the road. Nonetheless, that looks suspiciously like a Euro number-plate on the following lorry. Where is it?

It looks like a German plate on the skeletal trailer in the photo, in another video the machine in the dock that put it on was travelling at the same speed of the lorry.

In that case, it could well be an automated system operating on a container terminal in somewhere like Hamburg.

Looks like two containers were inadvertently loaded, if the driver has to drive to a designated area before allowed to alight, he wouldn’t see the top one. Some sort of marshal is trying attract the driver’s attention.

A good driver wouldn’t need a second opinion! :rofl: Even with empties, you’d instantly detect the difference in handling 'cos the trailer would roll as soon as you steered slightly.

The machine I was trying to describe is a stacker, I think?
The one that loads the containers on the skeletal’s.

Carrryfast will be along soon to tell us we are all wrong despite never done containers.

Where is our hero ? he hasn’t had much to say for a few days now, I hope all is well and he hasn’t fallen foul of any authorities, (or even worse, the Matron at The Home). If he’s still taking his medication I’m sure he’s OK.
I like him, good, harmless, free, entertainment. :laughing:

Could he be reversing him though, ‘keep straight at that Drive’ ?

They could have come off a train, trains take doubles in the USA, not sure about anywhere else though, doubt it is Europe.

Plate looks like Europe.

Yeah Grumpy, he is a good laugh. I do enjoy watching him dig himself out of a hole, but it keeps getting deeper.
Of particular entertainment value is a bloke who made a brief foray into the industry, never spent a night in a truck, never went past the post office, never got past basic simple tasks, feels he’s the expert qualified to offer advice to experts in their fields, with four times the experience. :rofl:

Yes, I can’t read the plate, your eyes are better than mine. :wink:
But do they double containers on trains anywhere in Europe, Germany perhaps, I have never seen it but maybe?

Ah! Walter Mitty!

Bearing in mind that ( your ) personally ‘respected’ posters have supposedly been justified in throwing their toys out of the pram because I callied AEC’s bus engined junk and Volvo F86-F7 even worse and for me defending those in the truck manufacturing industry that I really did have the privilege to work with.
But I’ve never called them liars or having lied about their experiences
Strange double standards you’re applying Ro and would expect better from you.

I’ll have a pint of whatever you’re drinking CF! Whatever it is, it certainly appears to change reality into something truly weird and wonderful. Where the dickins have I mentioned either AECs or Volvos on this thread, and where? And what’s all this rubbish about truth and lies? And double standards? You really have lost the plot old son! Read back through this thread and find ANYTHING that I’ve said that has any relevance whatsoever to what you’ve just written above.

Or are you just trolling?

You know stuff like your references to posters supposedly leaving because of what I’ve said.Just because I didn’t agree with them on the issue of what really sunk our truck manufacturing industry like compromised AEC engine design.Not the workers who could only make what was on the drawings given to them and who had no option other than to strike to pay their bills
If you really think that the TL12 was ever going to cut it v it’s opposition, or a Volvo F7 was as good as an F12, or a Scandinavian synchro box was as good as a Fuller it’s really not worth me arguing with you or anyone else about it.
But what I’ve never done is call people like gingerfold liars and cheats as you’ve called me.
As I said what’s your bleedin problem with me personally ? in that regard.
Bearing in mind we’ve never even met and you know as much as SDU about my work history, which is absolutely nothing, but I’m not in the habit of lying about it nor need to ?.
Walter Mitty indeed.

Rubbish. Where have I ever called you a liar or a cheat, or even implied it? You are deluded, man. Or raving.

Walter Mitty didn’t lie or cheat. He was deluded and lived in a fantasy world.

Just like carryfast does.
