Possibly, I’m no expert on wagons. More interested in the yellow lump on the back.

He runs it on STGO most of the time, has continuity of work and is making it pay. Plus he’s a very nice chap. Like me.

Molsons one looked the part and sounded gorgeous but apparently it was outed as it couldn't legally run on general haulage in quiet times as it was too long

some run a trombone trailer that when closed is shorter than a standard arctic. But obviously puts you weight up.
I do remember years ago being on site and they decided to stretch the trombone and fit an entire tarmac gang on one lorry. At a rough guess 18t for the paver 6t for the 2cx 9t and 3t for the rollers.

Rooky mistake, everyone knows you need a twin rear wheel transit to run at 10t.
Although he probably would have been alright if he had a beefy flap fitted.
On a serious note that is pretty dire of the transit to have a 1.5t towing capacity

The majority of Transits have a dreadful train weight. But in reality not many caravans weigh more than 1.5 tonnes so they are generally fit for purpose.

I was working in the Philippines for the last three weeks. Saw no end of machines on trucks with someone in the machine cab. None of the machines were tied down. I came to the conclusion that the operator in the cab just straightened the machine up as it slid about on the truck bed.Very dangerous having someone sitting on the machine while being moved
I asked my driver how often people and goods fall of trucks and his answer was never, why would they do that it would hurt / damage stuff?
The culture is injuring yourself or damaging something is considered as being careless which is your personal loss and it’s not the government’s or a manufacturer’s problem if you can’t be bothered to look after yourself.
Here for example is a sprayer (power washer?) in a shop with no belt guard. Your fingers are your responsibility

Hope to go there early next year.I was working in the Philippines for the last three weeks. Saw no end of machines on trucks with someone in the machine cab. None of the machines were tied down.

How did you find it there?

It very much depends on what area you are going to and who you know.
If you want to go and sit inside a 5* hotel complex no bother what so ever. If you want to go out at night you need to be careful. I had a local guy who is quite ‘influential’ and was taken to a couple of places you certainly wouldn’t go on your own. I’ve done a few jobs in the Philippines. This last time I was in.Cebu which is an hours flight south of Manila. Cebu is quite a developed area but it still has lots of stray dogs and poverty stricken people.
If you like things mechanical it’s got some great sights. There are loads of small machine shops literally at the side of the road. We had to go down town to get some hose fittings. Next door to the Hydraulic shop was a car parts shop. Don’t think Halfords with parts in plastic, think engines lines up on the pavement and a pile of steering racks about the size of a 1.5 te mini digger.
This was the hydraulic shop.
Kidnapping of westerners is not unheard of in many areas.
What area are you thinking about? I’m in regular contact with people out there so can ask for an honest local opinion if you would like one.

A close German friend is marrying a local lass a couple of hours from Manilla I think. He's just bought a plot of land a few weeks ago so said I'll go out and stay for a few weeks. He's been there off and on for years loves it there
