Still had a couple of inches of clearance on the bump stops Would like to have weighed it tbh, I’m not sure if it’s actually possible to overload it unless you add greedy boards

I seem to have new bump stops every yearly service so it’s possible lol although have had 5 ton on mine lol (non highway farm tracks)

Have you ever dealt with round windows being a fire escape Dave. We've got a few we're trying to sort

No, we always just put fire doors on the habitable rooms and make the hallway an escape route..

Ah the racking is a sight to behold. I have dabbled with using filing cabinets for storage but always fell out with the concept. Looks like you have got it sussed.

I couldn't do without them. And of course, the Brother QL-810Wc label printer!

We have Brother TZ Printers in all the vans.. and a label printer in the stores. Will have to take a photo of my Dexion racking that came out of GCHQ.

I thought about those type of cabinets but eventually decided on just spreading s**t out on a bench

Don't get me wrong, I do that too! When the bench is full, I just push it off to make room to put more down because I'm in a rush. When I can't walk over the floor without breaking an ankle- then it's time to put it all back in a cabinet!
