How the f**k so you drive out of a tip site with your trailer raised and not notice????
looks like an 8 legger Ruben ..... and you'd not need the body that far up to catch it ... the bridge'll do the rest ... ali body so tip mounts easily torn off and yon bridge'd soon pluck the tip rams out of the gear.
Agree though .... who in their right mind drives off with the body not FULLY down .... mirror right, left, right again before moving off would've shown the body aloft ....... if he'd been looking :rolleyes: :unsure:

Got an ali body on my little tipper. God it takes an age to go down. Was in a rush the other day so drove to merchants with finger on the down button. Reckon it took half a mile before it was down. No bridges though!

I'd of thought that in this day and age there would be a buzzer in the cab if the body isn't down full🤔

Can't have that on insulated bodies otherwise they can't dispense into the paver
Grab lorrys have an interlink between the handbrake and PTO and that is bad enough as it makes it very difficult to run material out thin it's doable but more difficult than on a standard tipper where the PTO stays engaged with the handbrake off
On the Volvo's the body tip alarm is on the digital dashboard and pressing escape makes it disappear if you want to see tacho information time fuel and so on don't know what the newer scanias are like
But on a lot of trucks it's just and led on the dashboard same for the grab crane it's a bit pathetic really
I heard about someone just before Christmas tipping up and driving off with the grab in air and hitting power cables pulling down a transformer and knocking out power to over 1000 rural homes

Saying all this there is nothing to say that there wasn't more to it and something was knocked in transit raising the body
