Why was it not loaded over the axles

Why was it not loaded over the axles

Sometimes lorries are a bit light on the drive axles if the weight is all on trailer axles, this time of year it's common to load the trailer a bit forward. Needs a stronger trailer

Yes think I would of had one lump over the drive axle and the rest over the trailer wheels

been out with a crane to a few of them in me time .... and when you look at the trailer, as you pick it onto a.n.other one, to cart it away, would very often wonder how did it get plated/get as far as it had

Yeah my thoughts..how did it get all way to A50 you'd think back roads or speed bump etc would have killed it? Stress and braking I guess?

I thought it would be over loaded on the axles with it being there

I remember having weight left right at the back of the trailer, it lost traction on the unit. Caused by canter lever affect i presume, on a twin steer unit.

Templetown beach county Louth, pulled from FB. By the look of it the salt water couldn't do it much more harm

poor ol' Jakie ...... I'd have flipped the back window up and opened the doors ....... they might've stood a chance of still being there when the tide went out ..... assuming jakie still is of course ... looks a tad rough that

Im guessing it was left there on purpose
