Don't really want to be going this high when tipping steel because the rear of the trailer is almost touching the ground and any loose steel going under that edge could upset the tipping, if the steel hadn't slid off at this height there would be a major problem and no experienced operator would have raised the trailer beyond about 60% of this height. In this picture the door is closed and we'll need to check the ground clearance when it's open for tipping.
The trailer was certified today and has done its first few ks. In the yard tonight with a load on which I'll probably tip in the morning. A couple of years of thinking about it and the above trailer is the last Burrel Bin that Noel Williams will make before he retires at xmas. What a great part of the transport industry he has been, from the back-blocks down the King country and growing up in a logging community with the special talent for welding and making perplex engineering situations simple.
Cheers Noel.
