Crane with the loose leg

They are quite keen on double leg locks on mot .

Are they?
The motor I drive has been through 10 MOT’s and has no leg locks whatsoever. Only hydraulic pipes, rams and fluid keep all four stabiliser legs ‘in’.
Same for the other 30 odd crane trucks the of same spec around the UK.

Next time you go for test put your money where your mouth is and ask to see the mot testers guide ,the bit about leg securing devices .

Thinking about it further, Ive also been pulled by DVSA twice over the last 5 years, they never mentioned it either.
Next plating due in July and I bet it passes again.
