Leyland600:
I saw this trailer recently on Hatston Pier, Kirkwall, Orkney loaded with anchor cable possibly from an oilrig accomodation platform that has been undergoing maintainance etc in Scapa Flow. The trailer will be shipped south on a Northlink ferry to Aberdeen. I hope a loop of chain does not slip out from under the ■■■■■■■■ the off side and drop on someone’s toe !! Looping the strap through a link on each side would be a more secure way to prevent any slippage.
I’m pretty sure I would refuse to tow that trailer in its current state. Once that single link drops, then another closely follows and before you know it all the straps are loose and the whole kit and caboodle rushes off like a slinky going downstairs.
