Toddy2:
0I do trunking with D Deckers for a parcel company, and often have a collection or 2 to do before the trunk,
These are the lifting deck type (Cartwright/Don Bur/Gray & Adams)
they have a fabric ■■■■■■■■ each deck, and pull out steps underneath, next to the number plate
Many of these are busted/wedged in, so don’t tend to use them,
I usually manage by lowering the suspension & pulling myself up with the strap
It is getting harder as i get older.
Obviously easier to get on the bottom deck, when the top deck is raised,
When the deck is down, I step onto bottom deck, whilst holding the strap, then onto the top deck
As said before, if there are no steps available, and it is too much of a climb, don’t take it
Years ago, we would have climbed up the forklift mast and it was fine, things have tightened up though!
