Death of driver struck by his own HGV

Thanks for the invite Malc :wink:

I’ve been using palm couplings exclusively for the past 3yrs (nearly) never had one come off, still on my original seals and never had any leaks, a simple flick of the wrist is all you need to connect/disconnect them. When they’re connected there is no free play at all so you don’t get any wear over time like you do with C couplings.

Kevmac mentions them coming off when making turns, in the instance he mentions, that is due to the horizontal plane in which the coupling now sits, well that is obviously going to happen, they should be fitted so that the connecting faces are in the vertical plane, then they will never come off, you can’t blame the coupling for that, it’s the fault of the idiot fitting them :unamused:
