kent transport

I found the attached photo interesting. Nothing to do with the lorry or who it belongs to, its the load on the trailer that caught my eye. A load of empty bushel boxes. I carried thousands and thousands of them when I worked for Mitchell & Robertson and we were working for Frank Idiens, apple processors from Evesham and Wisbech.

However, one thing I never did was sheet the load. Mainly because the boxes were so unstable it was dangerous to walk on top of them. We used corner boards and ropes to secure the load and never had any problems. Once we got Tautliners it got even easier to secure and transport them of course.
