Brakes would only stop it going forward & backwards,what about it coming through the side, as its only a curtain sider.
How about sorry officer my load came through the curtain & landed on that car , but at least the brakes where on.
If i where to drive a low loader arround with any plant on & no chains, how long do you think the load would stay on.â– â– .
I can see he used straps.

How was the JCB secured to the trailer, chains or straps â– â– .
The JCB was secured with 4 x 5 tonne straps, we are not allowed to chain them as we may scratch the paintwork and loading gravel doesnt.
I believe you were questioning whether I bothered to fasten them on. Well I do, and if you read any of my posts on this emotive subject you will find that I do not condone using pvc as a load restraint
In this case the personal access cage had 2 straps over it while the JCB Loadall was strapped over the tyres using a type of barrelhitch. In this depot at 8am there were already 5 trucks waiting for one ramp so I had opened both curtains and removed the straps before getting onto the access ramp

It does happen but in that particular case I was at the JCB headquarters in Paris and they were setting up an open weekend for customers. The small loader on the back was a replacement because of shoddy paintwork.
