I thought…The Dcpc stopped this kind of thing.
The DCPC doesn’t cater for employed drivers when the guvnor ‘orders’ ‘take it’, it will be fine.
As opposed to the CPC and O licence of the operator or an owner driver.
Owner driver’s…
Never make any mistakes, hit bridges or ■■■■ things up?

The point was that employers would think twice if such incidents only hit the CPC holder and O licence holder not the driver.
Probably also explains why owner drivers wouldn’t be put in the situation of take it or else for that reason.
Assuming it’s an employed driver the boss knew what the load was ? and I’d have refused to drive it probably followed by all the usually expected repercussions.
But the government imposing a 16’ height limit would obviously help drivers in that regard.
Not much point in ordering height indicators in the cab if vehicle/load heights, above the height of unmarked bridges, are allowed on the road.
I’d say the highest point is 10’6 ish, on the skelly 15’6 plus flat rack 17’ + [emoji54][emoji54] and that’s if they have loaded the equipment directly onto the rack and not on bearers [emoji849][emoji849]

A standard 20box on typical UK skelly....136" ?
hapag-lloyd.com/en/services … -cube.html
Looks like the bed of a 40flatrack is about 2, so can we say its about 156"?
.
Lots of guesses and assumptions there.
.I reckon a high cube
Hi Cube containers have to have yellow / black markings on top.
Pics seem to be shown from the rear so looks like it wasn’t the container that hit, but the cable drum.
Trying to squeeze two jobs into one…?
Did containers for years, always looked for top markings no matter what office or paperwork said.

Definite bridge strike. But how tall was it?0
Taller than 16’6
Should have gone on a low loader
No excuses
Carryfast you utter tripe you spout beggars belief please zip it
At least he had a frilly pelmet to protect his empty head as he lurched forward towards the windscreen

Saves me the bother of typing it, thanks mate.

Frilly pelmet and…
Cool looking shiny mirror protectors. Handy for when you roll the lorry, it save the mirrors getting scratched.
From Cosmics pic the back box is "PSSU" prefix, and 4 digit code starts "12..." So it is owned by Pentalver Southampton, and is 10 long and 8`6" high.
The cable(?) drum in front looks to be the same colour. That has no container lock castings top nor bottom.
The flatrack is TCLU, so is TAL International, a USA company who lease out containers, but have no input on day to day use of them.

I see that one of Gregory’s hit a bridge on the A37, not a pretty sight .

That’s exactly what I said and I actually said it before you did.
So why would anyone want to take a load that is impossible to reference against unmarked bridge heights.
Tripe indeed.

They have these things called tape measures nowadays but then again that could be misconstrued as manual labour so you wouldn’t be able to measure your load CF

So you’re going to stop at every unmarked bridge and check that ( the bridge ) is high enough for your 17 foot high truck … using your tape measure.
Don’t give up the day job which hopefully isn’t driving 17 foot high trucks.
Or here’s a thought - stand back look at the outfit and see just how far the cable carrier stuck up above the cab next to it, just sayin’.

Franglais yes pentalver probably owned this container but we sale hundreds of theses every year.that flatrack was a import probably going to Portland for devan cable laying equipment deep sea

Absolutely.
Im sure loads of them are rented/leased/sold, and the actual original supplier, wouldnt have any day to day interest in most of them.
.
Is that a hose, cable, or maybe optic-fibre type drum there would you know?
I did note the colour of it, and refrained from putting two and two to make five.
Are they in standard sizes I wonder?

If a load that needs to go on a low loader ends up on a standard height skele who’s fault is that assuming it’s not an owner driver hauling it.

A 16’’ 6’ + load height is going to be reasonably obvious even without the tape measure.
That just leaves telling the guvnor it’s going nowhere or the law to tell the guvnor the same thing.
As opposed to both saying it’ll be fine but if it hits an unmarked bridge it’s the driver’s fault.

It looks like umbilical cable for deep sea rover
