i would not want to be the one who signed those PMI sheets
At least he knows his cab locks are working

Seen this happen before ,normally happens with underfloor tipper trailers when an inexperienced driver overloads then try’s to tip some off .
Know a few farmers who’d try putting that back together with a bit of baler twine.
Think of the tyre saving though…
Proof that artic tippers are an unpredictable force x distance time bomb. Varying from self destruct to falling over or a combination of both.If you want more than an 8 wheeler load then go for a drawbar outfit. 
I know a good welder 
I think, people need to worry about there own truck rather than sat on the A34 watching a van cut in at the last moment.
Cab looks a mess: hope the driver didn’t get bashed about too bad.
.
One for the H&S moaners: this is why we must wear crash hats even when our cabs!

Moving at the time? and how was that ever going to clear the overhead?

No, I think he was tipping where he was, and either part of the load got stuck up the headboard end, or the chassis was already weakened.
I guess that if part of the load was stuck, he may have tried the ‘move a little, slam on the brakes’ method. It used to work when trying to close a tail lift… 
Looks like a folding tipper that pulls the unit back looking at the pic.May have moved came to a stop but the weight brung it forward and down it came.
I’m thinking maybe a non UK truck ■■■ those are theee only ones I usually see with very long fuel tanks? Would perhaps explain a lack of maintenance?
One thing thats baffling me, and this probably screams relative newbie, is why its only got one back axle. Surely a tipper would be very close to 44T and this need twins?
One thing that will come from this is tipper drivers now have to sit on a tiny hut while waiting for the load to be tipped with this pic on the wall telling them its for their safety.

Difficult to be sure as the image is a bit fuzzy when zoomed in, but there doesn’t appear to be a kerb mirror visible on the cab, so probably LHD and as a result likely not in UK.
I could well be wrong in my guess here, but aren’t permissible axle weights slightly different in Euro land…?

In France, for National work I believe its 44t on 5 axles, 45t on 6 axles. (except round timber which is 57t on 6 axles, but very specific regs apply for that)
For EU international work it`s 40t gross. I know some companies running UK to Fr run at 44t, but…
Holland national rules are higher still I believe? 50t?

I reckon you’re dead right, Colin. That explains the odd wheel configuration. I saw that a lot in Sweden.
