Who remembers the days of climbing on the FLT forks to get a ‘lift up’ onto the load/whatever? Try asking them that now and they look at you like you’ve just called their mother a slag.
Once wrenched my shoulder quite badly, somewhere near Glasgow, trying to pull a tilt roof back accross whilst standing on the forks at a height where my arms were level with the trailer roof.
Had opened up the leeward side to tip that side then the wind suddenly turned right around, picked the whole tilt up & moved it accross a foot or 2. Heck of a job I had with it, whilst next drivers in the queue looked on.
