Just limbo underneath it! Guess that the driver thinks that venting is something that you do on social media!

For any of you chaps or chapesses who’ve never touched tanker work there are IMO only two possible causes of this; the driver has either discharged the load by pump or gravity with his/her lids shut, or the vent line closed, or more likely given the absence of product labels then he/she has had the tank washed out using a hot wash and has immediately zipped it up (closed the lids and outlet valves) whilst the tank is still red hot and as it’s cooled it has created a vacuum. My money would be on the latter.
I’m with you Moaster, can’t see it folding up like that, gravity discharging.

Yeah I agree mate. I was gravity discharging beside another fella who was doing the same once and he had his lids closed and we could hear the tank “taking great big gulps of air”, no harm done as we both immediately recognised the problem.
At face value it looks like the tank itself is being used as a stressed trailer chassis component and has failed.Or there is a chassis rail assembly between the pin and the axles which has failed.Dont think a collapsed tank alone should cause that amount of carnage to the trailer’s structure.
There wouldn’t be enough pressure form a gravity discharge to cause that. Most likely after a washout. Although it could also have been caused if they were tipping using a decent pump and hadn’t opened up any vent valves, seen the aftermath of that happening before and looked very similar

This is why stobrats should stick to badly pulling curtain siders about and leave the other sectors of the industry alone

You mean culina , as for culina leaving it to the rest of you , come to Grantham , there’s not a day when there’s not a pile up involving a lorry on the a1 , lorry’s knocking people over on the high street , lorries causing havoc by running over the metal path protectors & bursting all there tyres on the bridge by Asda , never mind all the lorries of all these firms that apparently can do the job perfectly well hitting bridge after bridge
To even suggest all these other firms are perfect is at best laughable , more likely the views of a blinkered idiot

I’d agree that the post shows a cleaned tank that’s been sealed too quickly, not least of all because the there’s no DG markings in the hazard warning panel area

It sounds like utter carnage in Grantham, maybe you should think about retiring

This would be cheaper to achieve in terms of “Kit” - if they re-used some of the already-damaged units…
“No further harm done” when you smash one up against the next bridge that way…
