Whe I worked for STS we did a lot of steel plate fom Creusot-Loire.Very often I had a plate to drop off in their yard.What a performance.They only had a small forklift and the sheets were up to two tonnes.We used to have about five or six of us hanging off the back of the forklift to try and counterbalance.Talk about health and safety.Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:
