I once backloaded out of there, never again…
Is it notTotally illegal , as its not one continous load 
.Its not even markered right either
Hmmm a couple off ratchet straps and a few pallets to keep them upright, obviously that’ll do.

I would have thought an indivisible load rule would apply too, the only stuff I’ve ever done that’s been 3m wide or overhanging at the back by 3m has been things like narrowboats and silos. You do see cars and caravans sometimes overhanging the rear of transporters so don’t know if there’s some exemption they use otherwise it’d be rich pickings for the police. It’s obviously not the case you can just stretch a trombone to full extension and pile it high with agricultural machinery or every one would do it.
Those ratchets look like they will just ping on the first roundabout.
I often see tube carriages coming into london and they have a humungus overhang sometimes.
Surely chains through the recovery points of the loaded trailers to the Recovery points on the carrying trailer would have been a better idea, I know those straps normally have a breaking strain of 12t ? but still, all too easy to chaff through them if they rub wrong against something.
Never moved stuff like that myself, and purely a quick and dirty observation from someone with no experience of that kind of load - common sense prevails usually tho

straps are 5 tonne first use then 2.5 thereafter and yes I agree about putting a chain on the back one 
that top one does look a little to over ambitious that’s where night time becomes your friend
oh and he has put lights on the rear
Looks like it might take a good go at taking out some traffic lights on occasion too.

Is that Charles Marshall’s place in Aberdeen?

The very place although I didn’t take the pictures.
If you let them they’d weld a tow hitch onto the underrun so you could tow another one behind 
I remember old Charles from some years ago, he was building timber frame house kits on a farm a few miles further up the road from there & had some sort of fiddle on the go.
The delivery adress was always that yard in the pics & when you turned up there, he would always bung the driver £20 to take the wood to the farm.
Wish there were more deliveries like that. Don’t fancy those trailers though!!
can’t believe that they were pic’s on their own website, i was hoping there were from vosa’s taking the ■■■■ loading…

There is a famous story that a disgruntled customer had the audacity to go onto his stand at the Highland show and complain about the paint work on his year old trailer, Mr Marshall pulled out a £20 note and said ‘here you are, now f off’ 
If you stood em up on their arse end you could get even more on
Pile em on if you can get away with it , although i would want a lot more than the last rate offered by marshals .

So I believe, I only ever did the one load for them and it just about covered diesel, I’ll run back empty before gracing their yard again.

With regards to the loads, a truck turned up at a local dealers with one of their ‘‘special’’ third world type loads that had items balanced upon each other and other bits hanging off held on only by straps, the dealership boss sent the driver away as he wasn’t prepared to risk the safety of anyone while it was being unloaded on his premises

His usual response to customer complaints about paintwork is to promise it will be rectified, then promptly posts them a tin of paint and a brush
Isnt there an overhang law, that limits how much a overhang, should overhang, before breaking the law on overhang limits…
