Top notch piece of kit there! Don’t know what you’re moaning about, it’s got everything it needs to have.

So the story behind this is,
So this trailer was put onto a bay with a incline… no problems and that was how it was dropped by the driver to be loaded.
Trailer gets loaded and gets moved to parking by Shunter who didn’t wind the legs up and clipped the top of the slope with the feet.
Would you take this on the road ?

Yes. If there was nothing about to fall off it, it wouldn’t bother me. There’s nothing to say a trailer has to have landing legs. Obviously I’d have pics of before I lifted it! 
Drop the suspension if you’re dropping the trailer and it doesn’t happen

The legs are snapped at the bottom and the feet are being held on with a fractured peace of metal. Nothing else photo probably doesn’t do it justice but if you blown the photo up you can see the bottom part of the leg ripped to the back.
The trailer required a new set of legs.
It was collected in a “yard” [no names mentioned]in Yorkshire on returned to a place I used to work at

Break them off, throw them in the corner, and carry on. No laws being broken.

We used to run a tanker with no legs at all, dropped on a trestle when removed.

Yeah, I remember them. Extreme weight-saving!
No. Defect it and refuse. Why take the risk with damaged equipment?
Winding the legs up could be a good workout .
I would hammer test the landing legs and whether I took it out or not would depend on whether they passed or failed.

The old man used to reckon we made an extra £3k a yr on a tanker in the eighties with no legs attached …every little helped.
If the tanker (trailer part) had no legs then it could be driven by a driver with a C licence as it couldn’t be taken apart in service. In the bus world you don’t need a D+E for a bendy bus for precisely that reason.

I’m not so sure.

We were told its because the engine was in the rear section.

Correct Harry, it’s still registered as a trailer and the tractor unit is still a tractor unit, it’s was just a weight saver. You needed a class one to drive , and it could be taken apart in service…if you had the trestle in your yard. We had a couple.
Thanks for the replies
Interesting to see the different angles to look at if ever faced with it
and the thought of getting a tug of plod.
I didn’t collect the trailer it was in our yard the following morning and just wondered
Thanks
If they are Jost legs they crack all the time about 3 inches up from the bottom, not unusual to see one in the yard with one side wheel set missing!
They have redesigned their later ones so this cannot happen anymore.

that would be the common sense answer depending on the company you worked for.
normal type company,then thats sensible.
if t was a tosco/plobber mob,then it would obviously be vor unless they confirmed otherwise which would take half the shift to work out and by that time it prob wouldnt go anyway.
