Greetings!
I have my couplings and pipe and air compressor all ready to put some air into the red line of my trailer. But what PSI do I set it to? I mean what PSI dose the compressor of the tractor units put out?
Thanks
Approximately 100 psi.
YEEE HAAA Cowboy is back. âA little knowledge is a dangerous thingâ. Never mind youâve got a lasoo if things go pear shaped. But who cares?they are only employees.

Thanks!
I will set it to 100psi and see who we get on
Do you think the red emergency line will pump up the suspesion to?
Are the tryes 100 psi too?
There are no employies matty, if you read the other thread properly then you would of seen that i wront âI have nothing to do with your $ ass industryâ
FFS leave the tyres alone. Our much missed and admired contributor Saviem was killed blowing up an old tyre, and he had been in the motor trade all his working life. That was on a vehicle which hadnât spent the last however many years unused parked in the open.
But Iâm sure you think you know best.
And what do you do then? let me guess shall I? sit behind your wheel condeming those that dont sit behind a wheel
So what is your advice then? when your tyre starts going flat you dispose of it and buy a brand new one like any responsable eddie stobart oporator would
Tyres have a finite life. Inflating out of date tyres can easily be fatal, but you seem to know best. You come on here asking advice, then get shirty when itâs not what you wanted to hear.
When I read this guyâs threads,.I get the vibe of those H&S vids you see at a dcpc course or an induction or something, the ones that enact everything that you shouldnât do and how the dire consequenses of such actions go.
Heâs probably does what the rest of us do and has been in this ââ$ ass industryââ (whatever tf that means) a long time and has a vast experience knowing what you should and shouldnât do.
Instead of going off on one everytime you hear what you donât want to hear, as you did with me and a couple of othersâŚmaybe you should listen to people who know this⌠ââ$ ass industryââ , it may save your or somebody elseâs life.
The A&E (and a couple of cemetries) are full of smart arses who thought they knew better than those who actually DOâŚjust saying likeâŚmatty.
Btw Iâve just sussed who tf ââmattyââ is.
itâs actuallyâŚ
that pics a blast from the past where did you dig that up i havent seen it for years.
Hereâs another then.

Going back to the original thread, I thought heâd been taking advice from someone called Matthew,
but it was just his sloppily written posts which soon revealed a cavalier attitude towards his intended task, anyone nearby, and his readers.
cant be bothered to find the original post but how does one get rid of a trailer they no longer want and cant be legally taken on the road. is there companies that will come and collect them?
Frankly, I donât know why Iâm bothering with this because heâs probably flounced off by now. The OP reminds me of the guy who came on here some years ago who wanted to park a double deck trailer on an industrial estate and then live in it. Nothing anyone said would dissuade him from his plan.
As my father used to say: âthere are fools, damn fools and bloody fools, they have to be protected from themselvesâ.
OP Rick O Jones: âAnd what do you do then? let me guess shall I? sit behind your wheel condeming those that dont sit behind a wheelâ
No, I donât sit behind a wheel condemning people for a living. Iâve spent over 50 years repairing heavy vehicles and driving them when required. In that time Iâve come across a number of idiots who didnât stop to think. Iâve also learned what not to do, and to recognise potential danger to myself or others; the potential energy of compressed air or springs, and sudden unexpected movement being just some of the risks to be considered.
OP Rick O Jones: âSo what is your advice then? when your tyre starts going flat you dispose of it and buy a brand new one like any responsable eddie stobart oporator wouldâ
A responsible operator wouldnât be tricked into giving advice to someone he couldnât trust to understand what he was being told, let alone someone he suspected would ignore that advice. One thing he would do however, is to ensure that whoever was fabricating an adapter to move a semi trailer with a forklift was suitably qualified to carry out the necessary design and welding. He would also make sure that whoever was in charge of the actual movement had briefed his assistants fully,understood what could go wrong, and how to avoid that happening.

If an unwanted trailer can be made safe, it can be taken onto the road on trade plates. If it canât be made safe, or it isnât economically viable to do so then it could be low-loadered away, or more likely cut up on site into more manageable lumps. Waste operators licences, authorised dealers etc come into all of this I think. The cost of doing that vs the value it it as scrap or reusable spares? How long is a piece of string? I wouldnât guess.
i was just wondering as a few years ago someone decided they wernt happy that the trailer was assembled and decided to turn it into a flat pack via a low bridge. it sat in the corner of the yard for a few months (until the insurance claim was sorted?) then just disappeared. Everyone was joking that the company scruff had stolen it and was going to gaffer tape it back together to live in. just wondered what the legalities of it were
Is that abandoned trailer still there on the A580 East Lancs road in the lay by? It was there for a while.
it appeared to have the curtains buging with crap, so double bubble, get rid of yer old trailer and load it with all yer shâŚa cheap way of disposal.
What I wanted to hear is actully facts and not childish dribble dream up in some work canteen/ drivers weighting room or even bar of a truck stop
Your talks on sell by dates have very little validity indeed!

Wow! you took the words right out of my mouth! then that really is you indeed! Who the â â â â â â buggery was I fooling all these years talking about childish dreamed up didums and point scoring little greesy pole climbers, sacrificing their children to the gods (never mind bending over). When it was in plain sight all the time. How blind must I have been
