On the walking floors we go to one yard. First question “have you a weigh loader driver” yes “back under that machine” ok. Backs under guy asks for keys. I tell him need ignition on for weigh loader.he says keys so give him keys end up 4 tonne over. Repeat while machine takes some off. Reweigh still over repeat weigh out at just over 42 tonnes. As they paid by load not weight job changed now put a stand with stop sign up against front window so we can clock weight
the nodding donkey:
Brabantia in Congresbury, put trailer on the bay. Monkey comes out with salvo lock. You remove red air line. HE then clamber up to fit the salvo lock. Driver not allowed to do it…. Fair enough. But wait… you then need to hand in your keys…
I sure that elfinsafety officers have a forum somewhere, where they try to outdo each other in the “over the top stakes”.
“You wont believe want I make the visiting drivers do now…”Wearing the hi-viz clown trousers to collect a load of bricks in an open air yard…
LUK (Schaeffler) in Sheffield were the same, lock the cab, fit salvo, put vehicle key and salvo key on hooks on back of loading bay door, sign declaration and drink free coffee, meanwhile, forklift driver exchanged salvo key for roller shutter key and door could be opened. the vehicle keys went up with the roller shutter door.
