    why cars and small vans don't realise the problems they cause to big trucks is beyond me.

    something i have been wondering is do guys carry skid steer's and mini excavators in dump/tip trucks, dog/pup or pig tip/end dump trailers and if you do do you tie/chain/strap them in at all?

    What's amazing about it, it's such a sad one to read because only people who are gone through it can realize the pain. http://xxx[/url

    very true nick and when it is in a tipper body it should be tied in cause the have been known to bounce out in accidents such as these causing even more damage

    Yes, with a 4 point binding system.
