    The question is - Why did they lift the covers so high? Even to load a cover onto a truck, using forks...... I can't figure how the load fell onto the bonnet? Only time I have seen damage like that is when the anti-roll back feature is not working on the machine & the operator 'forgets' & rolls the bucket back too far in the fully raised position, & then a rock or piece of concrete rolls out over the back & onto the bonnet/windscreen ........ & those pics are really bad -did the operator take them? & still shaking ?

    Educate us folks on the other side of the pond, what's a pid lid?

    probably PIT, like the ones that are one a septic tank or a concrete meter vault
