The trailor had about 8 tonnes of liquid sugar on it. They ended up getting a specialist recovery vehicle in to right it! All of us forklift drivers just wanted to get under it with our trucks, but management wouldn't allow it for health and safty reasons. We'd have had it done in five minutes, but it took most of the evening and a lot of £s! From what I've heard it happens quite often.

With the pivot point quite close to the front, and the weight of the trailer chassis, plus the axles, wheels and tyres behind it, I'm surprised it would do that.

Amongst the normal trailers I bought I also used to buy some shorty 8m single axle fridge trailers and they used to have a tendancy to try to tip up - put a set of steady legs on the front bulkhead which the shunters used to pull down prior to loading.

It makes you think though how much weight is on the rear wheels of the tractor unit when it is being dragged along! :shocked:
