. That’s one some has promised to do with me.. I’m still waiting, I keep telling him that all these adventures and challenges he’s undertaken would pall into obscurity when compared to ‘And mum came too expedition !’

Right - lesson 2 - the aftermath.
ibb.co/hEHUsU
Anyway - has anyone ever seen that happen before? The driver was quite upset but I don't think it could be his fault. I will await superior knowledge, or Mr Stabby - whichever arrives first.
Not the drivers fault. Defective skelly trailer,. But I've started a thread on TruckNet c/w pic so you should get a bit of insight from those more familiar with containers than I am. www.trucknetuk.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=157140
Re the questions on trucknet about the requirement for 2 cranes, I think they had to use 2 to maintain the angle until clear of the locking pins. As it was there was a bit of hammering and banging as they let go. I think a straight lift would have jammed the rear pins and brought the trailer up with the box.
It was lucky that there was room to bring the new trailer directly along side the broken one, as slewing the load would have been a bit impractical.

It was also mentioned that the container would be likely to collapse inwards if lifted at all four corners from the same point. Although they are ribbed, the ribbing is designed to withstand vertical stacking on ships and on the quayside, from what little involvement I've had with them, containers are always lifted using a spreader.

I thought the comments about the scrapes was interesting. would moving with the legs down cause the damage.

You can lift from the bottom with lifting lugs. www.liftingsafety.co.uk/category/container-lifting-lugs-175.htmlWe used two gantry cranes to load 20' containers onto class 2 rigid trucks. Hoik container up in the air (Tandem lift on the cranes) reverse truck under suspended container. Lower onto bed and secure. It can be done with a pair of 5.5T forklifts with 8' long forks, it IS a bit sketchy and care needs taking at all times. It's not a bad idea to send the H&S Muppet off for a nice lunch while you do the lift 👍🍻
