Lifting the tractor and trailer as well as the container would mean the overall weight could potentially be 30% in excess of normal, unless of course the container isn't loaded with anything particularly heavy, which is always a possibility.

Looks like an RTG rather than a crane, probably able to lift 2 20's with a max weigth of 60-70 tons total.

It could even be fully automated or remote operated. Someone will get a bking over the twistlocks lol. Most 1st world countries will have the trucker out of the cab for the operation but I've no idea where the photo was taken.

I'm sure. I know nothing about the crane thingies, but does that mean that no alarms sound if something that should weight 30 ish tonnes is well over 40? Mind you, if it's capable of handling 60-70 tonnes in normal operation, perhaps, if they have overload alarms, they're only programmed to go off at weights well in excess of this?

I've never been in an RTG cab, portage cranes have all sorts of buzzers and alarms going off all the time no idea how they understand what one is over another! Quite a crazy enviroment, and a skillful job.

The RTG quite possibly doesnt know how heavy the box is supposed to be, no idea what information he is working on. It will certainly know how heavy the thing is he is picking up and if it is too heavy but they may just get instructions to move box x to position y

no no I get that at a glance it may look like that but it doesn't really does it, it's not quite as deceptive as some of the other photos of that type

I wondered if maybe I was missing something extra but it seems not

As you were chaps

Blimey. I thought that the woman's leg was instead the back of a tan leather chair.

To be honest I couldn't see how it WASN'T her foo-foo for at least 5 minutes and wondered how mickk had gotten away with that.

I mean I knew it was a deception but couldn't see that it was just the girl in the foregrounds legs!

Still, it did the trick

Got any more?

















Please.
