Dear Ryan,

loading or unloading tracked kit to or from transport often has a few ring twitter moments.

I recently loaded 2 tracked AFVs onto transport, decks were frozen and I had very little leeway either side before I would drop off the trailer. Skating in a 12 ton vehicle you have only had mere seconds of previous driving experience with is daunting, but over time becomes part of the overall experience of ownership of tracked MVs.

Needless to say, after reversing the first one onto a detachable gooseneck trailer and the hand signals from the numpty truckie were too little too late and my nerves starting to fray, I called it quits for the second one and drove it on front first but that put the vehicle back to front on the trailer.

You should have some handy spares after you gas axe all the timber winch kit.

Good luck


Robin
