Just got a little 3 ton Hitachi in and it required my mates roll on roll off lorry to lift it - all was going well with the off loading untill one of the lorrys rams lowered quicker than the other with all the weight going to one side the digger slipped sideways and nearly couped (Northern Irish for tipped)
Trust me it was worse than it looked and was swaying back and forth- teasing will I or wont I ?
Bring out the Hymac - Bring out the Hymac was the order of the day - we trundled the Hymac (which was waiting for collection by it's new owner) over to the lorry and used its trusty weight to balance the roll on roll off lorry so that we could try again and unload successfully. Good old Hymac
