On a recent visit to Antwerp, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this ADT go over, there's no way I would have tipped at the crazy angle.....

Luckily it didn't take too much to put it back on it's feet....

Hi John,

From the many pics I've downloaded from different websites it would appear that ADT's are very easy to turn over
Surprised that our good old friends at the HSE haven't poked their noses in yet
Nice pics anyways

Would that not be part of their safety? The load platform rolls but leaves the driver (and power plant) standing.

yeh those 2 had to be the only 2 dumper drivers that rolled the cab not the butt's on the whole job both and there where at least 30 dumpers on that job. mind you at least 10 rolled the butt's i think andrew's terex above wasn't actually his own fault cause he was instructed to tip there and the ground just gave way but davey boy had no excuse he shoulda known better than to turn hard lock while tipping on a batter.. i think the conversation that andrew got from his banks man was "are you alright mate?" replies with: " yeh im ok " "Ok good. Chuck me out your grease gun!!!!" replies with: Huh Why?" "Because i can grease your prop shaft while its up like this!!!!"

if i remember rightly and if you look at the pic closley he was coming down a newly plained piece of road which used to be the slip road leading up to inis downs round about, which had a good hard base there! no soft ground, maybe a case of going to fast????

Well mate,

You've hit the nail on the head there !!

The Driver was Andy Cann one of the biggest Leadfoots I have ever seen It doesn't matter what he is driving it has to be at 100mph

Really P****s me off!! Because one of these days he is going to kill someone on the road with his macho bulls*** speeding attitude
