What happened to the safety mech on the lorry-should never have happened.....surely the base should lock down or movement be disabled.  Crazy  :o

The PTO (power take off) runs constantly on the large tippers but there is a light on the control panel that tells you the body is up (as long as it's working correctly!).

Very few have an audiable warning device to tell you that the bed is raised and you just have the light on the dashboard.No excuse though as mirrors will show that it is still raised.The phrase 'They Are Among Us' comes to mind. :o

"

A lorry has crashed through a footbridge in Istanbul, Turkey, injuring one person.

Police are looking into the driver's claim that the dumper rose up without him realising.

Two other people on the footbridge escaped without injury.

No-one was killed in the accident. "

One would assume that other drivers would have noticed and flashed lights and leaned on their horns.  I wonder how far he had travelled with the container section raised like that?
