Telehandler pull

Spotted by a UK reader on twitter two telehandlers being used to remove a container from a house in Boston, Lincolnshire.

It has apparently been there since a major flood for storage. Why this method was used to lift the container is a mystery. Whoever decided this was a good idea clearly has no idea about safe lifting.

There are so many things wrong with it, from the man walking on top of the load, to the old web slings and the manner in which they are attached to both the container and the forks and the stresses being applied to the telehandlers and their booms.

So many things wrong here

Absolutely cert for our Death Wish series Hopefully this did not go as wrong as it so easily could have.
