I have been informed that it was probably a searchlight tower. Makes sense, from the construction.

Especially when you get to the other end and can't undo the bloody thing...

Don't blame you, Bloke I worked with nearly destroyed a McDonalds store ( no great loss imo ), when his flat top came off turning into Springvale road. Thing was, he did all the right things, sorta. Tug test, visual check of the jaws, etc. Trouble was, the trailer had gone in a touch too high. The pin closed the jaws, but it sat on top, which a good visual check would have shown, but he'd done it every day, as we all do. He said he heard and felt a solid banging over bumps. Well, I would like to think that would have been enough warning. I know that I learned a thing or two about complacency.

Nobody was injured, thankfully. The spring brakes did what they are supposed to do.

Saw a tilt tray on Beaudesert Rd yesterday,that had dropped two engines off the rear of the tray.

Oil and other bits and pieces all over the road.

Further forwards there was an old LC tray back that didn't fall off.

Thats not going anywhere?

Many years ago i saw a huge genset on a semi,tip over and fall off,on Coronation Dr,for those that know Brisbane.

It all happened in slow motion,luckily i could change lanes so i could miss it falling.

Coro Drive right next to the Brown Snake, you were lucky I knew a nice looking girl in school that had to wear a sling on her nerve damaged arm due a truck full of pipes next to the car she was in breaking free and falling on them.
