Not sure, quite a lot. Notice it's 'banded" together, so it's a pre-packaged pickup. This means the staff will have loaded it with a forklift :o . I'm more concered up the height of the weight ... and the trailer being tail heavy. They have twin axle loaner trailers that would probably be good for 2ton gross weight.

Obviously you leave your trailer chained where the loaner trailer was parked ... :)

He would be over the 500kg load capacity of that trailer. The cage wouldn't be engineered to take that weight. If he were pulled over in SA for that load...he would be fined, the forklift driver would be fined and the shop would be fined, under the chain of responsibility laws.

If in doubt or the load is unsafe, we will send the customer away.

Exactly the seller was probably only in it to make a buck and doesn't care. I don't know where this pix]c was taken, but I have never seen anyone at a Bunnings store load any customers vehicle with a fork lift. They might load customers vehicles at one of their trade centres
