Top deck collapsed on car transporter M25
Posted: Mon Jul 27, 2015 8:38 pm
This transporter, loaded with classic cars, was on it's way to Italy when the top deck collapsed on the M25. Initially we were called out in the service van, but as photos show, not much could be done! The NRC was dispatched to support/lift the deck so it could be chained up and escorted back to our yard.
The following day the Century 1075 was set up to assist and lift the deck whilst the cars were unloaded. The operator dispatched another transporter onto which the cars were loaded so they could continue their journey to Italy. The defective transporter returned to the operator for repairs.
