Slight hitch...

That is really unfortunate. No comfort to you, but I often worry about the condition of any lifting gear used by delivery firms and the like onshore. When you see the level of control over lifting gear we have offshore, it beggars belief that people can get away with such poor quality onshore.

I bet the wire the shackle was attached too wasn't up to much either. They always seem to have broken strands and go all curly when there is no tension on them, indicating overloading at some time. Mention LOLER (Lifting Operations & Lifting Equipment Regulations) to them and they haven't got a clue.

Hope your Stag is repairable. Straight back to Wards, I guess?

Hi Tony. Feel gutted for you bud. Can't see many positives in the story, other than that nobody was hurt; but all you can do is look forward to the day it is finished, when you are having a drive in the sunshine, and all the grief will only be a memory.
good luck,
Peter

Hi Tony

Words don't really cover the emotions you must have felt, lets see how good EJ Wards are with that repair:shock:Not easy at all.

Oh NO! :shock:

I think I would have to find a quiet corner and have a little cry.

(Have you read Chris Liles thought of the month in the mag? Very apt I think for everyone reading this thread)

Sorry to see that Tony.

My stag is away at the paintshop. It was winched on to the recovery lorry that delivered it using an old exhaust clamp bolted thru the front chassis rail where the bumper bracket fits, now starting to think i will need to find a better option for when mine makes its returnjourneyin tahiti blue.

Hope the repair can be turned around quickly for you.
