A small observation:
These skip lorries are the same as those used to pick up an enclosed version
of the skip used at my local tip. While waiting in the heinous queue to
throw away some hedge trimmings I have often watched them pick up and drop
off skips.
I'm not sure, but I thought the boom just prescribed an arc, there weren't
separate movements of the boom to move the skip back and to drop it off. I
am going to have to check this now. One of things I've always marvelled at
is how far off the ground the cab can lift when loading, I've seen the front
wheels clear the floor by over five feet. I think the skip's weight and the
length of the truck must be finely tuned to prevent disaster!
I must mow the lawn at the weekend so I can check.
