Well spotted. It is on the bumpstops. I wonder if the springs are fucked. It's meant to be able to carry nearly two tons ffs.

Utterly fucked I think, how much weight do you normally carry in tools when you aren't doing a scrap run? You don't want to fit a 5t set if you don't need to....

I'm refurbishing an old trailer and using galvanised sheet for the sides. Had to cut 6 metres of it, so first proper use of the Lidl plasma cutter.

Been watching a bloke who uses one on YouTube, he puts a straight edge down as a guide then runs along it with the torch, looks to get nice straight cuts.

Strangely enough there's not that much over the rear wheels. I might take in on the weighbridge the next time I do my scrap.
