Posted By Ian Phillips Phil, I work for a building contractor, all deliveries are by sub-contractors carrying out work on our behalf, generaly the main issue we have is the delivery of steel beams etc, where an operative is required to access the trailer in order to sling the steels for a crane off lift. The trailers are normally flat bed artic's and extenders.
