We have a similar system on our trailers, electric powered hydraulic lift decks, you can raise and lower the top deck for loading - unloading. The trailers has a voltage sensor and if the voltage drops too low they stop working, we have to start the engine to get them working again. Most of our trailers have also got reversing sensors, these just slap on the brakes when you get too close to something, that might be handy for those that don't use their eyes when reversing but they are a nuisance when trying to reverse onto a loading bay where the trailer has got to be touching the bay before unloading - loading can start. the sensor cannot be switched off all you can do is keep pushing until the brakes release and you start reversing again - this can happen several times before you finally make contact with the bay. |

Some of us have too, otherwise all those "next day deliveries" would not arrive on time. My tin can carries about 34 pallets or cages of next day parcels. |

Posted 1 Oct 2017 by kevin Post:
The law was probably written in a way that enables animal owners to be able to seek recompense for losses rather than the welfare of the animals. I've seen dogs hit by cars that were seemingly "fine" afterwards (while the car was a little on the bit significantly dented side) only for them to die a few hours later from shock :/ which may have been prevented if the incident hadn't been brushed off as a lucky escape. I know from personal experience of receiving an injury ending in either a dazed/shocked/splayed-horizontal state whilst in a public place... I'd have to be dead before I'd claim to be anything other than fine until things proved otherwise, and all the while attempting to leap to my feet so I can go and collapse in private. Any fall or accident that could have caused a shock to the head (you do not need to strike the head) should always be checked out by professionals. |

Posted 30 Sep 2017 by kevin Post: A discrepancy worth review? That depends on which way you read it, the definition to me seems to relate as to whether an animal is domesticated or wild, there are now other farmed animals including deer, but the majority of deer are wild animals. The other item of interest is the correct procedure in the event of a badly injured deer, because I would not leave the scene even if I was not directly involved with the incident while a badly injured animal would possibly be left suffering. Luckily nowadays we have the advantage of carrying mobile phones. |

Posted 29 Sep 2017 by kevin Post: The last bambi "recovered" was fresher than those found wrapped in plastic, and no it was not my motor that had hit it. M1 Northampton area, Muntjac buck, It was hit by an semi, the headlights on one side were smashed and it had blown out the sidelight fuses, I was about 10 min behind him and was called and asked if I could give him assistance, I got most of his lights working and a fitter was arranged to meet him at his destination to complete repairs, the deer was dead so I said thank you. |

I see on average a couple of Barn Owls a week, thankfully I have never hit one. Can't say the same for the pigeons during the late summer evenings:-( The last bambi "recovered" was fresher than those found wrapped in plastic, and no it was not my motor that had hit it. |

Posted 26 Sep 2017 by kevin Post: I have noticed the number of roadkill hedgehogs has dropped dramatically in the past 20 years, I am sure that it is not just losses from the roads that has caused their decline. I see, and try to avoid a lot of foxes and badgers on the road during the night, in some areas a fair number of rabbits as well. As for larger roadkill - deer, If I have got space to stop and if it looks fresh, yes I will throw it on the back of the truck, my dogs (GSD'S) are fed on both raw and cooked meats and I like a little bit of bambi as well:-) |
