I love those taking the piss on here. It's like they have never asked a question in thier lives about the job. It's like they were born knowing everything.
Let's help people out lads and lasses.
Isn't it better someone asks and gets the right answer than guess?

I would get it loaded if you can. Just be careful screwing onto the bay with a flat, you might scuff it off the rim. Maybe Jack the air up in the trailer while moving around to save the plastic mudguards if anything happens. Just lower it again when you back up to the bay. You still have 5 good tyres so weight is fine. Just take your time and if it looks dodgy then stop. Tell your boss your plans too or he will rip you a new one if something happens!

had already backed onto the bay when I noticed it. It was when they loaded 21 tonnes of milk onto it that getting it off the bay and reversing opposite was a bit dodgyDariWay wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 12:52 pm I would get it loaded if you can.

It can be put on when a trailer is full. But it maybe unsafe for the trailer to have it’s tyre fitted whilst being loaded, not just for the fitter but those loading it also.
You did the right thing in asking and also waiting for it to be finished to be loaded. I’ve been in same position before

Thanks for your help. Tyre sorted, he just had to wait around for it to be loaded, as he arrived as they just started.
To those that think I'm asking a stupid question, maybe I could've rephrased it as follows (but didn't):
My trailer was empty on a bay, but was about to be loaded. Wasn't sure if I should go ahead and load it while waiting for the tyre guy, or wait til he'd done the tyre then have it loaded.

Ours do it loaded and mostly do it without taking the wheel off. No re-torque needed.

Youre alright mate, doesnt matter if its loaded or not. Those jacks they have are really powerful, and even when loaded itll only be lifting 5 or 6 ton anyway.
Re: Does a trailer need to be empty for the tyre fitted to change a tyre? Got a wait time of 60-90 minutes before he arr
Any breakdown you call in you will be asked is it loaded and if you say yes the next Q will be is it hazardous or perishable
Re: Does a trailer need to be empty for the tyre fitted to change a tyre? Got a wait time of 60-90 minutes before he arr
they didn't ask if it was loaded or not. Don't think they'd ask if it was hazardous though, with me being an Asda driver sat at a dairy warehouse
Re: Does a trailer need to be empty for the tyre fitted to change a tyre? Got a wait time of 60-90 minutes before he arr
They only ask if the trailer is loaded so they can take the piss with the 60-90 arrival time
Re: Does a trailer need to be empty for the tyre fitted to change a tyre? Got a wait time of 60-90 minutes before he arr
60-90 is what they always say. Last time after 90 minutes I got a call “be there in an hour mate”

I’m not taking the piss, but try thinking about it. When a truck gets a puncture on a motorway, do you see it being unloaded onto the hard shoulder before a tyre gets done? Or do we have 1000’s of trucks abandoned round the country as they got a puncture while loaded so are just left there?

Was probably only flat at the bottom or with all the hot air on here some of them could have blown it upWonnath wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 1:02 pm I’m not taking the piss, but try thinking about it.

Why would you wait ?
I am sure ya work for a big firm let the tyre man wait we usually have to
Re: Does a trailer need to be empty for the tyre fitted to change a tyre? Got a wait time of 60-90 minutes before he arr
because I've never had a tyre guy come out to me before, so didn't know if I should wait or just get it loadedWonnath wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 1:02 pm I’m not taking the piss, but try thinking about it.

Personally I would have got me load on and be ready for up the road and let the tyre man wait not that there ever on time

As the suspension is on air can be fitted empty or loaded as fitter will release the air in just that axle to lift it and change tyre
Re: Does a trailer need to be empty for the tyre fitted to change a tyre? Got a wait time of 60-90 minutes before he arr
Might as well ask him to put WINTER air in when he arrives,due on 5th november any way,he will have the gas with him im sure,then when you get back to base change the air in all the others,remember you only have 10 working days to change to winter air,stopped after 15th November with Summer air risk of big fine and points,its you the driver responsilbilty to make sure that after 15th nov tyres have Winter air in,dont be caught out.
Re: Does a trailer need to be empty for the tyre fitted to change a tyre? Got a wait time of 60-90 minutes before he arr
No the fitter will fit some sky hooks to the top of trailer and gravity will then be reversed and it will lift itself
Re: Does a trailer need to be empty for the tyre fitted to change a tyre? Got a wait time of 60-90 minutes before he arr
They usually ask if it’s loaded. Maybe they charge a bit more if it’s heavy; could depend on fitter. Shouldn’t be a problem though.

James Thomas Robinson basically you havnt a clue but thought you’d best post anyway. Just so you know, the price doesn’t change with weight, a tyre fitter isn’t a market trader

Yeah, you’ll need a forklift driver to drive from the depot to offload you, he’ll be there in about a week.
