Yes, they have done in the past, but I don't think we need to bring that up.

Possibly, but you wouldn't go to a piling shop and say "I want a thousand short-depth pilings.

I think he means short lengths of piling ( the 6 - 8 foot vs the stronger/longer 20 foot stuff)

Was that not posted a couple of pages ago ?

In fact it is not "water transport" - the majority of the income actually comes from Water extraction licences (Farmers and industry) and wayleaves where utility companies pay to run their cables under the tow-path, another large segment is where councils, industrial estates etc are charged (a discharge licence) for the surface water from car parks etc that run-off into the canals.

I use mine alongside my excavator for moving large amounts of soil wwhen doing groundwork - like a new 40m x 20m menage, or shifting the muck heap loads of jobs. I had 15 x 20 ton loads of cockel shells delivered (which took some moving) to form a surface in the menage.

Easy to bypass - simply disconnect the wires from both sides of the switch and join them together. (I've done that on several bits of plant where you cannot leave the engine running if the seat is ''empty'' (deadman switch)

Mine had the same 'end', but I got around it happening again by inverting the light and mounting it on the underside of the roll bar.

I believe it is a company called Meta

That is the point I was trying to make in post #2

Did it have 24 hours between coats and 48 hous after the final coat before it was put in the water. 3 coats of blacking is really a 7-day job
