The 1 up there with the wheels off the ground is called a suck truck .. it backs up to a normal truck and "sucks" is off onto the ground

this is a "mud" tank .. empty its over 26ton

and this is a rig as its getting pulled down bit by bit

Did anyone see Kath & Kim the other night when Kel tried to take a 27000lt rainwater tank home by tying it to the roof of his Smart. Absolute gold seeing the straps break and this massive tank roll through the Bunnings carpark......lol
(Pity I can't find an image of it)

Surely that can't be still structurely in-tact...any sign of twist which would be inevitable with a building like that would cause brick joint cracks everywhere!
