This is the maximum recommend weight in the trolley but what happens when it is a busy day and there is no relief driver to drop mail out to you, obviously you will try and put as much in the HCT rather than return to the office to collect the rest which isn't practical anyway

so in your world H&S is only for quiet days?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I'm not sure but I think the weight for an electric HCT is 240kg - they're certainly not light...................or fast.

Not a seat, no, but I do believe there is an attachment to while away the hours when you breakdown, the ladies will particularly like it :whistle
