Any tips as to getting a type back on a HCT when it comes off? It seems as if you need three pairs of hands to both keep the bits you get back on and gettingb the rest on before it just pings off again!

A job for Romec me thinks,there must be a defect form surely,or a manager in charge of fixing trollers? If it’s broke simply don’t use it!

It happened out on delivery. Phoned office and got somebody from the cage out. Second time its happened to me and others have had similar problems with their trolleries. More crap equipment from RM I guess!

two flat head screwdrivers.

been called out of the office many a time to tyres that have come off. I also then cable tie them on so they don't come off again.

Used to use a couple of screwdrivers and some washing up liquid... until I was told this fix. Take two cable ties, thread one through the wheel spoke and around the tyre - tighten and trim. Take the second cable tie and do the same 180 degrees opposite from the first. The cable ties are pretty robust and will last for ages.

Our office likes to fix everything with laggybands and kill off stickers, you’ll probably get great results too.
