He doesn't need to worry - that damage will polish right out with a liberal application of Zaino -----

Thats the JLG lift, he must have forgotten to tilt it rearward, or should have used a crane.

I have 4 Lulls like that and I was going to take my Grand Sport and lift it with two of them once for a photo. Then my brain kicked in and I thought NO! Looked tilted back enough and he had padding at the carriage. I think if he hit the brakes the momentum was enough to spill it off.
