My old firm still runs a W-plate (18 year old) Scania 114 340 day cab tractor unit for shunting trailers to and from the workshop, and also to the MOT test station, and occasionally the tank wash. Before that, we had a 51-plate ERF ECX.
Can anybody beat that?
BT fleet at Lutterworth have a 91 J reg DAF xf still in BT grey
We’ve got a couple of ERF Olympic’s that do yard duties these days, no idea how old they are because the number plates just say SHUNT 1 & SHUNT 2…

Jupiter fruits in Newport Salop run a 53 TGM as yard shunter , up to recently our trailer repair guys ran an S reg Volvo but its been replaced by a Terburg
One of my actual working lorries is an S reg, so 1998.
Still works, so why replace it.

We still have some XF 95’s that are used for shunting. We also have an F10 and F12 that the boss is planning to restore at some point. There is also a 51 plate FM7.

Thankfully London is on our not a chance in hell list of places to go.
Regular on the Caen boats are a ‘T’ plate FH12 and ‘Y’ plate Scania.
And they are both on the correct age plates, not personalised ones. Both are owner drivers.
I understand the Volvo is being sold soon.

I was at a cold store that was using a really old ERF. Don’t know the year but it had the curved front. Looked ancient
Asfordby Storage in Melton Mowbray have 2 or 3 Volvo FL10 shunters

Ivedriven a couple ofOlympicsyearsago, with theEaton twin splittergearbox
I believe that The Thing (as we call it) we use as a shunter is an old EC series ERF (about '92 vintage)… but, on the grounds that it’s now got no cab left, I could be wrong.
In the yard i run out of its a K plate erf and 4 volvo FL10s and not in to bad of condition.
