Typical of you Dean - you also come up with an appropriate article. You are another one with a mega shoebox or two!!!

Dean nicked that book from my private library Johnny, he’s on Scotland yard’s list now…

Oh, oh what a naughty boy.

This was a Sunday morning move for Sunters, starting at Stockton on Tees, which proved quite popular with the locals!

I took lots of photos of the move with the Tractomas and Mercedes Titans having a bit of a workout, although not the best quality, they are better than nothing!

Here is some of the move, there are more of the same if you want…

Not sure if it’s the Titan Sunter’s once owned, but I’ve got a pic somewhere of a Titan in Econofreight livery standing at some middle East depot, looking rather worn out… no idea what happened to the tractomas…

Aye, reckoned it was to do with sommat like this Oily, cheers. You reckon that 5th axle is a steering axle…?

Right, Johnny posted some pic’s of Holleman earlier on, saying they started 20 years ago in Romania. This however isn’t the whole story, they might have started in Romania 20 years ago, but the origins of the company go back furter in time into the 1930’s, starting in the south of Holland. Can’t find all that much on them though, only thing I’ve got is yet another shoe box of pic’s dating from the 80’s and 90’s with a couple dating from the mid 50’s, should give you an idea of how big of a name they were back then.

They didn’t only had a heavy haulage division, but had several mobile cranes as well and a container division, the heavy haulage side was taken over by Mammoet Road Cargo, the crane division by Convoi (which later was taken over by Mammoet as well), the office in Romania is very much still excisting to this day being one of the bigger players in their “home” market.
