Oshkosh is a relatively new manufacturer for me - sorry for my ignorance again. I believe their trucking focus is, among others, is specialty trucks, military vehicles, truck bodies, airport fire apparatus and access equipment.
The armed forces uses those black ones Johnny, seen them a lot when I shifted tanks for them between their camps in Germany, quite impressive to say the least, I believe they’re powered by either ■■■■■■■ or CAT engines. But having that said… who remembers the Scammell Commanders they had back in the day…? Now that was some beast indeed
From a fellow flickrite today.

Scammell Commanders - who could forget them. When I was a wee laddie I loved them. Even today they are still an impressive sight.
Bit of a one off though, never seen or heard of a tractor unit being fitted with hydraulic suspension before, it’s quite common on trailers, especially on the modular stuff, ground clearance is better and you can adjust each side separately… it’s just bit more of a bumpy ride when empty…
Another thing that striked me as odd in the article is that they used PTO’s to power the hydraulics of the trailer necks and such, instead of using a donkey engine…
What happened to Hill’s anyway? Were they taken over or did they just seized trading?
Dont know anything about Hills chap ! Nice to see you back whats the crack you keep getting lost
or something or just dragging the jobs out ■■?

Here you go Johnny.
I will have some other articles on Commanders somewhere,will see if i can find them.
Nice to see you’re that concerned about my well being Dean, cheers!
Now, I could say I was out working all the time, but since nobody on here believes that, apart from Herr Sutherland that is, I’ll just go with the alternate version… was held up by the lassies in the various countries I drove through… I’ll get me coat…
As some of you know I started working for Mammoet quite recently, and it’s good to be back in the game like! First trips I’ve done wasn’t about shifting heavy stuff or multi axled trailers, but enjoyed it nonetheless! Some pic’s to show you (Dean, you reading this mate ) what I’ve been up to…
