Not my pics
Here is a logging truck exhibited at a Forestry Industry Exhibition taking place on Rotarua racecourse New Zealand in 2006 fitted with " Bigfoot" tyre pressure adjustment system. Pure chance I came across this excellent show when on a visit to NZ.
Cheers, Leyland 600.
Couple more Volvoâs and a push chair where the wheel at the back looks as if its going to collapse pretty soon, Buzzer.
Many years ago (1967) Wullie N and I were hauling Shell Star fertilizer out of J.W. Watts, London Rd store in Carlisle to farms in South West Scotland. I had a Foden S21 8 wheeler and Wullie an LAD cabbed Albion Chieftain still in this smart livery.
Cheers, Leyland 600.

Arenât such devices subject to be torn away, especially on forest lanes?

Takes me back, how about you ? Buzzer.Indeed it does. But there are times when I think we really lived in a different world. We did things for ourselves, spoke less about âmy rightsâ ( I always told my kids donât think about your rights, just your duties to others) and rarely thought whether one could get compensation whenever something went wrongâŚ
I can never ever remember any school I went to being closed because of the weather. And in our day the âschool runâ (mothers in 4x4âs) hadnât been invented, we had to get there under our own steam.
Hers a shot of a Volvo of FB which was owned by a contributor to this thread Oily, cheers Buzzer.

Well I lived in the south as a child so snow was never an issueâŚwe very rarely saw any and I only lived a ten minute walk from school so came home each lunchtime (sometimes I even went back after lunch!) and it was on the same main A road we lived on. There wasnât much in the way of heating at school anyway so I doubt that we would have missed it if it wasnât working, but then we didnât have much heat at home either.

Same here, on my 2 mile walk to school the first half was on an unpaved narrow path sandwiched between a ditch and the main Nottingham to Derby A 52 trunk road with heavy lorries, buses and cars thundering past inches from my elbow. Dad used to cycle off to work in his trench coat and trilby but even when Grandad died and left us his car the thought of giving me and my little brother a lift never occurred to anyone. 
Couple of long gone local (to me) hauliers NMPs
Being raised in Buxton snow was just part of life , no schools closed we had to get there the best way we could . We werenât even allowed long trousers until we were 13 but that was life in the 50s . It amuses me to hear the weather warnings for 5cm of snow , thatâs 2 inches in old money .
They look like Humber Snipeâs I think,long time ago now!

Any ideas what model the body shells are ?
The radiator shape reminds me of Alvis I think. I have owned a Super Snipe and a Hawk and neither looked like that

I think they are âearlyâ Humbers from the 50âs.
