Bang on with the weight Larry. William Powell & Son had a brand new ERF eight wheeler with a bulk tipping body in 1968. That was 24 ton gross and carried 15 ton with a Gardner 150. They later on had two new six wheeled ERF’s at 22 ton gross. Times have changed,they are now struggling to get 20 ton on eight wheeler tippers at 32 ton gross.
Bring back the Foden’s ad ERF’s.
Cheers Dave.
