Some fascinating pics on the previous page. Amongst the Dutch collection are a Foden and an AEC, both fitted with local cabs. They appear to date from the early 1960s. The Mk5 has a van Eck shed on it. I can’t identify the Foden’s coachbuilder. Perhaps our pals from the Continent can help?
PS combi89 may be able to tell us more about the Tractomas. I’m going to guess that it was the biggest of the 3 types, and expect to be corrected.

Could it possibly be 2 of Ted Styles’ from Outback Transport? He was a big Foden fan though I can’t remember the colour scheme and don’t know if he was into low loaders.

Could be that it was a NZ haulier, as 8 wheeler tractor units were/are more common there?

Some fantastic pictures here De heer Patrick.This picure made me think - I hope this driver didn’t have to take too many tight turns. With the tank overhanging so much at the rear the swing would have been quite something.

Thank you for your kind words Herr Sutherland, just keeping it interesting for everyone
Now, about that tank, I wonder where he was going to, as it’s pretty much down town centre in Amsterdam, you can clearly see the Munt Tower in the pic. If you look on Google Maps, you’ll see that he’s coming from the Vijzelstraat and is making his way to the Rokin. Back in the day there was a lot of industry still there, but I can’t think of any firms that would have been expecting such a load to be delivered.
Note the absence of markerboards, or even a pilot car in front, just whack it on and get the job done drive

Erm… solid machines those JCB’s…?
That Pointer truck must have been going to have done that much damage to the railway bridge ■■? It makes you
wonder how secure the bridge was before the accident ■■
Heres a bit about Crook & Willington.

Amazing to admit that, at that time, they could move such heavy loads with the power of the 105 bhp Gardner 6 LW or the 125 bhp of the Foden FD6 Mk I (only 4.1 litre displacement)!

Danne, you might recognise this unit?
Hi Patric! I sure do,it came from Norrköping he had some trucks during the years. He had one Scania 146 that was woted to be the best looking truck in Sweden 1980 or 81. The trucks then change colors to blue and red. Later on i he sold to Havator the finn crane and heavyhaul company.
Found and old truck magasin were he was in just before he sold. He always took Pride in hos trucks

Panalpina are now part of DSV - since August 2019. DSV started in 1976, in the small town of Skuldelev in Denmark, when ten owner-operated hauliers joined forces and founded DSV – De Sammensluttede Vognmænd (The Consolidated Hauliers). Since then, DSV has evolved to become a world-leading supplier of transport and logistics.
