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.

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.Hi guys,
be patient, with my new job in an After Sales Department, I don’t have lot’s of time during my evenings … and most of my Tractomas pictures and folders are always in my previous house …. waiting our removal in the near future …
Have a nice Week-end
No worries combi89, we’re more than happy with every photograph you post on here

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.0
Nice Mercedes Titan Johnny.
Making Pete Smith a happy man there Johnny
Cheers for the info, I never knew what DSV meant…

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 trucksDanne

Cheers Dean, going back a few years I see with that brochure
They seem to be a key player when it comes to dollies, used for long loads, such a concrete beams or timber e.g.
There was an article in of the magazines (can’t remember which one, might have been Heavy Torque) last year, reporting that Collets bought a few of those dollies.

Some fantastic articles about old companies in Heavy Torque.

Depends on which engine it is Pete, but roughly it’s always around the 10t to 13t mark.
Aye, fork lift pockets for loading and offloading, I’m not sure about this particular engine stand, but most of them can tilt, in order to get the overal height down, so that they can be loaded on stepframes too.

Patrick, The hauliers that move those engines must have some serious insurance chap as was reading about the engine on the A380 and they
were around 25 million USD each for Rolls Royce Trent 900 engines. !!! Bearing in mind they have 4 thats some serious wedge.

Aye, they’re quite expensive, the XWB engines are costing up to $30-40 each… asked about our insurance policy regarding those engines, but never really got an answer…

Some of the larger companies carry there own insurance and its possible that R/R are insuring them in transit and charging the air line its going to,lots of ways to skin cat in the insurance game.
