"Heavy Haulage through the years"

Just the one, Buzzer

Some earth moving equipment on the move north in West OZ.

Not exactly Heavy Haul but the new ship launching not a method you see very often.

Was this the one that had the “customized” F12 cab fitted later on?

Nice one Buzzer

One or two wheels…

If it is 4 per axel, and 22 axels - that is 88 wheels on the trailer… :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: A tad different to the usual 6 super singles on the average 40 tonne trailer.

Makes me tired just looking at them Johnny.

Hers something else a bit different, me unloading some new ore cars at BHPs iron ore shipping port at Port Hedland.
These units were constructed with Stainless Steel apparently allowed the design to still be as structurally strong with another 12 tonnes added to the payload.

Well the cabs alright Dig, one of my favourites though without the sleeper, I would have loved that, but that bonnet transforms it, do you know what was inside? Mine had a 205 ■■■■■■■ and Foden 12 speed, a truly excellent combination. Managed to find exactly the right gear to start off with an empty trailer on a snow covered hill. :laughing:

Looking at it again, those mudguards look a bit like a Rotinoff. :bulb:

I wouldn’t expect you to know Denzil being a ‘General Haulage man ‘ rather than a specialist :laughing: but for certain sizes only Michelin or cheap crap are available, :wink:

So if the tyres aren’t Michelin then how many different makes of crap are there to choose from ? My new car has OE Hankook but the previous one was on Michelin Energy ! So should I run in to my local tyre suppliers and see if he will do a swap of the Hankook for Michelin ? what should I offer for the change ----£5 a wheel maybe ? I’ve only done about 25 miles on the Hankooks . You’ve spoiled my tea Dan’l as I don’t like running on crap tyres , never have, but it dosen’t seem to bother you eh! :blush: :blush: :cry: :confused: :confused: Denzil.
