Some more from the Sarens shoe box
What a fine shoebox you have there Patrick. Sarens, the Belgian company, have been around even longer than Cadzow and expanded into other countries. https://www.sarens.com/

A great picture Lawrence Dunbar. Cheers Dennis Javelin for the additional information.

Not “Heavy Haulage” in the road sense but this might be of interest.youtube.com/watch?v=4BzoTcV7S1U
I assume that the Sarens trailers were there from day one.
Dennis the hull sections would have been built on a network of raised plinths, then when the movement is due the trailers are then driven under and raised and then moved, Same principal used at any of the offshore fabrication yards over the years. There was a specialist lifting gear company from where im from near Middlesbrough called John Gibson lifting , they had a nice Scania and a fitted out trailer and would using lifting jacks around under the modules to calculate the weight for loadout and so ballasting of the loadout barges could be trimmed correctly.
Excellent jshepguis. How is life in treating you?

Looks like a Volvo F88 cab
Just been to Sherwood Forest with the Grandkids & on way up last Friday morning we passed one of Mike Ponsoby’s STGO Scania’s on the M42 travelling south, and today on way home passed a Scania 6 Wheeler rigid on A42, and funnily enough as we passed the Heanor area this morning i said to my wife that there was an old heavy haulage Co. from that area and that i hadn’t seen any of their vehicles around for a long time (unsure if they are still going?) , and long an behold on logging in here for my fix this evening there is a photo of Heanor Haulage unit!

Sadly they tell me they packed up with HH a long time ago.

Isn’t this the unit that G.C.S. Johnson of Barton near Scotch Corner has as a show truck-the reg. seems familar.

If they did it might have been in the original form, I think Searson (or whatever his name was 
) specialised in putting F88/89 cabs on Contractors.
Tom Llewellyn at Econofreight had similar ideas, once when my DAF was in for guarantie service up in their yard at Thornaby, they ‘put me up’, not in a local B&B, but in the converted sleeper cab of a Leyland Redline perched on a Scammel Contractor.

One for Spardo I know how much he preferred the B model to the Oskosh. NMPDig
Yes, thank you, something like comparing a summer house to a garden shed. Both have their place in the world, but one gives a little more comfort. 
Not many Lads in the UK aged 18 will be sat behind the wheel of a similar outfit such as this today ! 
Took no less than 4 hours to get those last 2 pictures on my screen, what is going on here, is it me? I don’t think so because others have complained and I have no problems elsewhere. . Does anyone know?
Anyway, well worth it in the end, and a question for Bewick, has the law changed in England then, when I was a lad you had to be 21 to drive an HGV, never mind one of those?
