Interesting batch of photographs with one thing in common, pulling power was provided by a Unic.
Blimey Patrick, is that shoebox bottomless? 
Nice pictures though.

I once gave a driver with trade plates a lift from Glasgow back down south. He was a delivery driver and he told me that he would pick up trucks at Hull and stick the ERF badges on it. Probably something to do with being able to say “assembled in the UK”.
Probably more to do with MAN wanting it to look like a new MAN as it transited Europe, so bung the badge on when it went ashore at Hull.
Maybe, just found it interesting. On a similar theme I was told years ago of a company in Scotland who made pizza’s and sent them over to Italy. They were boxed and then brought back to the UK a week later. Apparently, under EU law, they could now sell them as “imported from Italy”. I don’t know how many pizza’s you can get in a 40’ trailer but if you add £1 to the price you would be more than covering your costs (and some).
Just trying to keep it interesting mate 
Not your normal pusher setup.

Load spreading on a bridge, steady as she goes not without some tension.

That’s in the North-East, about 3 hours away from where I live Oily, I’m quite tempted to have a look, as it’s 5 transports in total I believe.
On a side note, it’s interesting to see that they’re using Collett’s girder frame for this gig.

You go into the office to see what on and the boss hands you your notes and says ‘just an easy little local run for you today, you’ll be home for dinner tonight’.

That’s interesting Oily. We wouldn’t get away with that here. It’s out of gauge loading, as an indivisible load we could get an overweight permit, but that only allows one article. The wheels would have to go on a separate truck. We could get away with leaving the wheels on the machine, if possible.

That is covered in Section 1.5 here. Special types enforcement guide - GOV.UK
Basically sticking some smaller bits onto a vehicle, for the same place, but not making it bigger or pushing it into a higher category is OK.
Taking the blade off a dozer and sticking it on the back is better than leaving it attached, and cheaper than running two vehicles.
I am fairly sure that is a change (1990’s?) from earlier rules that had an absolute ban on more than one piece being on an oversize vehicle.
