Thank you very much Oily it did indeed belong to Newt Livingstone of 3LLLs transport Broome,the 3LLLS stands for Leyland Livingstone and Lucas[Newts partner] and they first started with a Leyland Buffalo.
I thought the yards were Chestnut yds on Christmas Creek but now you have said Louisa I know your right,the station had changed hands by the time I went there in 72 so I never met the people mentioned.
The old Fitzroy low level crossing was an accident waiting to happen if you didn’t have pace you couldn’t get up the cutting on the town side we called it “Flying the Fitzroy” and it finally did in 1973 when a Northern territory truck rolled on top of a tourist vehicle and the tourist was killed,the driver of the truck was acquitted as the tourist was parked on the crossing taking photos and the truck driver had tried to put the truck into the river to miss them.Work on a proper bridge started the following year.
I have sent a copy of this photo to one of the drivers of the Hayes who I met and became firm friends with in 1972when i persuaded him to come and work for us.
I took a print off a movie clip I made its not the best but gives you an idea what it was like of the old crossing when I was up that way a couple of years ago its from the top of the cutting on the Fitzroy town side of the river and it would have been the side he rolled back on as the trucks were always loaded heading west.Cheers Dig
Fascinating insights Oily and DIG. Thanks for sharing them.

Wasn’t or maybe still is, Hayes a Canadian manufacturer of heavy lorries?
Patrick
Hayes was a heavy truck Canadian manufacturer and were taken over by the Paccar group [KW],the cattle truck and one other a bonneted truck were the only 2 to be imported into Western Aus that I know of, I really don’t know if any found there way to our eastern states and knowing a little about the cab over unit I recall the drivers telling me it was a dream to drive on rough roads etc it was powered by a V871 series Detroit 2 stroke with a 15 speed R/R.later in life the chassis was shortened to a prime mover length and I remember Newt showing me the discarded chassis beams and he said its still like brand new even after 15 plus years or so carting cattle each year then the crates removed and being used in the fuel and oil exploration industries.Apparently when they went to drill the chassis after moving the drive axles and suspension forward they had enormous difficulty finding drill bits good enough to do the job so all the holes were drilled undersize and reemered to the correct bolt size.
The bonneted unit prime mover belonged to a Perth Company called Rudolpho’s Transport there is a truck net member who worked for this company,they operated mainly Macks,I.m afraid thats all I know about that unit.
Cheers Dig

Hi DIG, this Albion lowloader was bought new in 1951 by Les Schubert, Philips dad.To quote "Dad used this loader to transport the surplus Boilers from Collie synthetic petrol plant at the end of the war to the new Cheynes Beach Wahling Station in Albany.
It was a very difficult task, and the truck was followed by another with a bulldozer on board which was off loaded to help the semi up some of the steeper and sandier hills out on the way out to the station through the now Tondirup National Park."
You may be familiar with the place names, he had other Albions which I will post on Past and Present.
Oily
That Albion and float would be a eye-catcher today Oily and that trip to from Collie to Cheyennes Beach would have tested machinery of today on yesterdays roads and tracks and its still a pretty hilly and winding road,I was at the old Whaling station only a 6weeks ago with DPB its very much a tourist thing these days but plenty of memorabilia of the whaling days ,it closed down about 1970 due to public pressure of the day.
Cheers Dig

I would imagine that one is used around the Great Lakes as they have some serious weight limits there
with loads of multi axle trucks. I imagine Chris Arbon may know more about them.Hi Dean and Johnny, pretty sure it is an asphalt trailer, posted a vid way back of one feeding a road laying machine.

Found might even be the same truck or company youtube.com/watch?v=QTg3ZbJ413w

Hi Johnny,
I thought you knew Patricks saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me”!I have said it before chaps that Patrick “Is one crazy mixed up kid”
Now Johnny i think i am right in saying that the whipper snapper has had a few digs at me lately for
putting the same articles on twice !!!
all of those pics have been on before !Nope, wrong again Dean… no worries, I’ve already gave the mental institution a ring, they’re gonna pick ya up first thing tomorrow morning!
I did posted some pic’s before… BUT… on another thread, not everyone is visiting that pub…er…thread…
Are you sure ■■? They have told me i can have the padded cell next to you !
Hayes trucks as Dig says were taken over by Paccar group. They had a legendary reputation for building
rugged,reliable trucks and were particularly used in the logging industry. I read that part of the reason
they ended up selling up was the fact that there trucks were so reliable and tough that they basically
outlasted any other truck. Therefore because they lasted so long it actually back fired on Hayes as they
could not sell enough new ones.

I thought i was right about the trailer probably being used around the Great lakes chaps. If you check the
comments on that u tube video Michigan is mentioned. They have always had multi axle trucks with higher
weight limits there.They have some cracking looking motors.

I can only think that those in charge of the regulatory bodies have a vested interest in the tyre industry . Hell , if you got a puncture you’d need a map to find it. Dave

6 tonnes only per single axle! I now understand the purposes of these centipedes! That probably means roads in Michihan are very lightly built; here, in France, the max on one single axle is 13 tonnes.
