Greetings Gates.
… Used to backload Massey-Ferguson from K.R.Joyce’s Poole in Dorset. Easy job ( pipe & slippers number ). Back onto ramp; supplier / yardman puts 3 on ; strap wheels ‘criss-cross’ fashion… collect delivery notes and away to go. Simples…
P.S. Like car transporters, watch out for overhanging obstacles as some of the supplier outlets are down country roads… ( goat tracks )
Have fun.

Don’t know the company mentioned.
Used to load Ford tractors out of Basildon, drive 'em on yourself, ropes criss crossed over the wheels in those days, doddle of a job, once up to speed 20 mins and you were away.
And remember your overall height will tend to vary from load to load even after a delivery if you have to shuffle equipment about, so that bridge you cleared on the way in, will you still clear it on the way out?! Its a good practice to carry a tape measure with you at all times
This is there web page sometimes known as Coxinental.
JA Cox are localish to me. They’ve been on the go at least as long as I’ve been driving - I remember seeing them on the docks in Hull loading up in the early 90’s. They’ve always had a very tidy looking fleet and its rare to ever see a dirty truck. I’ve also hardly ever seen any job adverts for them so that in itself speaks volumes.
I am maybe wrong here but I think they were around in the 70s as Coxinental they certainly go back a long time. Eddie.
Thanks for the reply’s
