I have always loved the look and sound of these old Maggie dumpers. They were very popular in the north west highlands, where I originate from. Has anyone got any more pictures or stories?
T. Graveson of Carnforth and Priory Plant of Whalley ran quite a lot of these they were powered by (iirc) the v8 air cooled engine,the ones these firms used were the 6 wheeled drive type,brilliant for moving muck etc on site but for road work they were limited to I think about 12 ton payload due to the high unladen weight.They always look busy as far as design goes and quite a reliable truck. 
Hi woodcutter, Wheelnut did a thread on here in 2007. just search for Magirus Deutz. Some pics etc on there of this model. regards, jack preston.
John Jones Excavations from Hazel Grove,Stockport had a fleet of them,silver and blue,pictures are on another thread on here,quite an old thread,good hunting.

Thanks for all the reply’s, would be great to see some more pics. Just dumpers though.
I think that Netherwater Plant had a Maggie dumper working in a Peak District quarry but alas I have no pics of it of course!

Stan used to run some on the road. One lad told me that he loaded wet bam sludge at Bamford on one with a scow end body. Stan told him to put some bales of straw on the scow end to stop the sludge coming out because there wasn’t a back door. The driver had to back all the way up Bradda dale to keep from losing any sludge !!! Just one of many of Stan’s good ideas.
