It’s a shame some of their drivers are such a PITA. Nice looking motor though

What’s wrong with them then? Seen some of their lorries around Oxford this week, FMXs’ with alloy bodies. Not a common thing to see alloy bodies on muckshifting tippers, but if you only keep them for a few years then it shouldn’t be a problem.
I like the cab of the Iveco 8wheelers, nice and no frills.

‘Worn out’ ally bodies sell quite well for scrap.

Back in the 1980s the muckshifters used to buy used tippers, scrap the ally bodies and put new steel ones on.

I can remember firms doing that. It must be a false economy nowadats as I haven’t seen it done around here for a long time.
There is a Hanson-blue ERF EC 8wheeler in the London area with a replacement muckaway body on though.

I wonder if you can put your feet up on the dashboard f the Trakker, with your boots on and not get painful ankles? The curved bit above the radio on a MAN TGS digs in and makes it hard to sleep.
The engine hump needs to be a smooth surface too. I struggle to clean away my footprints…

I was loading out of a Clancy Docwra depot today and had a look in a 13 plate Trakker. Basic but looks alright for tipper work.
