âboardo96â ECC Quarries. Heres a few motors we have had on before.thanks for the pics and the write up on the clay works, was interesting read.
Donât remember the A series on the road but do remember seeing the ones off the road in the lorry park at Rockbeare, remember there was an F7 6 wheeler just like this one based there in the later years, previously there were some AECâs, Routmans, Reivers, B seriesâs, mainly tippers apart from 1 Routman had a crane behind the cab, 2 of the Bâs where 8 wheel cranes and there was 2 artic Bâs pulling either a flat, tipper, crane or for some time they were on dry sand tanks working out of Warmwell. Remember seeing the 8 wheel F7s at Hillhead and Westleigh, as for the F10 I seem to remember there was one like this at Callow Rock, I think Iâm right in saying AnL Transport bought one like it from the quarryâs and ran it for several years. Cheers Nigel8

Thanks for the post Chris,very intresting and appreciate you posting it.
Youâre welcome!

Hi Chris, re. 32ton on 4 axles. I recall that my first Borderer and 40ft York SL in August '71 was only able to run at 30 ton GVW but from here on my brain cell is a bit hazy but the best I can say is it was during 1972 when the weights altered and I believe that the axle spacing on a tandem bogie increased the axle weights from 9:25 to 9:5 ( or was it 9ton to 9:25 ?) if my memory serves me correctly. I can recall a âweighbridge incidenceâ at Rickmansworth when one of our artics ,fully freighted, just scraped in on the new bogie weights otherwise we would have got done ! I had loaded this new York trailer for Bracknell with 20 ton of paper then the Mill said could I put another two ton on for Uxbridge ! I left a note on the Atky bonnet quipping that âI hoped those B-------- werenât weighing at Rickyâ !!! Doh! but phew !!! the new regs on this trailer saved us !! Cheers Dennis.
1972 does ring a bell, Denis, but I canât remember if thatâs right or not. In these days of standardisation, where most things will couple to other things with highly standardised dimensions (dare I say EU regs?? 
), many wouldnât know now, about how there used to be such variations in equipment, in terms of pin position, landing leg location, fifth wheel position, swing clearances etc., not to mention restrictive legislation. For most purposes now, most semi-trailers have had a 1.6m kingpin position for the best part of 30 years. As I recall, we had our first at Bowker in 1988/9 (although we couldnât go to 13.6m trailers until about 1990) and then found that we needed LWB tractors for MOT and workshop shunting as time-expired fleet motors werenât long enough.
PS well done for scraping through Rickmansworth
Overall length was a big thing, with the Ministry man out with his tape measure - I remember this even in the late 70s when Pandoroâs 300 Series tractors were about 2" over length with a Ferrymasters trailer, or something like that. In the late 60s, youâ'll remember having trailers with a neck so short that youâd have the turntable well back on the tractor and consequently over length, whereas positioning it âcorrectlyâ would lead you to have the back of the tractor chassis fouling the landing legs
DEANB:
Thanks for the reply Chris,i should have had a look through the archives chap !
I didnât like to say
Thanks for the article though - I hadnât read that one. I tend not to bother with that mag as their level of editorial knowledge is pretty dismal.
It was a one-time editor who came to do a feature on our Borderer, and asked how long it would take to tilt the cab so that he could photograph the engine⌠
I wasnât there that day, but I understand that the answer he was given was something like, âabout three ******* weeks, mateâ
Chris Webb:
[Morning Chris.
A E Evans ran a âDâ reg Mandator artic at 32t gross in 1969,I took it over when other driver left.To achieve the axle spread the tank had like a swan neck type design with axles right ont arse end.It was a pain to get in some places.I have no photo of it but the attached photo shows another one they ran with axles on back end,it was based in Barking depot and I was told it also ran at 32t gross although it doesnât look like the spread is as great as on mineâŚthey also cut down two MK5 8-leggers and ran them as 3 axled units for 32t on 5 axles in 1969.Photo shows one in Sheffield.
Hello Chris, youâre exactly on the same lines!
DEANB:
Intresting comments Dennis, never thought about the tax implicaions until you menioned it.
Actually, I think that was me
But of course, Dennis would be very interested in tax! As far as Iâm aware, though, Bewick didnât have any 5-axled 32T outfits?
