G’day all, I think that’s an ex- McBurney Daf XF, they were from somewhere around Oxford, I can’t remember where exactly- always looked very tidy.

Cheers, Keith

I used to drive a rollonoff Dan and often wondered how they picked up something on wheels, so do they move at all?

Don’t know how I put that on Deans thread ,no not an inch if you strap in the right place ,I’am not in favour of strapping wheels like the good book says as then it’s only as good as the handbrake is and at 45 degrees it’s a test I don’t won’t to be trying

We only had one flatbed but in truth we didn’t use it much and when we did it was usually loaded whilst on the chassis anyway. Was interested as we used to pick containers of filter cake up out of pontypool, if it was to wet it would slide when you picked the container up, I had one that slid and bowed the back door on the container which I couldn’t then bring back loaded as there was a big gap at the bottom of the container door in the middle.

Hi Dean,
I’ve been meaning to post for days,though been busy at work.This DAF was being driven by an old friend of mine,Ian Boon,an ex Mcburnie chipped to 640hp XF.They couldn’t stop it eating gear boxes.Though when it was running,it did go really well…
Regards Andrew.

Where i worked we had the one flatbed rolonoff body, used regularly for moving stackable concrete beams off sites, but came into its own when recovering the odd broken down or accident damaged tractor unit, saved £thousands on professional recovery.

Hello Dean,…many thanks for D Austin Jones Atki …they actually bought out Fred Jones for various contracts such as timber out of Swansea docks and tinplate …Austin Jones were based at Llanmorlais on the Gower …they had around 30 Atkis the main work was out of 3Ms Gorseinon…and also Signode .
They were first established as agricultural merchants …and finished in the mid 1980s …that Atki was magic Dean …many thanks again …lol …Geraint

Reckon you have been over doing it Dan,never known you be so busy.

Never driven a roll on roll off truck “Kempston” but how stable are they ? When you look at some of them they are fairly high ?
