Done the same thing there mate! Not easily get sea sick, but I’m not too keen on those rough seas either… best thing to do, is just lay flat on the bunk and try to sleep trough it… as there wasn’t much else to do on board…
Well since everyone is postningen heavys,here is me with a “home” made crusher. To high have on the catepilarbands(is that the right word?) so i had to hang it on the chassi with the bands outside the trailer to get the hight down. But the belt coming out the back was fixed to high so i had to tilt the crusher backwords so alot of up and down and put in big wood things to get the hight right. Alot of sweat and hard work but alot of fun to And a mate of mine took the top part of the crusher,10wheeler FH600 with manual gearbox and a 5axl faymonville. What a tool,great outfit he got! i hope you get what im writing,kinda hard to get it right in english

This appeared further up the page. If I’m not mistaken, that is a pair of hub-reduction axles at the back of the tractor. Scania observers will note that there was no “official” 6x4 bonnetted 140. This, and the Swedish-registered one in Pat Kennett’s book, are the only two I have seen. I guessed that the other one was a factory prototype LT145, but this one, on Dutch plates- could it be the result of some creativity in Zwolle? Maybe they were made as a matter of course, for people who insisted? It would not have been beyond the wit of the factory- all the bits were available. On the other hand, I wonder why an LT140 did not appear in the list from the start?(Apologies for polluting our departed mate’s Black Country/France thread with Swedish esoterica.)

Did some searching, but couldn’t find any info about that particular bonneted 140, coudn’t it be a “rebadged” 145…?
Found some other pic’s of Getron, some going back right to the start of things…
Nah. Why would they want to make their new wagon look like last year’s model? After all, there is a 145 further down the list. Oddly enough, that one appears to be a 6x2! It can’t be, unless some badge-engineering was going on in the other direction! Maybe it just has the ordinary single-reduction axles which, in itself, would be unusual- I thought 145s were exclusively hub reduction?
I reckon LT140s were built to order, but Scania did not like them! Pat Kennett’s book might show one inside but, on the cover, there is an LS140, just to prove the point! I think they were of the opinion that a “heavy” 6x2 was the best choice- with the axle lifted, there is about 10% more load over the drive axle than would be shared between both (allowing for the kingpin to be about a foot behind the first axle), plus the vehicle is more maneouvrable than an effectively longer-wheelbase 6x4. Of course, this all turns to mud when the ground is soft but, in Scandinavia, it is more often hard and slippy!
Further down the page, there is another of those chopped-and-slammed R144s. I love the Dutch vehicle industry- they do things differently, but it is not bodgery, as you would imagine it would be in GB. Thanks for posting the pictures.
Thanks for the pictures Patrick. You sure get around!!

Forgot about that one Pete 
Same wagon posted on the v.d. Vlist thread by Richard aka Scud some time ago…

That does raise some questions indeed, however, I’m not an expert when Scania is involved, maybe some of the other lads on here knows a bit more about it…?
Will ask a mate of mine about it though, he’s a keen professor on such matters 
Funny that you’ve mentioned the “finer” art of the Dutch industry, that’s the main reason why I’m chuffed about the English industry, all a bit more “rough” shall we say…

Well since everyone is postningen heavys,here is me with a “home” made crusher. To high have on the catepilarbands(is that the right word?) so i had to hang it on the chassi with the bands outside the trailer to get the hight down. But the belt coming out the back was fixed to high so i had to tilt the crusher backwords so alot of up and down and put in big wood things to get the hight right. Alot of sweat and hard work but alot of fun toDanne
I think “tracks” is the word you’re looking for mate Quite a machine, what was the weight of it? Not really an hours work to get that sorted I reckon…
How’s that Faymonville of your mate coping? Always thought that they were nice trailers to work with, but they seem to loose their strength after a while…

Back to some more HH for Patrick,in the last pic how does that out fit turn, the jib is on the bolster at rear of cab and crane is on a drawbar trailer?
Aye, that’s a drawbar trailer Pete, don’t know how they swing that about though…
Found some more from that firm, some dating back from the very start…
All that effort to chop the cab, just to lower one end of the boom of the crane by about a foot!

Ah thanks for that mate! Yeah its a hard work when we have to “hang” them on the chassi but it is just part of the work eh… It took about an 1,5h from when i got there to when i left. They said about 60000kg but it feelt alot heavyer but it al as you know how the weight is on the trailer v/s unit.
Well i really like the faymonville alot we had 2 at my old work,they were from 02 and 04 and the new owners still use them. Maby not like we used to but still what a great set if trailers. And as for my mate there he dont wont nothing els.
But they are heavy,his is almost 10000kg more than mine VANG…

Quite fast loading there then, I’ve loaded a Liebherr same manner once before, took me some 2h I reckon…
I’ve only used those Faymonville’s with a small bed for combine transport, found them quite simple to use, but to be honest, I’d rather prefer a Nooteboom. Just a matter of what you’re used to I reckon…
But to be honest, they are much lighter then a similar Nooteboom, wouldn’t have thought that there was 10t difference between that Faymonville and Vang though…
This is the latest to come out of the Nooteboom workshop, the new pendle axles, with better manoeuvrability…

I like the look of the trailer in the middle picture Pete, especially the way the wheels hinge out of the way. looks a lot easier than jacking and physically dragging the wheel sets out. Does it also extend?. Very smart outfit. Cheers, Colin.
