This could have been taken before spray suppression came in but anyway it is exempt because it is designed soley for timber carriage and does not have a load bed which could be used for carrying anything else. The trailer only would have been exempt and not the unit (after 01/04/1986)

Vehicle Types Exempt

works trucks and trailers;
broken down vehicles;
motor vehicles incapable of exceeding 30mph on the level when laden;
vehicles designed for carriage and mixing of concrete;
agricultural motor vehicles, agricultural trailers, agricultural trailed appliances and agricultural trailed appliance conveyors;
engineering plant;
fire engines;
vehicles constructed so lhat they can be unloaded by part being tipped sideways or rearwards (tractive units towing tipper semi-trailers are not covered by this exemption);
military vehicles;
vehicles with no bodywork proceeding to a body builder or vehicle dealer/distributor or being checked by a manufacturer or dealer/distributor;
street cleansing vehicles, cesspool and gulley emptiers and refuse vehicles including skip carrying vehicles, ejection trailers and walking floor trailers;
trailers constructed to carry timber beams or girders of exceptional length;
trailers imported for less than 12 months;
four wheel drive vehicles and other vehicles with drive capability on front and rear axles at the same time;

Hi Harry you’re getting a fussy old bugger, that load is fastened down fine and if they gave you a trailer with mudguards on it you would only knock them off

hiya,
Did enjoy the break, thanks Johnnie, could be right my friend mud supressants are designed for knocking off have shed a few over the years and did a spell on an eight legger which was running on 40x8s blew five of the things off on one trip alone four on the double drive one on the second steer i think the gaffer won them in a raffle,bet he did’nt make much out of that job, also a new seagull mudguard on the drive end and a new single one on the passenger side second steer did’nt make the delivery deadline that day, would normally have tipped and loaded same day and got part way back,sick as the proverbial chip.
thanks harry long retired.

This old girl was new to the Hollyhill Timber Co of Cinderford in the Forest of Dean so it must have spent a fair time hauling timber.

Comes from the right place for timber then,it would have been kept busy in the Forest of Dean.
