Some pics of my old work and other stuff

Hiya mate, you’re allright?

Found the following pic’s on FB, maybe they look familiar to you? Apparently Spesial Transport was a Norwegian firm which was taken over by Econofreight, don’t know what happened to it when Econofreight went ■■■■ up, like or what happened to those lorries… However, they’re rather interesting, especially the day cabbed 10 wheeler, haven’t seen something like that before…

Cheers, Patrick

Hiya mate! Found the article! It says that when they got the 10whweeler they order one more instantly. And there biggest partner on the Big Jobs was econofright! This article was from 1987 and it says they had done alot of jobs in the M/E and also australia! And the moved 10 steemtrains from Rumania to china :smiley:
But still i dont know if they do some work today. I know there is a company called spesialtransport in Norway today but i dont think they are related. But i will call the guy who build our trailers and see if he knows someting :smiley:

Stumbled upon these Danne, might look familiar to you?

And found a pic of a Spesial wagon, don’t know if that’s the same firm as in the above posts though…?

Cheers, Patrick

Hi Patric! That 146 T-cab is fantastic! The 10wheeler Volvo i know had an Alison automatic gearbox,and if it hauled U137 to its final restingplace. You know the russian sub that hit land on south of Sweden early 80 somthing. That company is now Havator the finnish company.
But that Big norwegian MAN is something eh,me like to think its the same company as the old 10wheeler Volvo. But thats just m thinking…

Hiya mate,

Have to look that up I’m afraid, about that russian sub, doesn’t ring a bell :blush:

Wouldn’t have thought that that 10 wheeler was equiped with an Allison 'box…? Most interesting indeed :wink:
And my thoughts as well on that Norwegian MAN, name’s the same though…? Another search is on then I reckon :smiley:

Cheers, Patrick

Found an other pic of the norwegian 10wheeler. What a unit!

Cracking stuff there Danne! :sunglasses:

Found some pic’s on a dutch :question: forum about Spesial Transport, and that day cabbed 10 wheeler, but for some reason I can’t seem to post those pic’s on here…?
Just have a look yourself, if you’re interested that is, wesje.nl and use the search function.

Cheers, Patrick

Done some more digging, and found their website, spesialtransport.com, there’s a gallery section with the “newer” stuff on, but more interesting there are some grand pic’s of that 10 wheeler on as well amongst others.

Cheers, Patrick
