Here’s a couple of old tippers. Courtesy of the NMW website.Hi Dave , British Quarrying did they not have a site on Clee Hill , ? The one has a Shropshire reg , i can remember them later having Leyland Comet artics . regards Keith .
Possibly Keith. I remember it being owned by Clee Hill, the same as the plant hire company in the late 1960’s I think. Only loaded out of there once.
Pursy would be the bloke to answer this question.
Cheers Dave.

Don’t know if this is the same Burgoynes that just packed in with the artics but I took it at Hay on Wye
so it is the right area.
Not the same firm David, but were related, they ran a Commercial dealership and repair business at Eardisley. They were agents for Daihatsu and Jeep, which they sold hundreds of.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
I wonder what the fuel consumption is like when Graham’s motor is
working fully laden I certainly wouldn’t like to pay for it out of my
meagre pocket money, but WOW what a machine.
thanks harry, long retired.

Graham might come on and tell us Harry, he’s usually running at high weights, but with all the gearing, its probably not as horrendous as we think.
Cheers Dave.

Hello H and Dave.
The mpg can get really serious when pulling with a lump on , normal running at 54 ton unladen it is normally around 4.5mpg but the climb over baverstocks at 150 ton will put it down to 0.2 mpg.As with any truck at that weight there would’nt be a lot between none of them , They would all have a bit of a thirst on.

Fuel per ton ratio Graham, that is quite good. A 44 ton artic which is less than a third of the weight of yours would have a higher fuel per ton ratio.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Thanks for the info Graham, what sort of fuel carrying capacity do you have ■■,
it’s not as though you can just nip into a filling station with the lumps you can
carry I suppose you’ll need enough for a round trip there won’t be many filling
stations that can accommodate you even when travelling empty maybe the odd
motorway services could squeeze you in I reckon, but only when empty.
thanks harry, long retired.
