Here’s a shot of the unit showing the crane

Back in the 80’s Pontrilas Sawmills had a Foden unit with an overcab crane like that one.John Powell from Knighton drove it and loaded his artic and two others who ran with him,mainly out of Dovey Forest near Machynlleth back to Pontrilas,also sometimes hauling in Scotland all week and loading onto trans to Hereford Station and running the lorries back down loaded,then hauling from Hereford Station into Pontrilas.
Cheers Dave.
