might need a bit of new tarmac after that

Apparently they'm hoping to finish putting the black top back down over night tonight and re-open the road again tomorrow .... busy bit of road this ... glad I ain't using it ATM

JST port handling have a great way to move their gear, they hook a swan neck on the front of the machine and an axle bogie on the back and use the machine as the bed

Was sent this from depot manager at Redditch, was taken when it was taken out of Hillhead 2 years ago.

just noticed the front coupling .... would not want a head on with THAT ... wonder how that fares with plating ?? .... sharp edges, etc.

I think you’d be coming off in a bad way in a head on with that, front coupler or not!!!

you'd want to be a midget to get in there I reckon Mog .... could be on its side perhaps ?

Not low loader work but towed this thing 80 miles on a bar because it wouldn’t go up my ramps

Also didn’t think I had much of a chance getting my trailer down the lane
This is a picture through my windscreen of my truck towing the camper up the lane
