Thanks Fred :thumbup: I think you'd need a massive counterweight for a crane that size they looked far too big to be safe mounted on a small chassis like that, looks like the whole thing would be easy to tip over even with the outriggers extended?

The second photo down looks like an Atkinson Leader twin steer tractor unit pulling the RB on the low-loader. :think:

Some cracking pic's once again Steve, cheers ;)

Any idea of what make the trailer is featured in the 2nd pic? Doesn't look like a King or Tasker does it?

Cheers, Patrick

Looking at the lowloader photos, surely some of the 4x2 units must have been overloaded on the drive axle?
Also, is it me or is there a severe lack of anything obvious holding some of these dozers onto the wagon? :shock:
If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.
