Gravelle Plant.
Some photos taken when I was down at Gravelle Plant stripping top soil at Derby on the A50. A very well maintained fleet of scrapers and dozers.

Re: Gravelle Plant.
One thing I've been wondering since I came on this site...with the steel shields over the radiator fronts, how do these Terex units get air to the radiator? Quite a bit different than the same model sold here in the US.
Are they ducted somehow?
Trying to learn something new....thanks!

Alan, it is to cut down dust been sucked in to the RAD, the air is sucked in from the side.

Re: Gravelle Plant.
Sorry Martyn no go.
Fantastic machines but too labour intensive for me not to mention the parts bills and engine oil and hydraulic oil bills!!

Re: Gravelle Plant.
My old boy bought these scrapers and had to 'cut out' the fronts to keep cool in the hard going. They are (b10s) and are heavier than the older (b9s) which are better machines altogether! These scrapers are en-route to Africa!
