British Heavy Haulage.

Having seen mentions of Sunters and Pickfords in recent posts reminds me that I would have loved to have been in Britain last century and seen the convoys they and the curiously named (to me anyway) Siddle C. Cook, and to a lesser degree Rotinof, used to move over dimension and over weight loads. Maybe Grandad and others can put up some pictures and information?

The books on Wynns makes for a good read. They started out with steam leading to a pinnacle using Scammell Contractors rated at 240 tons.

There used to be a show on tv about a heavy haulage company in the UK Eddie ???? and one of the owners also raced in the World Rally Championships. It wasn't badly done.

Kings was the HH show, Cobba.

Probably thinking of Eddie Stobart which had the contracts to move most rock bands. All their trucks had names, proper paint jobs and trainspotter type followers

Thank you mammoth, I remembered his name sometime in the middle of the night.
V8 I remember Heavy Haulage Australia if that is what you mean by HH, he was a fair dinkum wanker full of self importance.

Heeding my Mum's advice from years ago, Cobba, I'll not comment on Mr Kelly or HHA.
The Pommie heavy haulage, reality show was about a company called Kings, red and white jiggers. Not a bad show, if you could ignore the usual reality guff, that makes major dramas out of mundane hicoughs.

Bit hard to tell from the black and white photos, Swishy, but all those trucks seem to be battleship grey.

Great pictures of the Scammels, but what a brick laying job!
