Rigid decker

Anyone else see the rigid double decker on the m62 today think it was poundland , looks an odd bit of kit the driver looked terrified it was rocking about so much !!

Yes pal, i saw it on the M180 yesterday and i had to look twice :smiley: .You were right,the poor driver looked terrified and it sure was rocking! Has it come to a point now that companies are now trying to find any way they can to cram more payload on. Would like to know which manufacturer built the bodywork and how hard it was tested. It didnt look safe to me. :confused:

Seen one of them knocking about recently.

However, been seeing these SRCL rigids for a lot longer. Think they do clinical waste out of hospitals?

Think I’ve seen that or similar as a W&D

Don’t know about payload as I am sure it was only a six legger so surely pretty pointless I know we have one urban twin axled decker that hasnt made it over the weigh bridge yet and we ship similar product !!

I presume this outfit is what used to be Whiterose Environmental … think it was part of Yorkshire Water and used to do the hospital waste. Used to have DD wagon and drags, collecting those big wheelie-bins.

Any one got a pic of this new truck :wink:

Yes it was a poundland decker work just ordered 20, not been near one dont want to either lol.

Lad went out yesterday in 1 with 30 pallets on, not for me thank you lol

EI doubt that the driver was terrified. It’s just a tall rigid all said and done. To get worked up in said circumstances suggests maybe not the right aptitude for the job. K

Healthcare Environmental Group have one. I see this one in Glasgow quite regularly:

I seem to recall one like this hit the railway bridge next to the abattoir in Wishaw last year.

Oops posted too soon. If it’s too windy hopefully most planners would factor in bad winds <yeah! right!).

The SRCL motors carry yellow wheelie-bins of hospital waste on two decks. Used to get in each others way all the time when I drove for NHS. I think SRCL used to be called Cliniserve.

As for the Poundland motors, here is one of my own photos taken earlier this month.
I do hope the driver remembers how high he is.
