Another couple, being long ago left transporters, tell me what make of trailer is this.
oilyIt’s a Transporter Engineering duck and diver, but the middle deck has been altered. I’m sure Ken will put us right on this one
Yeah ■■■■■■ Engineering, the peak was lowered hence the smaller clearance over the unit, a couple of dealers were either off limits or tip outside thanks to that (one in Mansfield was a major pain in the arse thanks to that little tweak), the middle deck was played with, chopped behind the fifth wheel and had short rams fitted so it could be moved up and down for loading vans. Pic will be 2005-6, taken at Gefco, Corby and Corby truckstop.
Trailer was modded again a few months later when the middle deck was cut and shaped in a shallow “v”, the regular driver reckoned it added an extra couple of inches headroom needed to stick vans on the middle deck but if you wanted to put a Picasso on after the last tweak you were stuffed.
Hi Gouls,
I have sent you an e-mail.
Cheers Oily
I was the holiday relief man on C&C for a while, covered the whole of the UK depot network and used everything they had at one time or another, I liked the variety, maybe a month at Swindon then a week at Sheerness, two weeks at Doncaster etc. The biggest drag was moving “house” everytime someone went on holiday, wet gear, tommy bars, clean kit, all the junk admin stuff Gefco asked for and what felt like constant refreshers at Honda. Best job going had to be the ferry job at Doncaster as they couldn’t alter my car bonus, if you really got the hammer down and worked the max hours it could be 130 cars a day and a bad back picking the wallet up on a Friday.
All that dust, Gawd knows what state the cars would be in by the time he delivered them!

looks positively modern compared to the kit in the pic on the following link, another version of the double width chinese carriers, love the chain driven decks, has to help the old mpg along a bit I would think
Hello Terry, was the Scania ex Cartransport BRS, if so do you remember the Reg No?
Really sorry I can’t recall the reg. I only had it for a couple of months as my Mercedes for Carline had gone pop. Carline borrowed it from Andy “Eurofleet” Murphy and he had bought a load of transporters in this colour from a car dealer, that I think had gone under. Something like NCT over near Birmingham on the A5 maybe. I’m not sure why the colours were the same as the PVDS trucks. I believe that it was originally built for BRS as that was what I was told at the time by an ex Hoynor man.
Let me know if you know better. I have three pictures of the dam thing and no reg!!!
Bore you with a few more
