Long Departed Southampton Hauliers (Part 1)

Dispatcher, Re S24…26, im’e sorry i wouldnt have a clue wich one it was, i dont even know the differance betweenthe two, i think it would be after1998, when i saw it, that was one of my trips down “home” in Hampshire area, all i rememmber the driver certanly was’nt hanging about!!!

They look a bit of good kit, what weight would they carry?..T\08. Mick

Hi Mick
Heres a photo of HBM S26 80 tonner
Both LTR-OPX were originaly plated 100ton, but after consultation with Scammells they up rated to 150ton
HBM driven originaly by ■■■■ Lodge, then by Frank Halkyard,LTR by Alistair Brown,OPX by Keith Knight.
All were left handers.

Hi dispatcher Thank you for immfo re S26 type scammell, they had to be well after i left? Most certanly a good looking bit of kit, i dont recognise any drivers names.
It dosnt seem possible they was rated 150 ton? made ETN look tired!!

Can i ask why and when Hills stoped doing heavey work? many thanks for updates of the firm that started my life of driving, Mick
