Thanks for the information! I know that in Holland, rigid trucks can have as many as 5 or even 6 axles, and that there are conversion specialists over there; so, nothing surprising!

Found a 1959 folder on Foden two-strokes with at the back of it quite some nice information on who were in charge:
dealers, agents, representatives

Many Berliet scale models indeed on that Dutch auction website, but on can find the same at similar prices on e-Bay or even Le Bon Coin.

Most interesting indeed! Just a pity the resolution is so poor that one can’t read a word of it! Couldn’t it be possible to have better pics? Thanks!

Nice to see the name A Hassell on the sales list. Arthur Hassell lived on Windmill Lane, Ashbourne, and took a few of us from Tilcons Ballidon Quarry on a factory tour one evening in 1975 or 76. When Fodens closed down he went dumper driving at Ballidon and was a keen keep fit enthusiast who ran around the quarry at lunchtimes. He was also a keen cyclist and was sadly run over by a bus in the Potteries and killed.

Pete.

Isn’t this trailer a bit heavy for the TK?

I remember seeing americain style trailers in the Agfa Gevaert factories in Antwerp and Wilrijk during the late seventies and up to late eighties.
Maybe they had Van Hool doing the maintenance of their us trailers ?

Those tractors had a GVW-range from 14-22 tonnes

Perhaps Van Hool did some adjustments to the US-trailers in terms of brakes, couplings, springs…

www.greatdane.com/history tells us that in 1966 Great Dane co-operated with Van Hool to serve the European market
