hello sammyoposite.
i can qualify what you said about those towable crushers,i moved lots of them when they were popular years ago.the amount of times i was sent to move one more often than not the thing was half buried / flat tyres/ susie connections damaged or even missing and when on the road there would be dust blowing everywhere.i cant really say i was sorry to see the back of those things.
regards graham.
Hi Graham I used to hate them as well as they never seemed road worthy and as you say you could never see behind you

Gross weight of this outfit is approximately 125 tonnes.hiya,
Dave do me a favour and ask the driver of this motor if i can have a little go, just for old times sake, “you know what i mean Harry”.
thanks harry long retiredHi Harry,
He is on these threads. Had a chat with him while he was waiting to park the outfit,he was good enough to ring me and tell me that he was coming up this way. That quarry is only 5 minutes away by vehicle from our place.
Cheers Dave.
Hi Dave, great pic’s once again. It is good to see you getting so much enjoyment out of this site which you work hard to maintain.
Meeting up with Graham at your local quarries must of been a blast. Lol couldn’t resist that one.
Fairplay to Graham too, what a cracking job he has.
Regards Paul

Hi legion,
If you have sold the dirt reflectors for Pauls Volvo’s you are possibly famous on this thread,because theirs plenty of his moters on here.
Cheers Dave.

I remember when the crushers were on a trailer chassis and if you did not have the brakes adjusted before you moved them you would have a very scarey journeyHi Johnnie,
I remeber Nash Rocks who had the quarry that the pics of Graham’s moter was taken.They had a mobile crusher called Goliath which they move from that quarry to another about four miles away,it weighed 80 ton as far as I know,they pulled it with a loading shovel with another pushing from behind. Once in place it was static,whereas the one on the lowloader is on tracks and is fed by a 360% machine and moved quite often.
Cheers Dave.
hi dave i can just about remember goliath, nash also had a trailer mounted crusher can remember it down rotherwas but it did come from kington, dot know why we hadit down there tho

Hi Matt,

Cheers Dave.
