I have been going back through our archives (Beck & Pollitzer Engineering) and have come across these photo's.

Do not have much information on them, so any further greatly appreciated.

Will post more when I come across them.

Regards

Simon

Hi Simon,
I worked for Beck's in the mid 60's first at Hercules Road Lambeth and then at Burnham Road Dartford, this was after Mr Joe and Mr George (Pollitzer) had sold out to the Transport Development Group. Have got a few crane pictures that I will scan but in the meanwhile these may be of interest.

Was going through some old photos looking fore something that I have not yet found but came across this pic!
Taken somewhere by the Trent and Mersey canal in the mid 70s. Sure that someone will know the make of the crawler crane?

Hello Angus
Interesting photo, Thanks for posting.
The crane is a Priestman, I think it;s a Bison BC80 36 tonner.
