Nice found mate! Wasn't aware that ERF build dumpers as well, only ones I know about are the ones Foden produced...
Cheers, Patrick

the top Picture looks like the Titan and thats Dales trailer and dolly behind known a ""Big George" and was the biggest low loader in NZ when built
A few photos down you can see Big George again with a drag line on the back that was working in the coal mines in the north island
A couple of Federals there looks like one has got anew cab along the way
The big Scamell in the last photo is Dales as well
Thanks for sharing the pictures Patrick

From a book by Nick Baldwin comes this info -
First ERF dumptruck was model 54G in 1958 (the first production truck with disc front brakes, which soon gave way to drums).
5LW powered, half cab, 7 cu yd body. Also offered with 6LW (model 64G).
Developed through 60s and 70s - last model was TJC180, 18 tons gvw with Cummins 240hp and full width cab (possibly those two pictured earlier?).

edit: MEDCON is a construction company operating from 1952 in Cyprus - who knows, maybe those old ERFs are still there!
