The second photo down, the Scammell with the Drotts on the back, the haulage contractor is J Hayward of Walsall quite local to me, when I first worked on the trucks, they operated a Seddon Atkinson 400 with a 240 Gardner engine which was obtained from the Ryland Vehicle Group where I worked.

2nd photo. Cripps were a big plant dealer.
3 Drotts quite a load for a 1960s Handyman, around 21 tons ?

A few heavy haulage from this week; delivered to my current employer, the bases for two brand new forging hammers, one weighing in at 60 tonnes, the larger at 86 tonnes, a fantastic piece of kit to lift them off and stand them upright as well.
