Nice professionel work! Please give some explanation on the Volvo ...number of gears and how you change from hi to low gear. Horsepower and torque. Thanks for your effort to show your work from the Netherlands (beiing proud of your Nooteboom trailer😄😄😄💪) and of course i subscribed!
Love the upgrade to the Mercedes camper. That 2.4. Naturally aspirated is lethally slow. Excellent ,was always hard to understand. Why they put it in in the 1st place. Mick London
Gday Mate Who was the rocket scientist that put a pedestrian crossing so close to a roundabout ? I was wondering why you stopped until I saw the crossing. I could not understand a word that Larry said 🤣😂😂🤣 Hope your Nanna enjoyed her birthday party and Take Care
Hello Richard really enjoying your videos yes would like to see your collection of old vehicles how about the history of hollingsworth i love looking at books on classic heavy haulage can't wait to see more, roy copenhagen denmark 🇩🇰
Another great film Richard I went past the Bridge Builders that featured in your last film this afternoon and you’re right it is a lot smaller in real life… Keep up the content, I especially like the site moves, thanks 🙏
Hi Richard I think all your videos are brilliant and very very informative, I don’t suppose you can tell me how to get in to heavy haulage I’ve been doing general haulage for 25 years and I’ve always wanted to get in to out of guage stuff many thanks in advance Ian
Hi Ian, thank you very much for watching and commenting. Unfortunately it's difficult for me to advise the best way for you, however if it's something you really want to do you need.to start by ringing round, Try find someone who is willing to take a chance on you. It's easier now than it's ever been because not a lot of people want to actually graft these days. Cheers
Hello. How do you get rear wheels to turn ? Open the valves to allow the axles to work , and it’s a case of they turn for them selves or do you have to control them. ?? 😊. As for putting camera on trailer , that was very good Although caution is needed from you. Say hi to Nanna for us and Happy Birthday to her. 🎂 Wish You Well
Richard, thanks for the ride, glad I’ve caught your channel, very enjoyable, greetings from South Florida. P.S. driving down here we have more than our share of crazy drivers, I put on my car “Caution! I Drive Like You!”
Hi Richard great video! Yes , included the ERF and the van etc. Can you show more if how your driving the Volvo and ERF ( both being manual) please… most interested…..
Hi Richard, I just started as a crane operator and for now I run a medium/large loader crane on a mercedes lorry. And im wondering, why did you quit cranedriving? you mentioned the lifestile but how is it different now from before? more or less hours? more or less at home? Also sure lets see the hobby stuff
Hugely expensive way of doing things, but every item in that yard will have a huge pricetag, and a lead time of several months, they are built to be installed and left for decades, critical infrastructure comes at a price, made in britain.
@@truckatadders Hi in the UK our axle weighs are higher than most places in the world, which means small cranes run around with all the ballast on the crane. Bigger cranes carry a small amount off ballast the rest comes on other trucks. The crane can load its own ballast by lifting it on to the deck of the crane the slewing round to pick it up.
about 30 years ago i rented a merc van from merc dealer i cudnt get over 45 up corley bank took it back and laffed at the sales bloke when he asked if i fancyed buying some more ,dangerous is the right word for them
you europeans with your self steering trailers!! cheating!! but very nice! im rather surprised they dont have an SPMT system with with hydraulic rams to just pickup the loads
I love your trailer, keep it safe and take care.
@@ANDREASRIAL Thank you. 👍👍
That’s me in the Plantforce Volvo 👋
Police escort on the Sunday into Leeds

Looking well 👍👍👍

Those steer tires on the trailer are so nice !!!! Thanks for taking us along on your trip !!
@@RNP69 They are really nice 👍 Not a problem. Thank you for your comment

Lovely old engines but definitely too under powered for a van of that weight.

Love the videos. Keep it up. I have an ec11 and a foden. Great old gear over here in eire on the wild Atlantic way.
Looking at all the tyres on the trailer makes me wonder how you check all the pressures, it must be take a while.
Old Skool vehicles too, especially the ERF 👍🏼
@@johnc621 The ERF will be coming soon on the channel
Another great film Richard

Hi, Thank you very much for your comment. I've got a good one coming up that includes a delivery with a site move thrown in 👌👌

@@rvrebel2209 The axles control themselves, however you can over ride them and turn them independently if needed
Love the camper
Thanks, I've got lots of work to do to it, I might film some for TH-cam 👍

Ha ha I should put a sticker like that on my car. Thanks for watching I am honoured to have people watching from over the pond. 👍👍
Great video as always
Thank you sir 👍👍
Excellent

Loved the video mate keep smashing it 😊👍
@@Dazjwoods I will try. Thank you 👍👍
Great vid. Just subscribed all the way from Thailand.
hi richard, just stumbled upon your vid, brilliant, i'll have a look at more of them as i get some time, thanks.
I wish more people would take the attitude you have with the Moto vouchers.
So do I. Moto would get the message then
great video buddy.I will watch out for you on the M18 👍
@@M18Truckspotter Thanks, that's brilliant. I am up and down there quite often
Another Gud Un 👏
Cheers 👍👍

Cheers mate 👌
Love it interested in ERF and camper
I've wanted to ask for a time, now. What do the white squiggles near the round about mean?

Oh yeah absolutely massive price tag. As you say though made in Britain 👌 Thanks for your comment 👍👍
That motor home is a bit smaller than the blue coach, you had down your driveway.
@@typashley8438 😂 yes quite a lot smaller. I sold the coach because we didn't use it as much as I would have liked
hey can you make a video where you shot the trailer fully extended?
I have a question, how does the ballast get attached/loaded onto the back of the crane, without a crane??
@@truckatadders Hi in the UK our axle weighs are higher than most places in the world, which means small cranes run around with all the ballast on the crane. Bigger cranes carry a small amount off ballast the rest comes on other trucks. The crane can load its own ballast by lifting it on to the deck of the crane the slewing round to pick it up.
@heavy_low_n_slow when you said "there goes the ballast truck" I immediately started thinking er....how 🤔 going down a wormhole now 🤦🏻♂️
about 30 years ago i rented a merc van from merc dealer i cudnt get over 45 up corley bank took it back and laffed at the sales bloke when he asked if i fancyed buying some more ,dangerous is the right word for them
😂 The van had 70hp and it's fully loaded all the time. The new engine has really woken it up
Is that winders
Think Saturday rate is normal no one works for single time
I don't work for single time but you would be surprised how many people do 😭
I drive a 60t liebherr in Dublin, Great videos lad 👦!!!
Cheers mate, I loved driving the cranes 👍
Just think of the money you're earning 😂😂
😂 I wish
8{3- = 9:00 Yellow lorry red lorry.
😂😂 yes I didn't think about that
Hiya mate not sure how to contact you apart from here on how to send you a logo i have made
