Really good me back in the 60s with dad od on distance work happy days
Thank you Alan 😊 🙏
Oh, this was a fantastic video for bringing back memories of the old trucks from the years gone by. There was one picture of a truck loaded up with sacks of grain all neatly built up on it. I remember watching a Thames Trader that had a hydraulic sack lifter on the back being loaded by two men with sack barrows who rolled the sacks to the lifter and dropped them on it.
When the sack was laid on the lifter frame, it pushed down on a strap which activated the hydraulics that lifted the sack for the men on the floor of the truck to catch it on their shoulder before stacking the sacks neatly on the lorry. It was quite a sight to see it working. All long before bulk tippers and tractors with loaders and tele-handlers became the normal methods of loading grain. 😂😂
Lovely to see the old gal's again, so many happy memories, good old days and so many good old boys now gone very sad but a great time to live through
Very true 👍 Andrew but not forgotten is why I do this channel, my friend

Thank you, Mark. glad you enjoyed watching my friend 😊

Fantastic Christopher and many thanks for your kind efforts That Red Atkinson loaded with the sacks looks heavy and I wonder what element of “ Handball” was used in the loading and unloading process?
Thank Ronnie well and truly heavy, and it would seriously be hard work hand balling that sort of load. They were harding working 💪 and strong men back then, my friend
Hi Chris. Love abit of Rope and Sheeting, Had to do abit in the 90s for E Mids electric on their Flats. Could still do it now(i think)😂

Thornycroft British lorrie.
When truck drivers knew they had done a hard shift no air seats automatic gear boxes and had to rope and sheet their loads wasn't much woman drivers back then now they're just steering wheel attendees sure love a old split screen cab
