I trained on them a few [1] years ago and they are a great bit of kit. I think the main winch was 25t if I remember correctly. Diff locks on all axles, so you have to really be determined to manage to get one stuck. Apparently when they were new the cost was in the region of £250k!

 

[1] quite a few actually...

Hi guys,

will see the machine later this week again, will get some photo's.

 

To be able to get a 24m (22m from edge of truck) and then pick-up 900kgs off a soggy surface at a affordable price is rare!

 

I for one, will be thinking that at this hourly charge where is the reason for me the entertain the thought of buying.....

This is the kind of stuff the Foden used to get up to.
