Bedford TK Timber Truck&Trailer Gloucestershire

[arniecardigan]

Seen a guy driving an old Bedford TK Timber truck and trailer through Stroud Gloucestershire a few times recently, the truck has a crane with timber grab.

When driving through Stroud the trailer has been strapped onto the bed of the truck to save towing it!

 

Anybody know who this is???

 

I have 3 proper big ash to come down next month and need to transport them 5-6 miles to my yard, who ever he is he has the perfect set up to move them for me as they have to come across a field before getting to the road!!

 

I've thought about moving it roadside but then I risk it being borrowed indefinitely by the timber fairies and I do not have access for a big rig at my yard!

 

If no one knows who this is does anyone know anyone local to me with a similar set up??

I think it was! I caught a glimpse of the driver last time I saw it and thought it might have been Jim but I haven't seen him since doing some stuff with him when working for Nature first about 13years ago!! If you could send me his number that would be great help!!

Thanks to arbtalk I found the Bedford and owner however he cant do the work for me, so next question is......who owns and runs the bright green 4x4 Timber Truck with the Palfinger crane and grab that has just started operating from the Lakeside garage yard on the A46 at Nailsworth? I've seen that hauling some decent timber lately and have been told its two guys who have just moved to the area from Bristol but at the moment I can't find them!

ive seen it parked by the playhouse in stroud as well,

 

how big is the timber you want to move ?as i have a tractor/roofmount and timber trailer if any use

I have 3 Ash that are about 4-5foot at the base coming down first week of december.....so big is the size!!
