Myself, Gus and Darren hit off on a road trip today to visit the yard of a heavy haulage company in Co. Laois. The company has many HH rigs and the yard is also used to store very heavy plant and machinary as well as being the main depot for sarens in Ireland. Unfortunately all the sarens cranes were out on jobs but there was still plenty to see. We met the owner of the yard and Aylward heavy haulage who couldn't have been nicer to us and even moved out his trucks for us to take pics! He was actually upset that the trucks were dirty and said if he knew we were coming he would have had them all washed for us!!

We also had another motive for our trip.. It is intended that the first truck you will see in these pics will be the next Irish HH rig from WSI so we wanted to check it out and get some pics to get the drawings started and get the ball rolling on the project. It will be a very limited exclusive run and the owner of the company will be taking a large quantity for his own use so anyone interested will need to get their orders in early!! Heres some pics..















Pics of the other trucks and machinary to follow later..

Noel.

Nice pictures Noel, anymore of what was in the yard? The roads down south must have been reasonably good to make the trip, I cant even walk down the drive way at the moment or go to Sligo for paint.
Ya I would be interested in one, have enough WSI Scanias at the moment a Volvo would make a change. Will it come with the usual WSI low loader/inter dolly or a semi low loader trailer like the one your pictures?

Heres a picture if her that I found on the web (Miss Cadzow on Flickr) where it is looking a bit cleaner:

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Thats the way to spend the break..work of some turkey lbs...and a return visit with some spit and polish shots ..the waterford crew on tour..your living the life guys,...will u get some REWARD for your effort? ,

MCS made a wad of money from the M50,from places they couldn't blast,which is everywhere,
Granite isn't too kind on crushers
