Lol, we they actually decided to do something today, i was there all night driving this very crane, the engineer never turned up so the supervisor would not put anything together in case it was wrong. Nice easy night shift for me  , Colebrook Road in Shirley I think it was, i'm a London bloke so don't know Birmingham very well at all. Might have to copy the pictures for my own album if you don't mind? Gaz

I'm not sure, i doubt it as the extra weights are 18.2t, with the weights of the matts and the probable lack of room on the wagon i'd say another trailer will turn up. I could be wrong though, they might get it all on board the 1. Jack. wrote:Nice Pictures Sam, Gaz, this not your ride then? No mate, this is Birmingham depots machine, mines parked up in London. I took a van up just to drive it for the nightshift. Gaz

ok, went back again, and saw them start to pack down, but couldn't stay long enough to see them leave, the extra counterweights had already left the site when i got there, the crane was just working with the weight it carries it'self, pictures are just uploading to photobucket Sam
