There's a first time for everything, reckons Biglorryblog especialy when it comes to buying a super Swede like an FH16. And that's exactly what Stockport-based MT Kaill (Plant Hire) has done by buying their first ever Volvo--which just so happens to be this heavy hitter FH16.520. I am reliably informed that MT Kaill is one of the largest plant hire companies in the Northwest, so naturally they need something with a bit of grunt to move it all.
Purchased from local Volvo dealership, Thomas Hardie Commercials of Stockport, the Globetrotter-equipped artic is now their flagship vehicle within a mixed fleet of eight rigid trucks.
The 6x2 was specified with Euro-4 SCR six-pot and is plated for 80-tonne GCW. beneath the aforementioned Globetrotter XL cab, complete with ‘Prestige’ trim and spot-lights you'll also find an I-Shift auto. The Black Beauty also pulls a state-of-the-art low loader, twin tag and extendable deck trailer supplied by Traffco.

Fortunately, thanks to Ian Choularton, I can tell you that this is not in fact a giant killer spiny starfish from Mars (or anywhere else for that matter) it's the 'The B Of The Bang Sculpture'---outside The stadium of Manchester City. And here's another picture of it. I think he deserves a pie for knowing that. Now where did I leave them...?
