Having recently featured the pictures of Pacific logging trucks working in New Zealand from Mariusz I thought it was about time Biglorryblog featured another couple of Pacifics--this time from Dennis Child, general manager at ROTRAN Multi-Axle, who works for the "extreme" heavy-haulage specialist in South Africa. As I've said before, Dennis has the best toy box in the world but he does look after his toys--of that there's no doubt. For example he's been slowly breathing life back into a couple of his venerable 'Ultra' Pacific heavy haulage tractors adding new engines and other drive line bits to them before putting everything back together with refurbished cabs and chassis (that's probably a gross understatement of all the work that's actually gone on but you get the picture). And here's the latest Phoenix from the ashes above--and that's what it looked like below just a short while ago.

And Dennis is not a man to hang around tiehr for no sooner was his baby finished he put it to work--in this case hauling a 153-ton transformer! Which it naturally handled with ease....

And for good measure here's a shot from Dennis of a herd of his beloved ROTRAN Ultra Pacifics wortking together on another job.

Now click through here for some REAL monsters from ROTRAN..and news of the some soon-to-be new arrivals..
