Well you've all been busy posting comments about Cline and Hayes trucks on Biglorryblog so I thought you deserved to see some pictures of both of them. Erwin Uebel transport director for Venezuelan heavy haulage specialists Transporte Faga y Bovinelli C.A started it all off when he sent me his first load of pictures featuring his magnficent Mack DM-800s. Now he's really done us proud with this selection of his Cline and Hayes starting above with the former.
Now Erwin says: "Here's a picture on our Cline 250 and the Hayes on a power plant job we did in 2002 for General Electric.
Looks like a tight squeeze getting it through the gateway. I'd have knocked the wall down to make it easier...!
I swear the guy on the left is pushing the trailer to get it past the gate post! Or else he's looking for a cigarette paper to slip into the gap...Now click through here for more...
Now he says: "Here's another pic from the transport of a drilling rig mast." Superb pictures Erwin and many thanks on behalf of all BLB readers!

Yes, I agree - great photos. I am quite familiar with Cline dumpers, but I had not seen one in heavy haulage use before. Was it built as a heavy haulage tractor, or is it a conversion I wonder?

Or a chain-drive Scammell, or did the Poms keep all those to themselves?
