'King-size' kroozers on Biglorryblog thanks to Martin P and Kings Heavy Haulage...

Dsc_0071.jpg

Now here's a couple of KING-SIZE beauties. 'Keeper of the Flame' Martin Phippard, Biglorryblog's man at Volvo Truck & Bus Centre Wales & West---at the wonderfully-named Gurney Slade (didn't Tony Newley have a minor '60s hit called the 'Life and Times of Gurney Slade?' Or was that something else?) has sent me this picture and the following message: "Hi Brian, I thought you might enjoy this splendid picture kindly forwarded to me by my customer Steve King from King's Heavy Haulage (Bristol). Steve has thoughtfully provided details of the size and weight and of the route taken by the abnormal loads. And while most of us were relaxing on the customary day of rest, Steve and his crew were busy working of course! Best regards, Martin P."

Martin Phippard:

Brian, When I said that Steve King had "thoughtfully provided details of the size and weight of the loads plus the route taken" I assumed that you would include this detail for BLB readers too! DUU-OH!
Anyway for anyone interested the loads measured 19-feet, 7-inches wide and scaled in at 59-tonnes each. They were moved from Wickwar to Avonmouth Docks.
