I've seen some carriers struggle to drive onto transporters or trailers over the years.

I have a friend who once had a Brockway Bridge Erector, which was the forerunner of the skip truck, in operation. He used it to carry his Weasel.

Used to carry - skips, for scrap, rubbish or recycling. These skips are pretty much the size of a carrier with a four point lift from the top edge.

Big horizontal bar across the top, one hydraulic cylinder each side, four chains dangling down from the bar.

Correct Ron! But both vehicles long since gone.

I used to call in on Pip regularly on any trip from Poole through the Forest. But must admit I haven't stopped by for 3-4 years now. Ron
