Loyd carrier progress

[ajmac]

Well, I've done the deal and those two Loyd Carrier chassis with engine, gearbox, axles, floor pan and bits of bogies are coming to England I am collecting them in the middle of next month so I need to get to grips with the weights involved.

I presumed at 1.5 tonnes per chassis assembly:
Loyd Chassis
All Axles
Some bogies
Floor Plate
Engine
Gearbox

However the guy who I've brought them from said he reckons 3.5 tonnes for the lot with the one side worth of good track thrown in.

I've got to decide if I can take a 3.5 tonne (3 tonnes max payload) trailer with the Discovery or if I will need to rent a 7.5 tonne truck. The final option would be get a haulage company to pick them up.... but that could get very expensive, very quickly, at least it's a back stop.
