Default CMP Body Configuration: bridge carrier

Not sure if this has been discussed before but I was browsing the web and came across this picture ,the CMP is carrying ramps but looks like a specific body for the Job !
Any Thoughts ?

That is part of a bridge. This was taken at Goudhurst in Kent.

Default Ford f60h

Hello

I's the first time a see such truck with these kind of load.
It's seems to be a FORD CANADA F60H with the last axle non driving and a frame of 134 inches and a cab number 11.
These trucks were used with technical body or bridge layer or with a HOLMES cranes; If you are interessed I own pic of each kind of body used by these trucks

Excellent picture, Rob!

I agree with Niels.....it does look a lot like a SBG bridge carrier.

does anyone know the source of this picture.......and if there is a bigger version of this picture available on the web?
