A glimpse at what we do, and it’s what we’ve been doing for over a hundred years. There’s the the old Foden that’s been around for 56 years, contrast that with a brand new Sennebogen 835E, 45 tonne materials handler, a 1000 tonne Copex shear that’s almost new. We had snow a couple of times while I was making this video, you see what I see when I arrive at 5.30am, I have to get the snowplough on the JCB shovel and plough the yard, then throw salt on to clear to the tarmac, with a steeply sloping yard I can’t run the risk of the wagons arriving to load early and the yard being iced or snowed over. The Sennebogens slide around really badly, the torque reaction to slewing the superstructure makes the chassis rotate on the ice….it’s pretty dangerous. We shear aluminium, we shear steel in the dark and the fog, see the steel steaming because of the heat generated as the blades cut through it. For the tiny minority who feel the need to moan that it’s boring…again-go view something else somewhere else….I really dgaf 😂👍
