And you'd have been ight until King (who else?) itroduced their new pin location oupler.*Tpere's never been a ystem as fast and as foolproof. ' minutes. That's the record -as far as we know. The holder? Maurice Barlow, who drives a King low-loader for C. Walton of Husbands Bosworth (He admits that his time wouldn't have been as good if conditions had been less than perfect!) How long will the record stand? We don't know. For instance an operator who uses the optional cab-controlled hydraulic jacks could certainly make a dent in it. Get your drivers to come down and try out the new King coupler. With just a little practise theycould break records themselves!
