WHEN the hearing of an application VV by Sunter Bros., Ltd., Northallerton, to add a 32-wheeled low-loading trailer to their A licence was resumed before the Northern Licensing Authority at Newcastle upon Tyne, on Tuesday, Mr. T. H. Campbell Wardlaw, for the concern, said to Mr. E. Milne, of Pickfords Heavy Haulage Service: "If this trailer is put on the road, there will be nothing to compare with it ?"
Mr. Milne: "Certainly not. We are using trailers as good as this."
Mr. Milne added that since nationalization IS Or 19 low-loaders had been brought to the north-east. Mr. W. E. Gott, of British Railways, Middlesbrough, said that there were several Tees-side structural engineers whose products required to be carried on special vehicles. "We are getting less and less of this type of traffic," he stated.
Mr. T. Sunter said that when the application was originally made on November 12, 1956, work had not been started on the trailer. They thought that the application was reasonable and would not meet with much opposition. Theywished to carry loads of 45-60 Ions.
