• A 25.5-tonne payload tempted J&M Collinson of Garstang to add the first drawbar to its 28-strong fleet. The 6x4 Seddon Atkinson Strata 26.380M pulls a 5m tandem-axle trailer, at a GCW of 40 tonnes.
A rear-mounted Atlas 100.1 A2 crane will help with its fiveand-a-half day week, covering 75.000 miles a year delivering building materials to sites and merchants nationwide. The sleeper-cabbed outfit is powered by an 11-litre Cummins ISM engine, transmitting its 380hp through an Eaton 12-speed twin-splitter to a Norde-suspended Mentor RT52 rear bogie.
After more than 30 years of buying Seddon Atkinson, J&M Collinson now has 20 examples of the Oldham product; the latest example was supplied by Walton Summit Truck Centre.
