[dmetalmiki]

Not much to say really..( this huge vehicle ROLLED a few times! ) I could wish a "before and after" senario for it!

(choose WHICH way round)..sighs

scammell rollover

Yes the guy is OK I am pleased to report. He stated that HUGE lump (actually) ROLLED OVER HIM as he was flung out. scary or what?..he has it for sale now on milweb

 

[jamesfrom180]

Are you kidding me IT ROLLED OVER HIM. That is amazing and goes to illustrate that restraints are still a good addition no matter what vehicle.

 

[dmetalmiki]

In a flash

He stated he "missed" a downshift ( gate shift gearbox ) going uphill and I think the footvalve had failed NO BRAKES! so he's running back down the hill (imagine the horror of an HGV artic ) driver coming up the hill (far!) behind him?

well..it starts to weave! next thing VISCOUSE whip and rollover ! he DID think .. well you can guess what he was thinking!..(perhaps not!.)

No, I land on rubber and with some field repair, DRIVE ON OWN POWER to temp storage, then on the truck, then in the gate. really I would say GOD kept the rubber down, I just did the field repairs

Cool looking vehicle........when it's all there. Must say, it sure held up well for getting the dirty side up.

 

[ACBMWM#]

Sad because its a fairly rare vehicle

 

[storeman]

Scammell Constructo.................i got a lot to learn.

 

[Knucklehead]

THAT IS MY FAVORITE VEHICLE IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the full wings it has [fenders] instead of the cycle wings. It must be repaired. You British dudes get all the good toys.

One serious looking machine, and for a complete roll over it isn't all that bad really. But I'll bet the owner never drives anything like THAT again... Usually we only get one warning. Unless he's part cat, he got his. That 'beastie' rolling over me, I'd take up walking....
