Over the years the team here at PJ Downs & Sons have come across many loads which often require Route Planning, Surveys, Escorts, and quite often Police Escorts. All of which are areas we’re now very skilled in, and often do when working with Abnormal Loads. Many other firms in the industry also entrust us to help with the movement of many abnormal loads, ensuring they get to the destination safely.

Here at PJ Downs & Sons, we always make sure all necessary movement orders and any other needed paperwork is always acquired, often liaising with multiple different Police counties, highways, bridge authorities, etc. The planning and preparation is a big part when moving abnormal loads, but with our detailed knowledge, it’s never an issue for us here at PJ Downs & Sons, all of our pilot cars are also β€œCode of Practice” compliant.

Our Pilot Cars, are the most up-to-date vehicles, fully kitted out with hi-visibility chevron markings ( rear and side ), and flashing lights. Also equipped with a mobile phone with fully hands-free device fitted, as well as CB radios. Driver comfort is also a big thing we pride ourselves on here at PJ Downs & Sons, equipping our vehicles with many optional extras such as Fridge, Microwave, TV, Bed, Night-Heater, etc.

Most of the team here at PJ Downs & Sons, have also moved many Abnormal Loads, with most of us having category C+E licenses, so we understand the challenges you take on with abnormal loads, and can easily work well with other drivers to assist in the movement of loads!

So feel free to contact us for a free quote for any, Pilot Car, Route Planning, Permits, etc!

Something different today, a few build progress pictures of our 580S 8x2 Scania truck, equipped with a Fassi F545RA.2.26. This is the first brand new truck on the PJ Downs & Sons fleet, but certainly won’t be the last! Built by Macs Truck Sales Ltd in Huddersfield, the 580S 8x2 chassis / cab was supplied , and is one of the highest possible spec truck you can physically order!

Behind Scania’s legendary 16 litre engine, boasting 3050Nm of torque, is an Opticruise 12 speed premium gearbox powering a single reduction drive axle. The front steel, rear air suspended chassis is fitted with super single tyres on all but the drive axle, and the rear lift and steer setup gives the truck improved manoeuvrability levels, for tight access areas.

Also equipped with Alcoa Dura-Bright alloy wheels with Bridgestone tyres provide the perfect finishing touch for the 580S, as well as JimBars light bars!

Company founder, Peter Downs drives the new Scania 580S and he’s delighted with the truck’s performance levels to date, it’s quite an upgrade from the last Scania crane vehicle which this one replaced!

Another one done and dusted! This time, an Oyster 745 Mast! Collected from Selden Masts, Gosport and delivered too Fox's Marina & Boatyard, Ipswich! 34 Meters in length it’s certainly not a small mast, but not the biggest we’ve moved either! There is a short video at the end, with the mast entering Fox’s Marina, with our expertise and brilliant communication skills, you can see this was made easy work! ( In 4x speed due to Facebooks video length cap! )

Pictures and video by Steve Pearson, cracking shots once again!

Here we have some more pictures of the latest addition to the fleet, an extendable crane trailer, fitted with a 36 Ton / Meter PM Crane! Mostly used behind the Scania R500 Topline which was recently also added to the ever growing fleet we run here at PJ Downs & Sons!

Also spotted, with a Fairey Huntress, we recently collected from Yorkshire, which is rumoured to be 1/5 used in β€œFrom Russia with Love”!

Working with machinery and forklifts mainly, but other loads too sometimes, this versatile piece of equipment is a brilliant edition to the ever growing fleet. The crane is fully remote control, and is capable of lifting 6.9 Ton at 4.4 Meters and 2.35 Ton at 11.6 Meters, but anything heavier isn’t an issue, and can be lifted with the Fassi F545RA.2.26 Rigid Truck!
