  I think Eclipse is the only local firm with a tow truck as big as this.Coombe valley transport had a similar one until they recently sold it.One of our lads on the Funfair towed a large load a few years back,comprising of an ERF generator truck towing the Dodgems floor plate trailer,then on the back was the Dodgems car trailer,then the Showmans living trailer on the back.The whole load was around 130ft long.

  Still doesn't look big enough to do the job in my eyes andy, mind you we see those little tugs cracking away in the harbour.

  One stalled with a similar load outside my house a few days ago. After much revving and gear grinding it got away again!
