Much Modded Mat
AEC Matador O8532154, converted to a mobile scaffold truck by Mr Roy W Brown who traded as Newcastle Haulage and Transport of Broadmeadow, NSW,
He used this AEC very successfully to erect several warehouses around the city of Newcastle- he also owned a successful dealership that originally sold AEC lorries and later on Mack, MAN, Leyland & Perkins as stated on the rear doors of the Ford service van parked alongside.
The box mounted on the front houses the crankshaft driven pump for the mid-mounted forklift mast that raises the complete upper deck to a convenient working height.
Seen by me in July 1991, you might notice the driven front axle has been replaced on this one but it is most definitely based on an ex WW2 4x4 Artillery Tractor.
