As previously posted - undergoing a rolling refurbishment while on waste haulage around the NW.
Run for the last 20 or so years by an owner driver, this lorry is now in the care of a skip firm. It is on it's third engine and second cab - also its third body and second set of rear axles.
The current engine is a Rolls 340 TX which is a little asthmatic. The previous engine was a 325 which despite persistent water problems, pulled extremely well. Prior to this the lorry was fitted with a 270 which suffered a broken crankshaft.
The Rockwell rear axles are from a Foden - fitted due to their cross-locks -- if this gets stuck on a tip then the rest of the vehicles stand no chance!
The Leyland has also been fitted with rubber suspension to counteract the excessive rolling found with the steel suspension when travelling over bumpy ground. This also eliminates the numerous breakages found with the original installation.
The approx 60 cu yard body was homemade around 10 years ago and was fitted when the chassis was lengthened.
The cab came from a Roadtrain found in Skegness -- the doors were cut down to fit.

Tas Singla Mix operate this very tidy Leyland Constuctor mixer, that may well have been new to RMC, as it features an engine driven PTO in the front bumper.
Like a few other mixers I saw on our trip, TSM002 is also fitted with a Fassi crane that I guess gives a bit more flexibility when unloading.
Ex Quarry Industries, Plympton, Adelaide - new in 1964
Albion 900 engine now replaced with a Mack V8.
Seen 1991 in a small town in South Australia.
Don't ask, because I don't know, the only thing I am sure of is that the chassis cab was converted to a tipper by a local haulier and run on 'til about 5 years ago!

1956 Scammell junior constructor UXC 619 seen at the Wiston Steam rally 11-07-15 www.sussexsteamrally.co.uk/
The thre axle rigid in the T45 range was the Constructor. Fitted with the narrow version of the stylish cab it was a popular vehicle and was the last model to be introduced to the range. It replaced the Ergomatic cabbed Bison which was the last to be updated. This common application of a truck-mixer was a 24.21 model. 24 tonnes GVW fitted with Leyland TL11 210 HP turbocharged engine. Seen at the (then) Tilcon plant at Parkhouse Estate Chesterton Staffordshire.
Scammell Constructor 6x4 recovery truck in the livery of Saunders Garage, Stotfold.
Registered in January 1988 with no previous keepers since.
Not sure if this was a Scottish based tipper at the time, 1995, as it seemed to be weekended at Carnforth Truckhaven
Captured close to the docks area of Larnaca in Cyprus; this well presented Constructor had taken a couple of attempts to photograph as it was a nimble performer and driven by an enthusiastic driver!!
Seen in sunny Cyprus in 2005 this Leyland Constructor 8-wheeler has an extraordinarily long wheelbase. It is the rarer spec Consructor 8 with the narrow T45 cab. Badged as a Leyland DAF it is possible that this 30.26 had a DAf engine.
This Scammell badged Leyland Constructor was first registered in July 1989 and is currently MOT'd until November 2019. It is one I've seen regularly over the past couple of years, still in use hauling dirt away from building sites but have had to make do with this dashcam capture as I alway see it on the move.
Nearing the end of its working life, Constructor Mixer F39 SPX, basks in the late summer sunshine of 2001, at the vehicle's base in Bow. Acquired in 1998, she remained on the Edworthy fleet until 2002.
Leyland TL11A powered.
Owned by Isaacs since 2005.
