base truck used for crane is an ex WW2 RAF Thornycroft Amazon 6 ton 6x4 short wheel base WF/AC6/1..which originally would have had curved front wings and a hard cab when new, and should have a Coles MkVII crane fitted, but the crane in the pic is not original to the vehicle..the whole thing is a postwar commercial rebuild. |

It's actually a Taylor HydraCrane. My grandad, Alan Taylor, used to produce them at F. Taylor & Sons in Salford. Patents were later sold to Coles Cranes. They (Taylor's) were the first company to produce cranes with a slewing jib and with hydraulics. One was restored and presented to the Manchester Science Museum last year. They were indeed rebuilt from Morris transports that were ex army stock. It was very hard to find a Morris in the North West as Taylor's bought most of them and turned them into cranes! If any one needs any more info on this or other Taylor Cranes please contact me at info@taylorestates.com or go to TaylorBusinessPark.com to find other contact info. Jumbos were a different crane produced after this one by F Taylor & Sons. The Jumbo had its own chassis made in the factory. It was the Hydra that used the Morris and they were usually painted red. Some were painted green and presented to some companies on request (some rail companies liked the green ones). -- Last edit: 2008-01-21 17:25:30 |
