Bezoek Battazza 4

Some older but still very interesting machines where also on the yard.

This classic MAN F8 33.365 in 6x6 version is still available for heavy transports.

The floor is filled with some ballast blocks. Behind the cab stands a heavy winch.

Above the coupling the winch cable can be seen.

Here it is connected to a 4-axled drawbar trailer.

In the bushes stood this old Scammel Pioneer.

Very interesting is this Fiat 691T in 6x2 layout with double front axle (chinese six).

Like many of the italian trucks from those days, this one also has the steering wheel at the right side.

Notice how compact this truck is, ideal for the mountaines surroundings in which Battazza lives.

Behind the cab stands an Effer E140/50, a 50 T/m crane that folds together completely above the crane foot.

The crane lifts 20 tons at 2,4 meters and has a maximum outreach of 6,1 meters. With 3 manual extensions the outreach increases to 12 meter where it can lift 2,85 tons. Back in those days this was probable a very heavy crane :)

At the back of the yard stood this Fiat 180 NC 8x2, it also has right hand drive.

It also has an Effer E140/50 behind it’s cab.

Thanks to the company Battazza for letting me photograph their trucks
