antar Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Nigel The crusader chassis plate does not have axle weights on it. Here is a photo of mine. Also attached a picture of plating certificate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantters Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thanks John, Thats not so bad then... I have that plate so should be ok. Interested in the Ministry plate you have there. Your Gross train weight is shown as being 38 tonne and a design weight of 40... the same weights as the 20 tonner although your chassis number has it as a 35 Ton RE Tractor, the very last of contract 1 # WV10312. The 67th vehicle of 67! I also see that they have you down as 22.5 tyre size, is this a cock up on their part or have you changed rims etc? Want to run mine at the specified 61 tonne gross STGO cat 2 which will obviously mean a higher rate of duty and also higher axle and train weights.... Where will I be able to find out that info or will VOSA already have it for those vehicles.....? Any info you can give me regarding this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for posting the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiomike7 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) Nigel, I will scan the spec sheet for you when I get back tonight and post it here. It is for the Detroit version but the weights are the same. You might find STGO1 is the way to go.

Thanks again for posting the pictures. The plate cert only shows what it can operate at under C&U (I think) you will need a special types plate from the manufacturer ? now that poses a problem ! With regards to the tyres, my Crusader was presented for its first test with 11.00x20 tyres fitted, their computed could not handle that as in 1997 all new trucks were on tubless tyres, so they put it down as 11-22.5 their judgement not mine. It is just about to have a change to some very nice Continental 12.00x20s I have bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADBS65 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I was on the RCT MDT in the mid eighties, got to drive this! The load was a MK2 Stalwart and JCB 410 Fork Lift, which as you see just fitted. Page 1 of this thread featured 23GT99 while I drove 24GT00. Nice truck slow though, especially when we travelled from Plymouth to Scotland at 30mph. Got very interesting north of the border as our movement order directed us via Fort William and round in a loop to the show site, which I think was in/near Elgin. Very narrow roads for a 60 foot long rig with an trailer around 11 feet wide :shocked: Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantters Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi Guys, In the middle doing a revamp of my Crusader website and would like a little help please. I want to know when the first Crusader was made available and how long they were produced. I have a detailed breakdown of the Military Crusader numbers but would also like to know numbers, with dates if possible, of the civvilian versions. Any other info regarding the Crusader would be greatfully recieved whether it be technical or your own memories of the truck. If you decide to write anything about the truck from personal experiences please let me know if it is ok to publish it on the website. Many thanks Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recymech66 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 recymech, I suspect that's the same scrap yard as my previous post ;-) I agree it most probably is, I have found another couple of scrap yards, 1 in Ypsonas near Kolossi (see my photo album for pics of Scammell Explorer) and 1 in Larnaca which also has a couple of Scammell explorer plus a few other Mil vehicles but haven't had chance to get close enough for a better look.:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
