On
all the exhibition days at the European Tow Show this year Boniface
were able to demonstrate the the performance of two Century 1075
Rotators, as well as one Interstater with an 80 tonne metre crane and
the skill of the operators who use during the "All Industry
Display Team" daily event. The support of three of Boniface's
customers was immense as they had devoted both people and valuable
resources for the duration of the show and the professionalism of the
people operating the machines was apparent by the way the different
companies worked together to smoothly undertake their respective
tasks.
Two casualty vehicles were used, a long container and trailer with
tractor unit and a bus, both were rolled on their side. The bus had to
be rolled back onto some catch bags, this was achieved effortlessly by
Darrell Mansfield's three sons who operated the large Fassi crane
installed in front of an Interstater 6, it was noticeable that
the crane was capable of much bigger things! The container was rolled
and moved by Saunders and FAM working together in an intricate
manoeuvre
that involved passing the load between the two vehicles, in fact the
gap available was less than the length of the container.
The demonstrations were choreographed and supervised by Nick Ovendon
with commentary by John Coupland who are organisors of all the
displays, other manufacturers were represented and the skill of the
operators of these products is also worthy of applause.
