Cadzow Heavy Haulage

AROCS JOINS CADZOW COLLECTABLES SERIES!

Customised promotional model vehicle specialists, Search Impex, are pleased to announce the release of a 1:50 scale Mercedes Arocs (8X4) with neck, ballast box, draw bar and two Scheuerle modules (6 + 4 axles), customised in the well known livery of Scottish operator Cadzow Heavy Haulage.

This is the fourth 1:50 scale model to be commissioned through Search Impex by Cadzow and follows on from the earlier (sell out) releases of the Mercedes Actros Titan Megaspace (8×4) tractor unit with a 2 / bed / 5 axle Pendel-X trailer, the Mercedes Sprinter Abnormal Load Escort vehicle and the Volvo FH Globetrotter (6×2) tag axle tractor unit and 4 axle, stepframe trailer.

The model has been produced exclusively for Search Impex by WSI Collectibles as a certificated Limited Edition (240 pieces).

The Cadzow Heavy Haulage roots actually go back to 1957 when James Macauley (Snr) purchased a 2 tonne Morris truck and set out with a vision of building a family business in public works, including earthmoving, demolition and the supply of construction materials. Following the death of James in the early 1970s, his son (Jim Jnr) had the daunting task of taking over the reins. He opted to move away from the civil engineering and public works sector and made a decision to move purely into heavy haulage – so beginning, in 1973, what is now seen as today’s Cadzow Heavy Haulage. Since then, under Jim Macauley’s guidance, the Company which, incidentally, takes its name from “Cadzow” – a region of South Lanarkshire in Scotland, has become one of the UK’s best known and most experienced operators in the transportation of heavy and abnormal loads.

Offering haulier services throughout the UK and Europe to a range of different industries, Cadzow Heavy Haulage can handle loads of up to 600 tonnes. Large items of machinery and plant for commercial businesses are moved using the haulier’s fleet of modern tractor units (predominantly Mercedes, DAF and Scania) on a variety of modern trailers, including modular & low loaders. Reinvestment has always been a philosophy of the Macauley family, a policy resulting in a very modern, well maintained and well presented fleet of units and trailers.

Models, available from Search Impex, are priced at £266 each (including UK delivery & VAT). For details of availability of this and other models, collectors can visit the Search Impex website at www.search-impex.co.uk or call on 01332 873555.
