Established in 1946, the family business of Bernard Hunter quickly became a recognised name within the Crane Hire, Scrap Metal Processing and Machinery Movement industry within Edinburgh. Bernard Hunter Ltd currently owns some of the most modern equipment within its industry, ranging from Scotland's first mobile tower crane to machinery for recycling various electrical cables that would have normally gone to landfill. This 150-tonne DAF XF105 was designed to carry the ballast plates for their mighty 250 tonne Liebherr crane on a Nooteboom trailer. The 6x4 FTT XF105 has the most powerful 510hp rated MX 13-litre engine and a 16-speed ZF gearbox with a ZF intarder. It's got two bunks and just to round things off a little, leather seats with armrests
