Fantastic photo's as usual. Do the locals mind having their picture taken? I guess there is always the exception but they seem pretty unfazed by having a camera around.
Thanks,

In many other parts of Ghana where they are more used to whites they will often stick out a hand for some 'dash' if there has been a photo taken. Not here though, which was quite refreshing.

Great photos BBC it is amazing how the people in these countries are capable to do a job with limited resources.
The Australian safety inspectors will have field day over there :D
Ain't seen a Landy done up like this before:

MANTRAC are the CAT maintenance provider to the CAT fleets at Goldfields (where this was taken) and Newmont, where I am working now.
As can be seen, there is a fair weight being carried on the back there. Don't ask me for the details!
Ghana, with its ex-colonial British background has quite a number of Landrovers. The military and the police force use them extensively. Must get some photos.
just about to say it looks tidy but with a second look realised it was a puma...didn't spot it at first probably because of the sticker
Nice photo BBC
Looks like that it is a Gardner Denver unit which can hold about 200kg on the platform and extending horizontal over 5 m
If the company it is not sold (globalization) is an American based but with brands World wide.
Has anyone seen similar fitted to a Toyota or Nissan?Quote:

Hey BBC
Tojo or Nissan dont have anything that will match the load capacity of the 130:cool::cool::cool::cool:
The wheelbase would also help with stability.

Well to be able to fit the truck models (high capacity platform the GVM and weel base it is important
Truck models require a GVM of about 3.5 tons and a wheel base over 3.2 mts.
There are models form this company and others with less payload capacity that can be fitted in 1 ton utes.
