VB20 MAP joined the fleet in September 2020 and as you can see is certainly pulling its weight. Seen here transporting a CAT D6 dozer on route from Purfleet to Caterpillar at Cannock, the 24-tonne machine gives an all-up weight of approximately 50 tonnes. STGO movements are a regular task for the Ponsonby fleet, with a large variety of suitable trailers, whether it be multi-axle, extendable or low bed.
Once again we are pleased to confirm that MA Ponsonby Ltd has successfully passed the annual audit to maintain the FORS Silver Standard.
As the fleet continues to grow, both with additional vehicles and an ever increasing variety of trailer types, the FORS Silver Standard ensures the Company can continue to offer professional and qualified services to clients, particularly those engaged with such projects as HS2.
After waiting for lock-down to lift and all of the customisation work to be completed, Mike is over the moon to put the new S 650 out to work in the hands of driver Tim.
Young Tommy Ponsonby wasted no time entering the new girl into Truckfest alongside his brother Anthony, Tommy was pleased to come away with an award to start her on the right path, alongside the other members of the award winning fleet.
The featured picture is of them both leaving the yard on route to Truckfest.

Our New Scania S650 is nearly ready to hit the road, she will be the pride of the fleet with some amazing customisation.
Due to Covid-19 we are waiting for things to return to normal before we finish the build, but cant wait to unveil her later this year.
M A Ponsonby Emergency Truck and Trailer Recovery was in action this week, we collected and pulled a smashed cab and its load, simultaneously from a very bad accident in Beaugency, France.
It all resulted from a front drivers side blow out with the truck steaming through the Armco and down the side of the motorway into a ditch, the cab had jackknifed and was a complete wreck, the driver and his daughter on board were very lucky to have escaped without injury.
After being told to “organise everything and send us the bill” by his insurance, we were contacted and asked to help the driver get his truck and trailer back to the midlands.
We loaded up our Doll low loader trailer with our R520 Topline and had the 580 S line pull her down onto the continent. After Winching the wrecked cab onto the detachable neck low loader we coupled up the R520 to the customers trailer, and brought them both home safely to the Midlands.
It is an unfortunate position that any haulier can find themselves in, now whilst we don’t wish this bad fortune on anyone, we will say that if you need help, we are available 24/7 for a Europe wide call out. With our specialist skills in Abnormal Load movements we are experts in delivering any loads up to STGO Cat2 80tonne GVW, we can deliver your load whilst also returning your truck to your garage simultaneously.
Depending on timescales and each individual situation we can also provide escorting services for the load and reorganise permits for the movements on your behalf. We will organise everything to get your load to its destination and your vehicle back home.
