Atkinson Borderer Low Loader

Dating from the mid 1970s with registration plate KKU 655P,  the Atkinson Border is pulling an extensive low loader working for the National Coal Board Mines Rescue department.  The cab is decorated in bright yellow with contrasting dark blue to the low loader section and wheels. The flatbed floor is given a realistic brown ‘timber’ finish and carries the NCB logo on the side edge. The detail is all in the cab which features the distinctive Atkinson radiator with chrome surround to the black grille. A destination board above the cab window reads Mines Rescue, reminding us of the dangers which miners in the coal-mining industry faced on a daily basis.
