The road outside the supermarket had to be closed while the load was steered into position and a large crowd gathered to watch such an unusual delivery taking place, along with the local press.
If you have a load which is a little out of the ordinary, give Andy Greig a call in our abnormal load department on 0161 406 8466 or by e-mail at Andrew.greig@chrisbennett.co.uk
