On this particular move they would have used one on the approach to Llangollen, and to help negotiate the unit into the yard as the trailer needs to be reversed down Abbey Road for the final quarter of a mile.

John, as you mention reversing the last quarter of a mile, is it normal practice to come along the A5 and then cross the river in the town. I always thought they would use the road through Trevor to avoid the bridge. I'd have thought negotiating a right turn at the lights to get to the bridge from the A5 would be too tight for something that big
It's always amazed me how they get things in and out of Llangollen, there doesn't seem to be enough room to swing a cat never mind a ginormous low loader with 80 tons on the back
