  Euclid FD haul truck.
During the early to mid 1950s, Great Britain was undergoing enormous development of public and private infrastructure and several large companies were at the head of this work, Sir Lindsay Parkinson & Company Ltd and Laing Construction, both companies being involved later in motorway construction, Laing with sections of the M1 and Sir Lindsay Parkinson & Company Ltd with the M6, M4 and M62 Motorways. Laing had purchased a number of new Euclid R-15B-5 Rear Dump Trucks that had been in production in the USA and commenced using these on projects throughout the United Kingdom. Later acquisitions were painted in a distinctive corporate colour of pale yellow. |
