I've seen a few 90s as artics, & pics of 88"s

But never a 130.
it's for a 4-ton trailer, as it's got supplementary air-brakes

I saw the 90's at Ripon (I think?), they were operating/removing the gates for the racecourse.
it used to be a company called 'Racetech'

Quote;Standard stalls come in ten-bay units which are manoeuvred around the racecourse, and between course, by a fleet of specially modified Land Rovers based at the depot at Newmarket, and can cover up to seven race meetings a day.
