building/ upgrade a small road track

[noseall]

are they not for cars? ie upto 3.5 tone and not 44 tone

You want to build a road for a 44 tonne vehicle to pass along in the winter?

Any fertile material will need removing first as all the hard core and all the will in the world, wont stop a 44 tonner from sinking. You will then need a bed layer of large gear, i.e. brick sized or larger grade hardcore. This will need compacting (roller). Then a finer layer compacted on top.

And do you know of any one? Manchester based that is?

You find farmers all over the place. Heavy recovery firms are another possible. In truth an obliging driver on the unit will get an empty trailer into some pretty unlikely places though some are proper jobsworths and refuse to do anytthing other than drive along a road,

We still don't what you're trying to do though: one off, occassiona or frequent as and that will affect the answer dramatically.

I’ve read most of your threads and I don’t think we know the “big picture”. Do you want to share?

Yes it’s quite possible that you need planning permission.

permittion for what building a road or upgrading a road?

Though I said that above. But this is indeed a one off job

In the absence of photos and your say so only, imagination is all we have.

For a one off I'd just go for it

I will take a video of it next time i am there and upload it for you to see

So how much should a wagon load of crush cost me then?

WTF?

And what if the driver refused to drive down there then what next?

Joy.

No idea. What is crush? Where is the job? Is it remote? What size wagon?

If I was building a road, I'd have the largest (wieldy) machine I could hire along with a road roller and a dumper and have somewhere to dump the spoil.

Few hundred used 3x2 concrete paving slabs will do it if you have the time to wait for them to come up locally and transport to collect them.

They're hard work. I have a decent trailer and I've got a fair few on Freecycle where people have tried to collect 30 in a Ford Fiesta with the seats down. The old 3" granite ones are killers.

The tipper driver who brought me a few tons of crushed rubble was bragging that he could pretty much lay a road by himself, by tipping slowly while driving forward. Said it would just need a bit of flattening out after.

I got crushed rubble rather than specifically concrete - it had some red brick in. Possibly less frost-resistant but it was dirt cheap. Delivery cost more than the stuff itself, they basically want to get rid of the stuff as they'll have been paid to take it before they crushed it all.
