Bryan believe it or not there are still some manufacturers active on the UK market. I don't want to leave names and numbers on the forum but I know a man who might be able to help you and will send a PM. What exactly are you looking for don't worry about being technical im in the trade so should be able to understand your requirements.
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.

Something along the lines of a set of Matteson jacks.
We work on varying length vehicles from a Shark Ballast Plough at the shortest to a Sturgeon track carrier at the longest.
Or we may need to lift an 07 Tamper.

3 phase supply is not possible unless it is possible to use an inverter.
