From Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki
The Chaseside company of Blackburn, England, UK built some of the earliest loader and cranes based on Fordson tractors.
[edit] History
They were taken over by JCB in 1968 for the loading shovel range of seven models. The production of Northrop tractors stopped, with JCB putting the last 2 to work on their farm estate.
Loading Shovel Production transferred to Rocester, Staffordshire in 1969.
JCB went onto develop a new range of Loading shovels in 1971 with the 400 series of 413 & 418 models (see JCB for details after this period).
[edit] Model Range
- Chaseside Hi-Lift Loader
- Chaseside 1 ton Crane
- Chaseside 2 ton Crane
- Chaseside Loading Shovel range;
- JCB re-badged the machines in 1969 following transfer of production to JCB at Rocester.
