DELFGATES from cleansing authorities who have to carry refuse from city centres to distant disposal points will be interested in two vehicles, developed to solve this problem, which will be shown next Wednesday during the Institute of Public Cleansing's conference at Portsmouth. The vehicle demonstration will take place at Eastern Road, whilst earth-moving equipment is to be shown on the following day at Tangiers Road.
The bulk-handling designs to be displayed by Walkers and County Cars and Powell Duffryn , will be almost the only equipment, other than some appliances in the earth-moving display, to be shown for the first time. Design of refuse-collection vehicles appears to have consolidated during the past year and few, if any, new or modified bodies will he seen unless there are some last-minute disclosures.
TUE Lodek 25-cu.-yd, barrier-loading semi-trailer to he shown by Glover, Webb and Liversidge, Ltd., 561 Old Kent Road, London, &E1, is one of a number for Liverpool Corporation and incorporates dust-control devices developed by this authority, Four fans in the body roof maintain a forward current of air to prevent dust from being drawn from the rear of the vehicle when it is on the move.
The Haller continuous-compression body manufactured by this concern will
appear with Zoller dustless-loading apparatus. Other exhibits will include a. 25-cu.-yd. Dual-tip body on a Karrier Chassis, and a 41-cu.-yd. capacity bulkrefuie transporter with moving-floor discharge to allow it to be emptied under any tip conditions. Also to be shown is the Marlborough trailer-mounted mobile lavatory.
The Lodek -semi-trailer shown will be drawn by a Scarnrnell Scarab tractor, whilst Scainmell Lorries, Ltd., Watford, Hells, will demonstrate a similar tractor with an Eagle Speedyload semi-trailer. This will be the first appearance of the Speedyload rotating body on a Semitrailer. The body drum is driven by a
hydraulic motor powered by a pump on the tractor.
The Eagle Engineering Co., Ltd.. Warwick, will also show a Speedyload body of 32-cu-.-yd. capacity mounted on a rigid Dennis Pax chassis. The steel body is clad in a plastics outer cover and a sixman crew cab is provided. When dustless loading gear is fitted to this body, it is known as the Cleanload.
A Seddon Mark 15 carries the other Eagle body to be shown—an 18-26-cu.-yd. Compressmore iii which compression is achieved by a hydraulically powered barrier. The final exhibit will be a semitrailer designed to carry eight Paladin bins.
Another Seddon-Eagle Compressmore is to be the sole exhibit of Seddon Diesel Vehicles, Ltd., Oldham, Lancs.
Shefflex, Ltd., Sheffield, one of the pioneers of dustless loading in this country, are to display their 18-cu.-yd. self-loading body on a Dennis Pax chassis. The loading-shutter used, which was seen first at the I.P.C. _conference last year, is in contact with the mouth of the bin during the complete emptying cycle to prevent spillage.
Two Loading Cradles
The Yewco forward and'rearward tipping dustless-loading refuse body to be shown by the Yorkshire Engineering and Welding Co. (Bradford), Ltd., Bradford Road, Idle, Yorks, is now fitted with only two loading cradles. One is manually operated and the other is provided with air assistance to deal with larger bins. The 17-cu.-yd. body, which is the Dutch De Graaf design built under licence, now incorporates a hydraulically powered compressor plate which increases its effective capacity by a claimed 25-30 per cent.
The vehicle is based on a Guy Otter chassis and the cab structure includes a 2-cu.-yd. salvage compartment. Yewco offer their own lidded bins of a-, 2and 2-1-cu.-ft. capacity for use with the loading gear.
The Tippax body manufactured by Dennis Bros., Ltd., Guildford, Surrey, has not been shown previously to I.P.C. delegates. It is a forward-and-rearward tipping design, and the model shown. will be fitted with gear for dustless emptying of bulk containers. The shutter, to tccommodate the containers, can be opened to permit manual loading.
Paxit H compression vehicles will be the basis of the four other Dennis exhibits. Various types of dustlessloading gear will be shown with these vehicles, some of them for the first time.
A new compression device for consolidating refuse in their fore-and-aft tipping bodies has been developed by Shelyoke and Drewry, Ltd., Letchworth, Herts. It will be incorporated in 26and 12-cu.-yd. bodies to be shown and in a container-loading version of the design. The equipment is known as the Mark II Powerpress and is said to give better results than the previous device.
r The latest version of the Pendulum compressor body, which will be exhibited by John Gibson and Son, Ltd., Edinu34
burgh, 6, provides greater compression than its predecessors and thus . has a slightly larger toad capacity.
Other Pendulum bodies on view will be of 10-15-cu.-yd. and 12-18-cu.-yd. capacities on Dennis Heron and Karrier Game cock chassis respectively. Gibson are now building the Paladin container-lifting mechanism under licence, and the equipment will be shown in addition to their own design of bin-hoist.
' All six vehicles demonstrated by Karrier Motors, Ltd., Luton, Beds, will have oil engines. The three Bantams shown will carry 7-9-cu.-yd. side-loading bodywork, a 12-13-cu.-yd. Dual-Tip, and an 11-15-cu.-yd. compression body.
Refuse-collection bodywork for the three Bedford chassis to be shown by Vauxhall Motors, Ltd., Luton, -Beds, is manufactured by the Eagle Engineering Co., Ltd. Their Speedyload body is to be mounted on a 7-ton oil-engined chassis With crew cab.
A forward-control 6-ton chassis with a 12-20-cu.-yd. Compressmore body is another exhibit, whilst a side-loading body on a normal-control J-type chassis will complete the Bedford display.
Refuse-collection bodies on the chassis exhibited by the Ford Motor Co., Ltd., Dagenham, Essex, will also be exclusively Eagle designs. Once again, Ford will display the Thames 15-cwt. chassis with a 3-cu.-yd. side-loading body, whilst two Thames Trader 5-tonners will he seen with 12-20-cu.-yd. Compressmore bodies.
The exhibit of Walkers and County Cars, Ltd., Fleet, Hants, will not be shown in the demonstration arena at Portsmouth, but should arouse much interest nevertheless. It is a complete system for bulk-refuse transport which will be shown in model form. The M.P.L. system, as it is known, is intended to overcome problems in bulk transport arising from the decreasing density of refuse. , The other new bulk-load development which will be making its first appearance at an I.P.C. conference is the American Dempster equipment now manufactured in this country by the Powell Duffryn Engineering Co.. Ltd., 8 Great Tower Street, London, E.C.3. The Dumpmaster body to be shown is a compression-type unit loaded through an aperture in the front of the body roof.
It can be used also for collection work when fitted with overloader arms to raise a hopper from in front of the cab.
The other Powell Duffryn exhibits will be the Dinosaur demountable body and Dumpster container handling gear. The Dinosaur is a fully enclosed container which can be used as a large portable receptacle for refuse, and when full can be picked up easily for transfer to the disposal point. The Dempster equipment is attached to a conventional chassis to allow it to raise and carry open or closed containers.
