• An entirely new grittcr /salt-spreader shown mounted on one of the equally new M series Bedford 4 x 4 chassis will be one of the chief features of the Atkinson's of Clitheroe display at the 1970 Public Works Exhibition, at Olympia. November 16 to 21. The unit introduces a "new look" with its low-profile 6 cu yd body which, moulded as a single element in glass-reinforced plastics, combines great strength with noncorrodibility and minimal maintenance. The vehicle is equipped with an Atkinson's snowplough which is actuated from the gritter's central hydraulic system.
The very versatile little MiniTug is also to be displayed, not only in the snowand ice-clearing role with powered spreader body and adjustable snowplough, but also with tank, boom and lance spray gear for the weedkilling treatment of footways, car parks, and so forth.
Together with a current model from the range of its demountable independent power-operated gritter /salt-spreaders, Atkinson's is also displaying representative models from its range of Howie snowploughs.
