A TAILOR-MADE partition system provides flexibility in carrying mixed loads of feeds in a Wilcox bodied eight wheeler for Pauls Agriculture of Beverley, Humberside.
The lightweight, all-welded aluminium body, measuring 6.85m (22ft 61n) long and 1.9m (6ft 3in) deep, is mounted on a Leyland T57 Constructor, with an Edbro DE16 single ram tipping gear and Seadyke blowing equipment incorporating a Holmes 613 blower unit.
The partition doors are edged with a high density brush, compressed against the bottom and side of the body, providing a virtually watertight, maintenancefree seal between compartments. They were developed by Wilcox in collaboration with its sister company, Seadyke Freight Systems. Pauls Agriculture produces bulk animal feed in units of three tonnes. The simple doors have been positioned to divide the body into three sixtonne loads, two six-tonne and two three-tonne loads, or four 4.5-tonne loads with extra capacity available for odd-sized orders.
Total payload is 19.5 tonnes.
