DESIGNED for use in factories, warehouses, yards and stores, a 3,000 lb. battery-electric dump truck has been introduced by Wessex Industries (Poole) Ltd., which has a bucket capacity of 8 Cu. ft. and a width of 2 ft. 5 in. It is known as the Model ED 30.8.
The dumping operation is performed by depressing a foot clamp and lifting the bucket by a handle. Electrical controls comprise a forward/reversing switch, a five-stage speed controller and a dead-man's foot switch. A handbrake and a footbrake are provided and a direction-arrow indicator shows the driver the position of the front drive wheel.
