A PROTOTYPE ground-loading body has been delivered by Freight Bonallack Ltd to a Humberside waste-paper converting company. The body has been added to existing Loadspeeder demountable body system which is already operated by the company, Waste Paper Products Ltd.
The body, which is equipped with four hydraulic legs and a quick-action facility for connection to a hydraulic power system on the Bedford tipper chassis which carries it, can be lowered to ground level for loading after it has been demounted and subsequently raised again for mounting on the chassis. At its destination the body can be unloaded again at ground level or emptied by tipping through its rear gates.
The hydraulic power for both the jacking and tipping operations is supplied by a pump driven from the gearbox pto. A jumper loom, consisting of five hoses, is taken from the rear of the vehicle chassis to the body.
The body is secured to the vehicle by twistlocks which have to be disconnected before the body can be removed. The entire demounting and lowering cycle takes less than 10 minutes.
