• The first Multidrive to be fitted with a bulk waste body has gone into service with Birmingham City Council's environmental services department.
The 38-tonner has a Foden S.106 6x2 twin-steer tractive unit with a two-axle Multidrive chassis and an enclosed ejection body by TTB Fabrications of Dartmouth, a division of Boughton International, The TTB body is designed to take waste in at the rear and carry it from a transfer station to a tip.
It has a 51m3 capacity, and the whole vehicle is 14.1m long, 4m high and 2,5m wide.
County Durham-based Multidrive launched its off-road, multi-steer semi-trailers four years ago. Until now they have all been supplied with tanker and tipper bodies.
It has about 60 in service worldwide, half of which run with AWD tractors which are built by its Dunstable-based sister company.
