• Shifting nasty wet waste demands dedicated vehicles, such as this lveco 90E30 6x2 with hydraulically operated bodywork from AVI 135 of Roncadelle, Brescia. The roof of the allaluminium tipper folds open to the front for the wheeled platform with its integral waste container to be raised on linkages and tipped in from above. Like the roof plates and tailgate, the inverted platform helps to seal the body. The design can be multi-compartmental and matched to any chassis.
• Chiavetta of Catania builds a range of ISO containers which can be folded down when not in use. The latest version, for carrying 34 tonnes of concrete sections, has four supports down the centre that hinge into the upright position; the slabs then stow against it. Chiavetta also showed a 13.6m skeletal with a rearward sliding frame for discharging bulk liquid loads.
• Usually noted for adding extra-long chassis to chopped-off Sevel vans, ALKO Kober has now devised a range of air-suspended Flexo axle modules to boost their GVWs, as well as a range of chassis extenders. These add 1.85m-2.41m to the appropriate 2.85m, 3.20m and 3.70m wheelbase; they include winddown support legs.
