Edbro introduced a new 8x4 tipping gear, the CX14, at Tip-ex two years ago. It sports a slimmed-down cylinder, which means a higher pressure and less oil. It is believed to weigh 477kg all-in, about 60kg less than the standard CX15 for 8x4 chassis: both models integrate the cylinder and the tank. Edbro sales director Peter Smith says the CX14 got off to a slow start, as operators were naturally wary about the implications of cutting weight, but is now selling well. Both types were much in evidence on many of the exhibits at Tip-ex this year, with the CX14 on trucks in the colours of Day Aggregates and Aggregate Industries. Lafarge is another user.
