ALL-WELDED aluminium construction is employed on the latest Tippermatic bulk coal and grain tippers from Charrold of Huntingdon.
Until now nearly all the company's tipper bodies have been riveted and Hackbolted with steel sub-frame;.
Charrold claims th at with its integral alloy runne s the new design is more rigid n bending and torsion.
Heavier duty pan As are now used, mainly for the extra resistance to impa• t loads on coal carrying dutie! In spite' of this, the company claims that the tare weight is essentially unchanged.
Coinciding with the new method of body construction, Charrold has redesigned the chassis-mounted Tippermatic control box.
An electronic tachometer now indicates engine speed and a Morse cable is used for the hand throttle.
