Among George Neville's five Tipcon exhibits was this aluminium Samson-bodied semi-trailer on an RO-R steelsuspended tri-axled bogie.

The 26.8m3 sloping, hoopsupported body is intended for carrying chalk aggregate and ballast. To prevent sag and minimise the rippling effect on the metal body lining as the load is dropped in, short longitudinal support sections are featured between each rib.

Curved body sides are of one-piece, rolled aluminium or steel and are formed without seams, but the corners are welded and look unsightly by comparison. With Hyva tipping gear the trailer weighs 5,500kg.

A heavy-duty steel-bodied version is also offered for carrying scrap metal, rubble and rocks.
