• Tyseiey Waste Disposal of Birmingham has taken its seventh Legras FMA (alternative moving floor) 91m3 (119yd3) Bulkliner trailer.

This one has several unusual features, including a hydraulic sliding roof which opens up the rear third of the roof space. The product is dropped in and then "walked" forward into the front of the trailer.

There's also a neat up-and

over tailgate with enclosed hoses and cylinders to prevent damage when loading or unloading. This operates manually via a hydraulic lever or electrically away from the rear of the vehicle and an automatic cut-out prevents the floor being activated while the door is closed.

Legras specialises in such trailers and currently manufactures eight a week at its Epernay, France factory.
