A DUAL-PURPOSE tanker-truck and a domestic fuel-oil tanker of glass-fibre are feature exhibits of the Always Welding stand. The first is mounted on a Ford D1000 chassis and the second on a Bedford KM chassis.
The tanker-truck is equipped with six collapsible liquid containers with a combined capacity of 2,500gal. After the containers have been collapsed a flat deck surface is provided that can be used to carry up to 10 tons of cargo. The collapsible bags are available in a range of materials suitable for a variety of different liquidS. Glass-fibre is used extensively in the construction of the body.
The glass-fibre fuel tanker also has a capacity of 2,500gal and is claimed to be ton lighter than a tanker of steel construction. Development of the tanker was facilitated by the lessons learned in building glass-fibre sludge gulpers.
