AT the 1966 Show this company exhibited a lightweight container designed for easy demounting when unladen. This year a demountable-body system is displayed which enables the body to be handled when fully laden with the aid of built-in handoperated jacks. A 1,130 cu.ft. demountable body is shown in conjunction with two lightalloy tipper bodies and the combined projects represent a new departure for the concern. The demounting system can be applied to any type of body.
An 8 cu.yd. aluminium tipper body is of the fixed-sided type and is shown mounted on a Bedford KMR chassis with a wheelbase of 132in. and is elevated by a single-ram _ front-of-body gear. A welded-steel subframe is employed and this also applies to a 9 cu.yd insulated body on an AEC Mercury chassis designed for carrying hot tarmacadam and discharging direct into a BarberGreene surfacing machine. It has an internal length of 14ft.
