A STEEL-BARREL-SCAMMELLS lightweight steel body having a capacity of 11 cu.yd. is of special interest on this stand because its form of construction eliminates the necessity for side stiffness while providing a high section modulus. It is mounted on an Albion Riever chassis and is elevated by an Anthony/Autolifts S16FC heavy-duty single-ram front-end tipping gear which weighs 5cwt and has a lifting capacity of 18 tons. The body is insulated with glass fibre and is clad in ribbed aluminium.
A heavy-duty version of the SBS light weight body with side stiffeners and underfloor bearers is exhibited on a Ford DT 800 chassis. This has a capacity of 10 cu.yd. and is also elevated by an Anthony/Autolifts S16FC gear.
The third exhibit is an SBS 9 cu.yd. lightweight steel body, elevated by an S16FC gear, which is mounted on a Bedford KMS chassis. Payload of the vehicle is 10+ tons.
