TWO of the three Dunnspencer animalfeed/grain bulk vehicles shown are of the pneumatic-discharge type and are equipped with the company's hydraulically driven one-piece vibrating hopper, which is exhibited for the first time and ensures the complete clearance of material from the interior of the body. One of the bodies is a Bulk& Junior which is of light-alloy single-skin construction and has a capacity of 600 cu.ft.; it is mounted on a Seddon 13/4 chassis of 176in.-wheelbase and equipped with a rotary seal of 8in.-diameter, an X420 blower, full power take-off and Edbro 4LNS tipping gear.

The second body is also of light alloy but is of double-skin construction and has a capacity of 850 cu.ft. This is based on an Albion Reiver RE29BN chassis and features an Edbro 4LN tipping gear and full power take-off.

The third exhibit, a rigid bulker body, is mainly of single-skinned light-alloy but has twin centre-opening wrap-around doors of double-skin construction located above the tailboard. A heavy-duty floor provides for the carriage of sacked as well as bulk loads.
