Rollalong Ltd., Southampton Road, Ringwood, Hants.

AN hydraulically lifted swop body, a fourpost 8-ton gantry and a 12-ton universal gantry are shown by this company, both the gantries being hydraulically operated and mounted on castored wheels. The lift-off system was first introduced in May of this year and features locating cones mounted on two cross-bearers that give a tolerance of about 6in. in each direction for positioning the body. Four built-in hydraulic jacking legs are supplied by a pump that may be manually or power operated. the pump being of the "split" type which ensures that the jacks on both sides lift an equal amount. Lightweight detachable legs are used to support the body after demounting.

The 8-ton gantry is specially designed for demounting swop bodies at the rear of a warehouse or supermarket. A 20-ton version of the 12-ton gantry is available that is designed for handling ISO containers.
