• A fly-ash treatment plant at Widnes, Lanes, is the first of a network of such installations now being set up by the Australian company Pozzolanic (Pty) Ltd. The treated material, used in the construction industry, is being hauled by a fleet of 20 articulated powder tanks, the first of which has just gone into service.

Each 33ft-long semi-trailer tank is built by Yorkshire Engineering and Welding Co Ltd, of Bradford. The all-steel 1300cu ft nontipping tank incorporates four hopper discharge cones in the lower surface.

In Australia, Pozzolanic operates about 150 artics hauled by Mercedes-Benz LPS 1418 tractive units: 20 such machines being ordered initially for UK operation.

All the new Mercedes-Yewco tanks are being supplied through Mercedes truck dealer Harrison Bros. (Commercials) Ltd, of Rotherham, Yorks, and will be operated at 32 tons gcw under the colours of Aztec Bulk Lines, Pozzolanic's bulk haulage subsidiary.
