BEDFORD offers a last-minute surprise exhibit at the Motor Show in its 16 ton TL which has a low platform of only 914mm (36in).
The TL 1630 has Norde rubber suspension as a special vehicle option if this is preferred to the conventional leaf springs.
The rubber suspension was chosen as its low deflection under load compared with the leaf spring type allowing the unladen platform to be lowered by several inches.
The Show vehicle is powered by the Bedford 8.2-litre Blue Series turbocharged engine driving through an Allison MT 653 automatic gearbox which is also available to special order.
