THE most interesting exhibit on this stand, is an exhibition vehicle consisting of an Albion tractive-unit and a Carrimore semitrailer. It has been produced for the MasseyFerguson organization. The second is a standard Carrimore car-transporter artic, towed by an Austin FFK-360 tractive-unit. Another transporter shown is a four-wheel rigid version, mounted on a FC14 Commer, which is designed for use with a drawbartrailer. A 17-cu.-yd., 8-ton tipping trailer is shown coupled to a Thames Trader equipped with a Scammell coupling and landing gear, the tipping gear being twin underfloor threestage rams by Anthony Hoist Ltd. The alloy body, which is of all-welded construction and can be tipped to an angle of 45°, is manufactured by Scammell and Nephew, who with Anthony Hoist are part of the Carrimore Group.
A new running gear, a set of which is at
present undergoing extensive road trials with the Mobil Oil Co. Ltd. (see The Commercial Motor, September 4), is displayed.
