A NEW development designed to increase the payload capacity of its interchangeable bulk-feed body and flat-platform system has been announced by Tamplin Engineering.
Apart from the Wade blower installed in the chassis all the bulk-feed equipment, including the rotary feed valve and the tipping gear, is removed intact with the bulk body.
This leaves the vehicle unencumbered and makes for more load capacity when operating as a platform unit.
The new Tamplin bulk body is of huck-bolted aluminium alloy and is 6.52m (21ft 3 in) long, with 1.524m (5ft) high sides and a capacity of approxi mately 25.76cu m (920cu ft). It is fitted with 5EN Edbro front-end tipping gear and a three-piece tailboard with grain hatch.
The body is fitted to the chassis by twistlocks and removed by means of the Tamplin jack-leg system; it also has a full-length catwalk to facilitate the on and off handling of the sheet.
