• Welford Truck Bodies of Warley, West Midlands has developed a pneumatic pile driving rig for placing posts and columns. It is also claimed to be suitable for motorway crash barrier installation and maintenance.
The first rig is now in operation with Hereford and Worcester County Council, fitted to a Leyland Freighter 1615 chassis with a steel dropside body. It features a Welford-Pesci P666 loader which gives a 5,700kg lift.
The pile driver extends from the side of the vehicle, folding back between the cab and the body when not in use.
