DESIGNED to fit all Land-Rovers with the exception of station wagons, a new tipping box manufactured by Adams and Benson (Agricultural), Ltd., West Bromwich, Staffs, provides easy and clean loading and unloading.
The box is rectangular and fits into the space between the longitudinal seats in the standard Land-Rover pick-up body without modification to the vehicle. It protrudcs over the end of the body for approximately half its length and can, therefore, be tipped by gravity about its point of balance. It can be fitted or removed in less than a minute without the use of tools and will carry up to 10 cwt. The tailboard can be opened from either the top or bottom and may be used to control the flow of bulk materials when tipping.
Known as the AB tipping and generalpurpose box, the unit is stated to be approved by the Rover Co., Ltd., and costs f19 10s. If required, a cage cover can be provided for the box to allow livestock to be carried in it, whilst side extensions and a waterproof tailboard are also available.
