The main frame is an I8in. deep by 6in. I-beam and the three 7.5-ton capacity axles which carry twin tyres are spaced at 4ft. 4in. centres; the cam actuated brakes are 12.5iri. diameter by 7in. wide in all cases. An unladen weight of about 7 tons is quoted for this model, complete with a special superstructure, 2ft. 6in. high sides and tilt and including lin. hardwood floor. Basic list price is quoted as £2,400.

The tandem-axle coil carrier is for use at 32 tons gross and has Rubery Owen 10-ton axles with 16.5 by 8.25in. cam brakes and 10.00-20 twin tyres.
