Ronway Engineering Co Ltd, Manor Works, Western Road, Southall, Middlesex.
Ronway offers a wide range of demountable equipment through its agent, Locomotor. Systems range from those suitable for longwheelbase versions of the Bedford CF or Ford Transit van up to maximum gross weight artics. The rigid vehicle system, known as the Uni-load is a chassis mounted electro hydraulic jack system. A range of body lengths is available but 20ft is popular as these can be carried on a 40ft semi-trailer using Ronway's Multi-load system. The bodies are fully interchangeable and the two systems are ideally suited for the trunking and delivery role. The colour illustration shows a Multi-load semi-trailer. To pick up two bodies the trailer is reversed under the first one, a lifting frame raises the body level with the front end of
the semi-trailer and the body is then winched forward on rollers and locked. The second body or container is then picked up in the same way on the rear half of the semi-trailer. The Uni-load system uses a fifth-wheel as a body lock and a special feature is the very generous vee-shaped lead-in slot which centres up the rear of the body. (Illustration in colour introduction.)
