• The latest addition to the all-Edbro tipper fleet of Kingscliffe Super Refractories Ltd, of Sheffield, will accomplish in one trip what was recently done in two, by a 16-ton gvw machine. A 32-ton gvw outfit, it comprises a Volvo F8 638 149in. wheelbase 16-tonner and a Dyson 4-wheel drawbar trailer with a total payload capacity of 214tons.
Used to carry sand and other refractory materials on outward journeys, and clay on return trips, it has fixed-sided welded alloy bodies built by the Welmech Engineering Ltd, of Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, which has also fitted Edbro twin-ram tipping assemblies.
The Volvo has an Edbro 4LNS gear to tip the 13 ft-long Welmech body; the trailer has an Edbro 4CAN gear and a 15ft 9in. body. Three-way diverter valves on the motive unit enable the drawbar trailer to be either pushed or pulled.
