THE novel moving-bulkhead discharge system I developed by Murfitt Bulk Transporters Ltd. of Wisbech has been used on two bodies recently built by the company for quite different applications.
One body is mounted on a Leyland Octopus lightweight rigid eight-wheeler for Russell of Bathgate Ltd. and is used to transport malt, mainly for Associated British Maltsters Ltd. and the Distillers Co. Ltd.; it is the first of Murfltes moving-bulkhead types to be sold north of the border.
The second moving-bulkhead application is on a flour transporter mounted on a Crane Fruehauf 20-ton tandem-axle semi-trailer chassis; this is hauled by a Gardner-mounted E.R.F. and is used by Jordan's of Biggleswade for daily deliveries to Macfarlane Lang's biscuit factory at Reading.
