• Joloda has supplied the first of three vehicles to be equipped with a specially developed invehicle nine-lane loading and handling system to carry toxic industrial waste.
Based on Joloda's movingfloor design, the system has been installed on three levels for use by Pedersen, a Danish based waste disposal contractor.
Each of the three lanes per level can take up to 10 purposebuilt IBSCs (standard European sized containers). A 600kg highcolumn lift at the rear of the body incorporates a folding fork arrangement to lift the IBSCs and reduce handling to a minimum.
The system is powered by the vehicle's own battery pack and all electrics are installed to the international IP63 standard, allowing the moving floor to be hosed down.
The system is mounted on Mercedes-Benz 2235 six and eight-wheel chassis — the 8x2 incorporates an unusual rear steer, drive and lift tag axle layout.
