Raising the roof the answer to foaming at the mouth

The problem of squeezing a "quart into a pint pot", in this case flexible foam for the furniture, bedding and automotive industries, has been neatly solved by raising the roof of this trailer belonging to flexible foam manufacturers Harrison and Jones of floyton, Lancs.
For loading, the trailer roof is raised by eight hydraulic rams, thus allowing 45 blocks of foam, instead of the norma118 blocks, to be loaded. The roof is then lowered, compressing the foam blocks into the trailer. For unloading the roof is raised again to allow the blocks to be more easily removed.
The 12m trailer was built by the Dutch based PAD Euro foam Corporation, with which Harrison and Jones are associated. A Volkswagen 1100 cc engine is used to provide power for the hydraulic system.
