AS well as the Benes Marrell skip loading equipment featured by Aero Maintenance Equipment Ltd. at the Mechanical Handling Exhibition (see pages 44-49), the concern also showed examples of Benes Marrell Ampli-lift tipping gears which it is to market in the U.K.
Models to be offered include types suitable for fourand six-wheel tippers and tipping semi-trailers. The Ampli-Lift design has a ram and strut assembly located between the underside of the body and a carriage which slides in a subframe mounted on the vehicle chassis. This means that the need for strengthened chassis sidemembers is eliminated as these are not stressed during the tipping operation. Demonstrations of the tipping gears are to be held later.
