either way very early for the innovation.

It is fitted with a 'Principality' moving bed, manufactured in Cardiff.
It's like a large conveyor belt, which discharges the load out the back of the lorry.
The matching trailer which goes with it also has the same moving bed.
Thanks for that Trystan, so its not a tipper,wonder what powered it especially the trailer & what load would require the innovation.
