[QUOTE=davy;222757]F.B.Atkins Foden S Type 1934 was fitted with a moving bed,not sure whether this was to facilitate tipping or a removable bed?
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.

Powered by good old 'mandraulic', winding a handle inserted onto the end of the roller shaft.
Not aware of what load was carried to be honest.

I notice my Photobucket account has managed to lose some of my photos. So I will put them back here.
