Man L2000 4x4,
here fitted out as a "spreader".
It's sitting on 445/65R22.5's - real tyres.
6x6 and 8x8 F2000 trucks
were also on the stand.

Mitsubishi Canter
4x4 Crew Cab aimed at small work-teams
would also make a good luxury motor-home conversion.

Right: The futuristic looking
Mack
Magnum semi-trailer tractor.
Small boys had hours of fun, swinging off the cab
to demonstrate its separate cab to chassis suspension.
Mack seems to be hedging its styling bets,
ranging from the traditionl to the retro-look to the ultra-mod'.

Left, you can see your face in the side:
Tipping B-doubles by Lusty (what's in a name?).
The front trailer can tip through a chute in its bogie, or
the bogie can be moved forward to shorten
the wheel base and to tip more freely.

A suspension unit for
ADI's
Bushmaster APC for the Australian Army.
Note the independent suspension by double wishbones and
that's a serious coil spring!

Left: a 1910
Saurer
(4x2) tipper with solid rubber tyres.
The tipping tray is elevated by muscle power applied
through two large screw jacks.
