Glover, Webb & Liversidge

DUAL-TIP FORE AND AFT TIPPER




In the post-war period Glover Webb's product line was expanded to include their version of the fore & aft tipper, named the Dual-Tip. This followed the FAUN design, and was similar to the Shelvoke & Drewry F & A tipper, but did not have the latter's subframe, relying instead on channels attached to the body for forward tipping.

With no packing mechanism, Dual-Tip could accept anything that would fit through the rear aperture







In addition to hand-loaded household collections, the Dual-Tip could also be used for commercial stops. The video above shows how a standard Palladin bin is emptied; the bin is first coupled to an aperture in the rear gate, then the body is tipped forward allowing the contents to fall in, an consolidating the load in the forward end.
