Glover, Webb & Liversidge MUSKETEER REAR LOADER The company's Musketeer employed a hopper-mounted Archimedes screw to compress the refuse, and was additionally sold under the Transport Engineering name. This system was later developed by Norba. With a simple loading mechanism and aluminum alloy bodies, Musketeers were economical machines, able to legally carry more refuse. The tailgate was raised by cables, which were tensioned by the body as it rises to tip the load. This eliminated yet more dead weight from the body. Musketeers could also be had with horizontal-discharge unloading, which necessitated stronger, all-steel construction. Tailgate is raised hydraulically, and elector plate moves incrementally forward in the body during the continuous loading operation. Bin-lifting equipment was easily adaptable to the Musketeer With two impeller screws and ejection unloading, the Musketeer TC delivered high compaction with high-speed loading. Impellers were driven by a rear-mounted double reduction gearbox. Over-running clutch protected unit from damage, which could be manually cranked in reverse in the event of a jam up.
