Glover, Webb & Liversidge TYPE 202 LOADMASTER REVOLVING-BLADE REAR LOADER In 1975 the Company moved to Hamble, near Southampton, where refuse collection vehicle production continued under the shortened moniker of Glover Webb Ltd., with later bodies simply badged as Glovers. The 202 Load Master was a compression loader similar to Shelvoke & Drewry's Revopak. It was offered on SD, Dennis, Leyland or Dodge chassis. Loadmaster's packer plate was chain driven, and unlike rival Revopak, utilized a closed plate instead of the tine rake favored by S & D. Packing cycle was continuous, with ejection unloading.

These vehicles were fitted with a Granning lift axle enabling their gross weight limits to be raised to 19,000KG. Livery is that of Worcester City Council and the picture was taken in their depot.

The green Loadmaster truck shown is one of the two vehicles in my previous photo taken at Worcester City Council - Yes, they did initially paint them to the wrong colour! - Courtesy of Phil Clifford - The company continues in production specialising in high security vehicles, but no longer offers refuse collection vehicles. A valuable source of information about Glover, Webb and Liversidge has been a booklet the company produced in 1970 to celebrate 250 years of their existence. 1/17/10 © 2010 Eric Voytko and Brian Carpenter All Rights Reserved Photos from factory brochures/advertisements except as noted Logos shown are the trademarks of respective manufacturers
