| More heavy equipment in the lorry yard at Acton Works on 11th September 2021. WU64ATO on the left was new in October 2014 and is the oldest of the ten dustcarts in the current fleet. Comparison with the photo of newer LO66ZRC, also published today, shows that the bodywork and equipment fitted around the rear differs only in small details. On the right is a dropside lorry that is 2 months older, MAN TGM RK14ETU having been delivered in August 2014. This is one of two lorries allocated to the Lifts and Escalators section, who have always specified the fitting of extra large tail-lifts. Note that the tail-lift does not have vertical rails. It is instead supported by powerful hydraulic rams attached to the chassis in a similar way to the fold-away types seen on some of the other lorries. RK14ETU is often to be found parked in the small covered parking space under Griffith House, while sister RK14ETT (q.v.) is habitually kept at Frank Pick House in Acton. |
