There was a 6-ton on optional 17" wheels but I suspect from the rears the 16" wheels are seen here. A 7-ton short wheelbase truck was the smallest factory built tipper.

Sunbar ◊ 2021-02-13 13:12	Only idea that I had was a scrap metals truck for light but bulky items where skip hire was not practical. There could be a folded tarpaulin at the front I think. -- Last edit: 2021-02-13 13:13:14
