LCVT Side Tipping Beavertail Shortlisted for Awards at Groundsfest

The LCVT side tipping beavertail has been shortlisted for the Groundsfest and HortWeek Innovation Awards at this year’s Groundsfest Show.

The innovative combination side tipper/beavertail offers the obvious solution to the Grounds Maintenance sector when wanting to maximise vehicle utilisation throughout the year and trying to recruit drivers who have the necessary classification on their licence to tow a trailer, to move mowers and equipment to site.

The body has been designed to fit all mainstream chassis cabs with body lengths available from 3,500mm to 4,500mm. The sub frame attaches to the designated pick up points on the chassis and is a combination of Aluminium and Stainless Steel to ensure weight is kept to a minimum while giving structural strength where needed.

The floor of the vehicle is a key feature of the design; strength and durability were pre-requites , therefore an aluminium extruded plank was designed and produced with a perforated surface which offers exceptional grip to both machinery and operatives, while combining the strength and durability necessary. The floor also allows water to drain off any equipment or general waste being carried.
