No, not the one I wear behind closed doors, but rather the vehicle I saw yesterday; followed an artic bulk tipper with a Moffett on the back. Didn’t pay much attention to the Moffett tbh but I assume it had normal forks rather than a bucket, so can anyone shed any light on why you’d need a forklift attached to a tipper?
Just curious really.

Maybe for loading animal waste from small abatoirs and butchers.
No idea mate, but I am now very curious about the outfit you wear behind closed doors

Animal waste sounds like a good bet methinks.
As for my strange outfit I could post a pic but I’ve a feeling that would unleash a flurry of PM’s from Ricardo!

Not 100% sure but I think it may be to load waste paper bales and bales of woodshavings. Seen a few of Jenkys with them on hence my conclusion.

Didn’t get chance to clock the unit Pete, I caught him just after the hobby horse r/about Newark bound but sat behind him as I was coming off at the Melton turn off.
If it was a bathtub style tipper most likely fallen stock (dead farm animals) if it’s walking floor then usually waste card bales and the like, would be my guess.
On the other outfit issue I think the closed door might be a closet door and your outfit is arseless leather chaps.
I think OAD has just nailed it. It was a bathtub shape and that explanation makes perfect sense.
As for the leather gear I do have lots… But it mainly has Alpinestars written on it.
Oh well one out two ain’t too bad, can’t win 'em all.
weetos right, i was on abbatoirs not so long ago and one pulled up for the cows heads etc
Pump truck pallets on, moffett’s to load & unload, bulk t’other way.
Similar subject, the new poundland RDC at Harlow has some skellys with tail lifts. At first I thought it must be for demounts, but it only has twistlocks for a 40 foot box. I’ve never seen it before.
The waste food that gets returned for sending to biomass plants in is big bins (Dolovs) which are moved by pallet truck/forklift. They are emptied into a bulker by lifting above the sides of the trailer then rotating the bins through 180 degrees. Maybe the moffet has rotating forks?

Wincantonski has a few of them running out of Felixstowe.
