EUCLID DUMPER

Corgi No.42 Euclid Dumper

For the heaviest work on the most uneven sites, the Dump Truck is the answer to the civil engineer's problem. Built somewhat on the lines of a military vehicle that is intended to used off the road, the dumper has very deep chassis members, a Diesel engine developing at lease 120 h.p. and a 5 - or 6 speed gearbox to give flexibility under load. The all-steel tipper body is specially shaped to load and unload rapidly, rectangular bodies tend to retain a small but significant part of a difficult loads, such as wet sand. The dump truck driver is protected from debris during loading by a robust plate extending from the body over the cab.
