Sunbar ◊ 2017-11-08 14:05	In July 1948... "A scheme was now proceeding at the Temple Meads goods depot at Bristol, the largest covered accommodation of its type in this country, in which transship traffic, fed by slip conveyor to sorting pierheads, would be conveyed in unit loads to destination wagons by means of electric elevating platform trucks, working in conjunction with stillages." "The railways, he said, had already provided specially constructed stillage trucks to cater for 1-ton loads of tin plate on stillages" Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" Nothing found, as yet, to determine who manufactured the trucks eventually purchased. However the CM article goes on to say for maximum space utilisation stacking pallets vertically would require fork lift trucks, these evidently were not bought and freight was moved and stored mainly at ground level. This probably was proposed by Lansing Bagnall. -- Last edit: 2017-11-08 14:07:03

Sunbar ◊ 2017-11-08 14:35	dsl wrote Probably similar to the others but the only sighting of this different front. Agreed the same - listings combined.
dsl ◊ 2017-11-09 01:22	. Have opened up a page in A Future on Rail for another glimpse, also in Temple Meads, and probably same one as one of these.
Sunbar ◊ 2017-11-09 11:22	More on the history of Scott. The company manufactured and sold small electric trucks, the chief customer being British Railways which used them on railway platforms for the conveyance of baggage and light freight. Later they developed the self driving ‘Robotug’ guided by cables buried in the floor of warehouses. 1948 - Scott trucks initially built by Cradley Heath Manufacturing Co. 1950 - Incorporated on 6 January 1950 as a family concern with a factory in Kidderminster 1959 - Acquisition by the manufacturer of Conveyancer fork lift trucks Electro-Hydraulics Ltd. as Conveyancer-Scott Electric Vehicles Ltd 1971 - The Kidderminster factory and business was sold in 1971 and was centralised in Warrington. 1978 - The name was changed to Rubery Owen C-E Cast Ltd. part of Rubery Owen Holdings Ltd http://www.historywebsite.co.uk/articles/Darlaston/RO15.htm http://mrc-catalogue.warwick.ac.uk/records/RBO/CS Link to "warehousenews.co.uk" -- Last edit: 2017-11-09 11:40:25
