The second in a short series of in-cab rides with Derbyshire haulier Peter Brownlee's ERF E14, 400, filmed back in January 1989, although there isn't much in-cab in this one, nether the less it show what life was life like in the bulk tipper game some 25 years ago.
Showing the stock ground at Ratcliffe Power Station, Nottinghamshire. Low grade coal brought in by road would be tipped as shown, then a fleet of bowl motor scrapers would transfer it to the stock pile or straight into the feed hopper built at ground level, the coal then moved by conveyor to the furnaces.
