Look to Your Overheads
D. Wickham & Company Limited based in Ware are well known for their range of trolleys for track maintenance staff. This August 1957 advert promotes a tower trolley which they thought would be useful for tunnel, bridge and overhead electric maintenance. It could be driven from either end and had a choice of power unit, the normal was a Ford 85hp V-8 petrol engine but a 60hp diesel engine was an option. The engine also powered the hydraulics for the insulated elevating tower which had a fully rotatable platform.
