been continuously developed through the years
to combine superb performance with ease of
operation and outstanding reliability. These
units are used by many leading truck manufacturers

lorry cranes, liquid and powder road tankers,
demountable bodies, refuse compactors and skip
loader applications.

by Webster Drives. This feature gives each customer
application simple push button control, improved
safety, increased efficiency and flexibility
together with the elimination of gear damage.
The PTO range is enhanced

and vehicle technology to design and develop
a range of bespoke transmissions comprising
