Yes, I would say it’s a Bison, the Bear was also a 6legger double drive but I think it was discontinued by that time, I know they made rigid Buffalos but I think they were 4x2 drawbar motors never saw a DD 6 legger.

Never saw any of these operating up this way,looks a strange setup to me.
Cheeers Dave.there is one of them neville trailers in a shed no 2 miles from my house, it will be entering the vintage show scene in the future, i may get the job of sandblasting it when we get some better weather!
Nothing to do with this Neville combination but IIRC Bedfords built in the late 60’s,in house,a double drive KM 6 wheeler Tipper/haulage chassis and from memory it had heavier double drive axles,were they Bedford axles or were they “bought in”,who’s make were they? Cheers Bewick.
hej bubble ,sisu tryed to sell that in germany ,but they got it back,multilift on otherhand is big in changers,now cargotec owns lot of trademarks in europe 
There was another company also made Dump trailers like HOYNER and NEVILLE they were from Bellshill I think and were called HYDRA-TIP or something like that I wondered if they were made by HYDRA-CON who made the lorrie mounted cranes as the name was much the same maybe some one else would know.
The Dump trailers were fairly common in the Lothian area as both McLucas and Griffith used them I was on for the Coal Board and we had
a tractor type much the same idea it was called a CAMMIL and was a Fordson with the front axle removed and a hitch on the back with a trailer exactly the same set up as the road version we used it to take spoil that came up the mine out on to the bings and this thing was great in the clay and was fitted with a trailer brake which when tipped if it was a bit sticky trying to get out empty just apply the brake and let the body down and it in turn shoved the front out. Eddie.

Hiya i,ve just found this McLucas photo is it the same firm Eddie??the photo belongs to (v8.jimmy rocknroll motors)
not a very good photo as i took it of the computer.we were running limestone dust from Longcliffe quarry to Alowa
glass factory in the 70s with these lads.
John
Ive tried to resize the photo i,ll see what happens
I had a D-series Ford (28 ton gross) with a tandem axle bulk tipper version. When dropping the trailer you had to remember to insert two pins to prevent the turntable/tipping ram dropping to the floor! as long as the trailer was on level ground, they were superb to tip- you had the option of either applying the trailer brake and tipping your load on the spot (into a hopper, for instance) or setting the unit’s handbrake whereupon the body would creep forward as it tipped.
Simples.
I also had a much longer Hoynor chassis with a Rothdean aluminium bulk body which was considerably lighter than the shorter, steel-bodied Neville version.

My last post refers to this thread, of course. Been away from the computer for so long I’ve forgotten how to work the bl**dy thing!
Hi Paul,
I bought quite a bit of stuff of Truck King a few years ago. CB’s and twigs,also lights and other stuff.Always used to have their catalogue,still have some kicking about.
Cheers Dave.
Aye John thats the same firm I dont know wheather they are still on the go or not. The quality o the photo does’nt matter it’s the memories they bring back I think. Eddie.
Re Truck King, I confess to buying “Foden Scarves” and chrome ■■■■ ladies. The ladies were on spring things that bobbed about in the windscreen. I got fed wih them after a while and glued them onto the grille.
I also bought a “■■■■■■■ power” grille badge too…and an England flag…
