Milk tankers are a common sight on our highways, but have you ever thought about the challenges they face to ensure our milk is delivered safely? NTI's Adam Gibson takes us on a journey inside the milk tanker in this eye-opening video. The sloshing of liquid inside a tanker can be incredibly powerful and unexpected, as anyone who has touched the brakes at 100km/h on a tanker full of molasses with broken baffles can attest. This video shows just how much motion and force the milk inside the tanker experiences when navigating bends on the road, making it clear why safety features are so important. Even with all the safety features in place, the forces at play can still make it difficult for a milk tanker to remain stable. So next time you see a milk tanker on the road, take a moment to appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into ensuring our milk is delivered safely.

🚚 Did you know? Trailer brakes weren't always a standard feature! It wasn't until the 1950s that hydraulic brakes became common, transforming towing safety. Before that, trailers relied solely on the towing vehicle's brakes, leading to some nerve-wracking stops! Safety has come a long way, and we're proud to provide modern trailer parts for smoother journeys. #TrailerHistory #SafetyFirst #FunFact 🛣️

Our Stabilisers get there fair share of kudos when talking stabilisation but an equally important piece to the process are our Spreader Trucks that drop binder at the specified rate - accuracy - safety and dependability Streumaster leads the way our all wheel drive units can take us places others dare to go. #Downertransportinfrastructure

♻️ The rail industry has a long history of repurposing equipment and materials from well before the rise of recycling or green initiatives. 🌳 🚉 The Class 442 Wessex Electrics were built in 1988 with Mark 3 car bodies, but reused traction motors and control gear from withdrawn 1960s stock, a practice common on Southern Region electrics since after the war. 🛠️ In more recent times, operator and lessor collaborated to extend the life cycle of older Class 47 diesel locomotives by fitting new equipment to create a fleet of Class 57 locomotives. Today, such innovations continue as Class 56 locos are being transformed into the Class 69 with 12-cylinder EMD 12N-710G3B-T2 engines, similar to those used in more modern Class 66 locomotives. 🌟 At #EnProUK we take great pride in cleaning the driving cabs of these locomotives to maintain a pleasant environment for GBRf traincrew. ✨ 😊 🎨 Interestingly, whilst some Class 69s carry a variant of GBRf’s livery, many members of the class are being delivered in heritage liveries from the 1960s to 1980s era of British Rail. The newest, 69009 named WESTERN CONSORT, sports British Rail Western Region maroon with Swindon-style number and nameplates.🌟 This celebrity of the class will be a special guest hauling passenger trains at the Severn Valley Railway Spring Diesel Gala from Thu 16-May next month! https://buff.ly/3vj8Wtd #RailIndustryHistory #GBRF #Innovation #SVRDieselGala #TrainPresentation #QualityService
