The first model of the detailed Shelvoke & Drewry
Freightlifter appeared in a British Rail (Western) livery and for our
second release on this distinctive fork lift, we have chosen another
British Rail livery, this time in the BR signature crimson colour scheme
with cream lettering.
The real life vehicle was first produced in 1952 for the London Brick
Company but its capabilities made it a popular choice by other sources,
including the railways and the Armed Forces. Our British Railways
replica is registered LLU 748 and features the optional Dualdrive
component. Note the British Railways totem on the sides in cream/crimson
and the SD Freightlifter logo on the rear of the forklift in bright
red/white.
