Shelvoke & Drewry Refuse Collection Vehicle types.
This
page aims to offer guidance in recognising a Shelvoke & Drewry
refuse collection vehicle and arriving at an approximate manufacturing
date.
There are just five main types to consider:-
1. The Freighter and the Mark II version. In production 1922 – 1952
2. The New type 1937 - 1939
3. The ‘W’ type. In production 1946-1961
4. The ‘T’ type in production 1959 – 1972
5. The ‘N’ type in production 1972 - 1978
6. The ‘P’ type in production from 1978 until SD closed in 1991.
There
will have been some overlap between the start of production of a
newly introduced type and the end of the previous type.
