There is a small crane behind the cab I believe - can just see the yellow top - I remember seeing this at Hove open day in the late 80s, but can't really remember what it had on the back as it was parked in the corner out of the way.

Jon is correct, there is a crane behind the cab which was used to remove the pods. They ran with 2 sets of pod/containers. Foam, branches and an inline round the pump proportioner and the other set carried salvage equipment. Well that is what we had at The Ridge running sister Bedford TL.
