Details: Although essentially a standard dropside lorry, MAN TGS RV12OFK is quite a complicated bit of kit, as this photo taken at Acton Works on 11th September 2021 shows. A large Palfinger telescopic crane is fitted, which neatly folds away behind the cab. When the crane is in use, stabilisers under the front and rear of the bodywork would be extended and deployed. The rear axle is of the lifting type, which can be raised when not required, thus saving wear on the tyres and mechanical parts. Finally, there is a fold-away tail-lift under the rear of the bodywork (to allow this to be used, the doors at the rear of the body are hinged at the side). Parked alongside was hired DAF flatbed lorry NC14NDC in unmarked white.
