Whitlock Brothers Limited

Whitlock Brothers Limited

Whitlock Brothers limitata era una società con sede a Great Yeldham in Essex e sono stati fondata nei primi mesi del 1899. La società ha costruito la Dinkum Digger loader in licenza da l'inventore uno scozzese, Robert Ewan, da Fife. Il Dinkum era un accessorio per terne per trattori Fordson e Ferguson. Successivamente sono stati il Dinkum 60 e il Dinkum Major costruiti su un'unità base Fordson Major . Una soluzione simile, adottata in ugual misura da Bray , Weatherhill e molte altre macchine edili britanniche, rende le terne e gli escavatori che offrivano.

Questo produttore non deve essere confuso e non aveva collegamenti con un'altra azienda con lo stesso nome chiamata The Whitlock Automobile Company Limited che costruiva taxi e veicoli leggeri di tipo automobilistico che erano attivi a Cricklewood Broadway a Londra, in Inghilterra dal 1905 al 1910 con un altro ritorno in 1924 ma poi chiuso durante la Grande Depressione del 1930.

Furono esportati in Australia, nel 1958 furono importati e venduti dal loro agente Lougth Equipment PTY. [1]

Hanno anche iniziato a costruire un primo ADT all'inizio del 1954 chiamato Whitlock DD95 basato su un trattore Fordson . Il dumper era un'unità da 11 tonnellate con un trattore da 95 CV con cambio manuale 6F + 2R. È stata costruita anche una versione a bassa potenza, il Whitlock DD75 . Più tardi, nel 1963, arrivò il modello di dumper idrostatico Whitlock DD105 4WD con un motore trasversale da 105 CV e una capacità di 12 tonnellate e poteva avere una trasmissione dell'asse posteriore collegabile o entrambi gli assi azionati. Questo non era un grande venditore, ma era considerato molto in anticipo sui tempi, proprio come altre aziende britanniche come Bray, Camill e Northfield che in seguito introdussero prodotti simili. [2]

L'azienda Whitlock è stata rilevata nel 1972 da Powell Duffryn , proprietario della società Hymac , per 1,2 milioni di sterline. Un'altra società di ingegneria chiamata Merton Engineering Co. Limited che costruiva anche caricatori basati su Ford faceva parte dell'operazione Powell Duffryn essendo stata acquisita da Hymac intorno al 1970. I modelli di pala caricatrice furono commercializzati come Whitlock-Merton per un certo periodo sotto la divisione Hymac di Powell Duffryn. [3]

The Whitlock backhoe-loader range was incorporated into the Hymac line-up model range too to complement the 360 excavator range of original Hymac design and production. All Whitlock manufacturing was moved to the Hymac factory at Rymmny in Wales in the mid 1970s and the site taken over by the new Volvo UK operation. This marked the end of Whitlock Brothers Limited, and by 1976 Whitlock had left the construction and earthmover machinery within months.[4]

The company in the 1940s was involved in building early on farm grain storage silos. These were introduced following a visit to Canada by Mr Charlton Whitlock were he saw the silos built of timber. The tall Canadian designs being adapted to UK conditions and refined by trial and error.[5] The shrinkage gaps in the timber structure also allowed air to circulate, whereas the later steel paneled silos tended to suffer from sweating, till ventilated /perforated panels were added.
