drops

The Demountable Rack Offload and Pickup System (DROPS) is a family of logistics vehicles operated by the British Army, which consists of two vehicle types:

Leyland DAF medium mobility load carrier (MMLC)
Foden improved medium mobility load carrier (IMMLC)Both are able to transport 15-tonne flatracks or containers configured to ISO 20 feet standard and to load and offload them autonomously. Both may be supported with side rail transfer equipment (SRTE) for loading and unloading railway wagons.
The DROP system was designed to meet the very high intensity battles in Central Europe in the last decade of the Cold War. However it entered service after the collapse of the Warsaw Pact but nevertheless proved a versatile vehicle system on operations completely different from those originally envisaged.

    10mm pipes drops

    If for some reason you can't drop 10mm pipes for rads behind the plaster in the corner of a room. Do most plumbers seem it acceptable to put the drops further in to the room? With the back boxes don't they drop down the centre of the rad?
