Road construction materials spreading vehicle
When spreading aggregate material onto a layer of bitumen/wet bitumen, when forming a road surface, it is common to spread the aggregate material from a truck that is reversing. This practice is now considered dangerous as it has resulted in accidents and injuries. The present invention seeks to improve the safety of such operations by providing a spreading vehicle that can be driven in the direction in which it is spreading the aggregate material. This is achieved by providing a second driving cab and driver controls at a location that would normally be considered the rearward end of the vehicle. The second driver cab is situated above a conveyor system which conveys aggregate material from a hopper of the vehicle to a spreader box. The second driver cab allows the vehicle to be driven in the direction that it is spreading material, by a driver who is facing the direction of travel, and who can see if the vehicle is about to hit anything or run into a worker in the surrounding area.
