The Thwaites Dumper || Manuals
We've been through our archives again this week and found a few vintage Thwaites Dumper manuals! As our vintage manuals have been a hit in the past we have scanned all of them in so you can flip through them, they all include a spare parts list & even a manufacturers warranty (some of which remain intact in the books.) Click on the images to find out more.
Thwaites is a company that is synonymous for their production of high quality dumpers, originally founded in 1937 by Basil Thwaites as an Agricultural Engineering Company. The first Thwaites dumper was manufactured in 1951. A three wheeled machine, powered by a 6hp single cylinder Petter engine with a 10 CU Ft capacity. This machine was soon followed by a four wheeled dumper that was given the iconic name of "The Standard."
In 1954 the company became Thwaites Engineering Ltd when it dropped other areas of the business to focus on the growing popularity of dumpers. Thwaites dumpers were made to last, the fact that some are still being used today is proof that they stood the test of time! The dumpers were known for quality inside and out as Thwaites used the powerful and reliable Petter engines for their dumpers until the 1970/80's where they switched to Perkins, another well known brand.
Wyn found a selection of manuals for models including the Thwaites Jumbo dumper and the Orion! If you want to learn more about these dumpers then just click on the images to read the full manuals.
If flicking through these manuals has reminded you that you need a few spares for your dumper then head on over to our website to see our wide selection of dumper spares! Including dumper service parts, seats, mirrors and many more.
