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.

    Vertical wall drops and the risk of wall cracking.

    Due to solid concrete floors I am having to chase out a couple of 22mm flow return vertical drops. Is there any risk of the wall cracking after plastering due to pipes expanding/contracting and if so what is the best way to avoid this happening.

    Water level in toilet pan drops

    Hi There, I'm a new plumber and have been asked about a toilet that flushes perfectly OK, but the water level in the pan decreases over a short time. There are no obvious leaks or smells coming from the toilet. Could anyone tell me what the likely cause is. Thanks.
