Default Asplundh Style Tower/Tipper

Anyone got any pictures or places that build the Asplundh style trucks. I'm not talking about the actual ones I'm talking about our flat faced trucks with a tower and tipper on it. I saw one the other week on the other side of town and I really wanna see some others that are floating around. I remember seeing a small one from the UK, haven't been able to find it though. Any links/pics would be appreciated.

GMJ in Dandenong made a few 17 meter tele towers like your saying,Pain tipping the mulch out as you have to set the tower up get in it the air to dump the mulch.Good in theory type of thing.

I did here of one of these units going to Papua New Guinea with the back made into a storage unit,not much chipping going on there i guess.

That might have been the one I saw. It was down in Cheltenham. I couldn't get close enough to see it properly but it was a tele tower, with either a Vermeer or Rayco behind it.

Seen a picture of that Active one. Its on a 4x4 too. I also looked up the GMJ site but no pics. Found something from the UK though that looks promising.

I'm pretty sure this is the one I saw, definitely looks more awesome than the Asplundh trucks. This one is actually quite nice.
