TARANCHEWER

Taranchewer

British Waterways' new toy, Taranchewer is a device for clearing floating rubbish.

One observer described it as "A sort of floating Swiss Army Knife".

The conveyor belt at the front lowers into the water when the machine is working, to collect the rubbish, and the operator's cab rises on hydraulic supports to give a good view.
