Palletcap, the bright yellow cone used to protect vulnerable freight, is about to play a part in the relief of suffering in Africa.
Normally used to protect vulnerable freight, the bright yellow warning cone turned out to be just as effective in preserving the drivers' modesty.
The 'Hub Hunks' calendar has been produced as part of a campaign by Palletways, in association with the charity Everyman, to 'drive out male cancer'.
This year Palletways has pledged to raise GBP100,000 for the charity, with the support of its 100-plus UK membership.
Hayley Shirley, managing director of Palletcap, said: "We are delighted to see Palletcap being used for such a good cause.
