Before you look at the advantages of GRP construction, consider the benefits of the van itself.
The York Freightmaster GRP has the finest pedigree you could wish for.
Not only did York pioneer the frameless semi-trailer van in the U.K., but they built the first frameless GRF' van as well.
So with the York Freightmaster GRP you get the unique double benefit of operating the most successful semi-trailer van on the road with laminated wall construction.
Let's look further.
Basically it's a Freightmaster: Maximum cube within given limits gives extra payload.
It's chassisless so there's both a weight saving and extra usable height within the EEC 4 metre restriction.
York's raised rear header and slim door pillars allow loading to full height and width.
A sturdy laminated floor with "1" beam crossmembers at 12 "centres allows you to load with a forklift right inside the van. There's a one-piece aluminium roof with rivets outside the cargo area, plus container-style double doors which keep your load protected from the elements and pilferage.
Then there's the York suspension — with cost-cutting benefits.built in — the easy rolling benefits that York have pioneered over the years to keep fleet costs to a minimum.
Plus all the other features that have made the Freightmaster the EEC's most popular semi-trailer van.
A shining example of the benefits of GRP: The side walls are single sheet 18nun GRP panels that shrug off knocks and scrapes. And inside, there's over 8 feet of usable width.
The glass smooth finish cleans with a wipe both inside and out. There are no projections on the interior walls to snag cargo and trap dirt.
You cannot get a more hygienic van than a GRP Freightmaster.
One stop deal: Only York can offer all the advantages of the Freightmaster with the cleanliness of GRP It's also a "one stop deal': One warranty, one manufacturer, and a service network of 12 factory branches in key locations throughout the country to offer service, repairs and parts to keep your Freightmaster on the road longer.
