• A Seddon Atkinson 16tonner has been built to cater for the growing use of standard-sized containers in furniture removals. Its 4,267mm box body has two pairs of full-height, side-access doors, with rear doors which open to a drop well. A false floor above the rear well can also give a full-length flat deck. Normally, five of the 8.38m3 containers can be carried without stacking in the 55m3 body. Pictured (above) is the first Seddon Atkinson in the eightstrong fleet of Reads of Peterborough. Swan Trucks of Hitchin supplied the chassis and Alloy Transport Bodies of Manchester built the body and sleeper pod.
