PROVIDING the current strike has been resolved, Ford is to exhibit four vehicles at the 1978 Public Works Exhibition, at the NEC on November 13.
A 190 Transit chassis cab is to be shown fitted with a Ray Smith swap-body system.
The particular body to go on display is a mobile workshop destined for the Yorkshire Electricity Board, which was built by Service Garage (Brighouse) Ltd.
Location of the body at the front is automatic, while twist locks secure it at the rear.
A York 2.4-litre diesel — an optional• extra — powers the Transit.
The York unit is also fitted in an A0506 chassis cab kitted out for the Public Works with a Hy-Lift hydraulic platform.
Built by Harrison Access of Penryn, Cornwall, the Hy-Lift has a maximum extension of 10m (32.8ft) and has full 360 deg stewing either side.
To secure the platform during any type of movement, it is equipped with levelling legs.
The control and positioning of the platform is fully hydraulic with an automatic blocking system, making it impossible to position the platform beyond safe working limits.
Two D-Series, both 01614s, make up the rest of the proposed Ford exhibits. One is fitted with a Vactor 810 JetRodder built by Vactor Ltd of Winkleigh, Devon. The second will have a Telehoist CH503 Load Lugger demountable container handling system. • With a lifting capacity of 12,193kg (12 tons) the maximum bucket content is 12cum (16cuft).
