tHREE refrigerated swop Indies have been ordered by :he North of Scotland Milk Marketing Board to add to ts fleet of Abel Systems' lemountable vehicles, The bodies are being eon;tructed by Gray and Adams pf Fraserburgh, Scottish iistributors of Abel iemountables and will be _Bed to extend the Board's Inmanned depot distribu[ion system which was ntroduced almost three ears ago.
Fitted with Hubbard 1100 mains electric reefer units; he bodies will be 6m (20 ft) averall with a 10 ton payLoad. They will incorporate he ISO-type twist lock 3ystem of body retention and will be fitted with control valves to govern the height )f lift and to cut out in the .went of overloading.
The bodies are con&wed from aluminium panels with pressed steel and hardwood frames. Insulation is provided by 10cm Polyurethene sheet to ;ive operating temperatures of between 2°C and 3.3°C (36°F and 38°F). Distances between the processing plants and unmanned depots aresuch that in-transit refrigeration is not required and the units are connected to amains supply on arrival.
Single doors will be fitted to each side of the body units and there will be no front or rear access. These are designed for the loading positions at the processing plants which demand that bodies are positioned sideon to the loading areas. On occasions, two bodies are placed side-by-side with doors open so that they can be loaded simultaneously even with the limited access: The North of Scotland Milk Marketing Board has been using demountables for almost three years. It replaced an articulated transport system and was se.)ected to cut operating and equipment purchasing costs.
