In our issue dated February 3rd of last year we gave brief details of a vehicle constructed by the Associated Equipment Co., Ltd., for carrying mixed produce for Messrs. Frank Reeve and Son, of Peasmarsh, Sussex, and we are now able to reproduce illustrations on this page showing the class of load which the Vehicle is called upon to carry.
In one picture it will be seen that a number of sheep is beIng carried in two tiers, whilst in the other a big load of hops is being dealt with. So
.that a mixed load can be carried, the body is fitted with a detachable platform, built in three sections, between the bottom of the light iron grids and the top of the wooden rail. The platform is fitted with folding iron supports and is suitably secured to prevent side movement. By the use of this platform an average of 60 lambs can be carried on each platform. The lower parts of the sides of the body are not solid, so that adequate ventilation is provided for the animals on the lower tier.
Prom the picture showing the vehicle carrying hops, it will be seen that the iron grids are extended over the driver's canopy, thus enabling hops to be carried well forward.
