THE first swop-body version of the Lawrence David insulated curtainsider has been put into service by Worcester transport operator Rick White.
Roller-sider curtains contain a 12mm (1/2in) flexible polyurethane foam insulation which is additional to roof, floor, bulkhead and door insulation.
A diesel-powered Thermo King refrigeration unit keeps fresh produce at an ideal chilled temperature just above freezing between 1.5 and 2.5 degrees C. but it can maintain freezing temperatures if required. For this swop-body application the underframe is made compatible with Roy Smith demount equipment on nine vehicles.
The insulated Roller-Sider is a logical development for Rick White which already operates conventional Lawrence David Trac-Cass curtain siders collecting from 500 growers and delivering to supermarket outlets down the western side of Britain.
