Bonallack Refrigerated Vehicles Ltd., Paycocke Road, Basildon, Essex.
THE two Bonallack Coldsaver refrigerated vehicles shown by this company comprise a 1,655 cu.ft. van on a CraneFruehauf semi-trailer and a 500 cu.ft. retaildelivery van on a Bedford KE chassis. Two Coldsaver ISO 2011 containers are also displayed which are designed for refrigeration by the ship's plant at sea and by a clip-on forced convection unit on land.
Of light-alloy construction, the vehicle bodies are insulated with polyurethane in slab form. The semi-trailer van is refrigerated by ice bunkers suspended from the roof which provide for deliveries of up to 48h, while the second vehicle is equipped with a Prestcold AS 300L holdover refrigerating plant having six Winget eutectic plates. The g.v.w. of the trailer-outfit, when coupled as shown to a Leyland Beaver tractive unit, is 30 tons which gives a payload of 18+ tons.
The Coldsaver containers are insulated with 3in. of polyurethane vapour-sealed on both inner and outer surfaces. Each has a capacity of 942 cu.ft. and is rated to carry 20 tons.
