• York Trailer's range of van bodywork has been extended with the addition of a series of Luton Metrovan models.
In their method of construction the new Lutons follow the established boxvan design developed by York over several years, using jigs which simplify panel replacements in the event of damage. Ribbed alloy panelling is used on a rigid aluminium frame. The Luton head is supported by a pair of cantilevered runners built into the side panels extending rearwards to pick up on the main body side posts.
Provision for raising tilt-cabs is made with the option of a hinged flap in the front panel of the Luton. The flap is held open by a pair of stays.
