An unusual feature of a 7.3m insulated body by Truck Bodies is its asymmetric rear doors, with a wide, dabble-hinged door on the offside. Also unusual is the underslung Petter 31000U refrigeration unit, which should help the operator to keep noise levels clown at outside catering events. A 1.5-tonne Zepro cantilever tail-lift is fitted to the 17-tonne Cargo chassis, and a heavily-protected fiourescent-tube light is mounted over the hack doorway. Truck Bodies is now part of Lex Tillotson.
A Hydraroll pneumatic floating floor for handling jumbo aircraft containers was fitted in the step-frame TIR tilt body shown by Stocks Transport Engineering on an Overlander tri-axle trailer chassis. It is one of a repeat order from Spa-Trans for carrying air freight on behalf of Cargolux Airlines. Features include aluminium-alloy dropsides. About 150 of the 500 trailer chassis built annually by Overlander are now being fitted with Stocks tilt and curtain-sided bodies.
Plastic-plywood body panels produced by Technical Panel Industries are now offered with the option of pre-fitted horizontal strips for attaching shelves and other internal fittings. The extruded aluminium strips are bonded to the panels, avoiding the need for bolts or rivets. The body on show was built by Coackwork Walker for British Telecom. Anodised aluminium is now used by Kurtans for its TIR tilt dropsides. The company claims that it maintains a smart appearance much longer than comparable untreated aluminium.
