• The truck equipment division of York Trailer has introduced a new range of aluminium platform bodies for rigid trucks. There are three ranges available — lightweight, for unladen weights of below 30cwt and 3 tons; medium weight — for four and six-wheeled chassis; and heavyweight, for eight-wheeled chassis. All three ranges are available from York's network of branch factories, where they can be built and installed.
The bodies are built with long runners, cross-members, floor and headboard in aluminium as standard. York claims that a truck with a 20ft platform can still be kept below 3 tons ulw, provided a suitable chassis-cab is used.
Options available include a timber floor, choice of steel, rubber or plastic wings, dropsides and various headboards. An order for this new range of bodies has recently been completed for the rental fleet of Godfrey Davis. The vehicles are based on Ford D01610 134in. wheelbase chassis, which when fitted with 16ft-long bodies, weigh 2 tons I7cwt.
