THE SCAMMELL name is to appear on a range of chassisless van semi-trailers designated Fleetline. The Fleetline, built by York at Northallerton, will be available from Scammell dealers throughout the country.
The specification of the van is similar to that of the York Freightmaster range, using the same axles and suspension and heavy-duty landing gear with a lifting capacity of 24 tons.
Crossmember spacing is the same, at 305mm (12in) centres, but a half-lapped hardwood floor is different from the floor replaces the laminated floor used on the York van.
In order to maintain sidewall strength and reduce cost, 18swg aluminium panels corrugated at 50mm (2in) centres are used instead of the 16swg panels with wider-spaced corrugations previously used.
With an overall width of 2.49m, (8ft 2in) the design offers an internal width of 2.42m (7ft 11%in) which allows metric-sized pallets to be carried side by side. On a typical 12.2m (40ft) x 2.44m (8ft) high van, internal volume at 72.4cum (2560cuft).
