In a typical application to a ton-gross vehicle in the UK, the body vides a payload of 10-1tons.
Known as the KD (knocked down)Series, the bodies have a length and width of 14ft and 7ft 6in. respectively and are available with fixed sides. double dropsides, a flat or recessed headboard and top-hung tail doors that are either manually or air operated. Edbro points out that the bodies are "knocked downas distinct from completely knocked down in that preassembly ensures that the components fit together accurately. It is claimed that two welders can build a body in less than a day.
It is anticipated that high-volume production of KD bodies will enable the company to break the tradition on the Continent that commercial vehicle bodies should be built by local concerns to offset high tariff charges and shipping costs.
