A KNOCK-DOWN kit produced by Moto Master Body Kits of Market Weighton, Yorkshire, has achieved an ATP pass of .312.
The body, delivered on a Leyland Freighter 16-15 chassis to Dewhurst the butchers, was assembled by Massey International Coachbuilders giving a capacity of 39cum (1,375cuft) and an unladen weight of 7.87 tonnes.
The Moto Master components include a roof structure fabricated from a one-piece outer panel, polyurethane sandwich and a ply inner skin with a grp face, incorporating steel beams to carry the total load on hanging rails.
The front bulkhead is braced to carry the refrigeration plant at above cab height. Both sides and bulkhead are constructed of white pigmented grp-faced 12mm-(1/2in)-thick ply inner skin, polyurethane insulation and a ply outer skin also faced with white coloured grp.
All panels are in one-piece and the cant rails, raves and corners are formed from aluminium extrusions.
The floor has a layer of grp skin-bonded-ply, 100mm (3.9in) thick polyurethane and ply overlaid with 10 gauge PGP. All joints are welded and there is a 4in hign upstand formed into the walls.
Rear double-doors are made of folded mild steel sections and a Petters LOC diesel refrigeration unit is used to maintain temperature control.
