A vehicle of -special interest to farmers and others who desire at times to transport live stock and to use their machine for general service is that which is illustrated on this page. It is a recent product of the works of Karrier Motors, Ltd., and is styled a farmer's utility lorry.
The body is fitted on an example of the company's CYS-type chassis, which is identical in all respects with their well-known CY 2-tormer, with the exception that the driver is carried alongside the engine. It is this feature which provides a long body space without excessive overhang. In the case of the body shown on the vehicle illustrated the length is 13 ft. and the width 6 ft. 6 ins. The body has fixed sides, which are 1 ft. 6 ins, deep, but detachable lattice extensions, which are 3 ft. 6 ins. high, can be brought into use.
The loading gantry, which is clearly seen in one of the pictures, is 9 ft. long, and when not required this is carried below the lorry floor on roller supports, the sides of the gantry, which are 3 ft. deep, being attached to the outside of the body when not in use. The body floor level is 3 ft. 3 ins, from the ground.
