A Dairymaid light-alloy milk-float body that can be mounted on the vehicle chassis in two hours has been developed by Osborne Dairy Vehicles Ltd., Saffron Walden, Essex, for application to Ford Transit chassis/cabs in the 25, 30 and 35cwt range. It is claimed that a body can be removed by unskilled labour and refitted to a new chassis in less than four hours. The unladen weight of the complete vehicle is under 30cwt in every case.
Internal dimensions of the body include a length of 9ft 5-in. and a width of 6ft The interior height can be varied to suit a customer's individual requirements, the standard height being 3ft 9+in. to the roof centre and 3ft Iiin. to the cant rail. Loading height is about 311 lin.
Gross payload of the vehicle is approximately 3,8681b in the case of the 35cwt model which has a net unladen weight and g.v.w. of 1 ton 9cwt 3qr and 7,2001b respectively. A load of 187gal in 75 18in. by 14in. plastics crates can therefore be carried on the vehicle with some payload to spare. The body is also suitable for carrying 18+in. by 141in, metal crates and l8-in. by 14+in. wire crates.
Two full-length channel-section underframe longitudinals are mounted on aluminium pedestals, while the floor comprises smooth-faced, extruded alloy planks having a depth of lin., which are laid crosswise to give additional strength. The angle-section framework of the front bulkhead is clad with 18 s.w.g. NS3 alloy sheet, while the roof is clad with 20 s.w.g. NS3 alloy sheet, the full-length extruded cant rails having radiused corners.
