THE ANT three wheeler, manufactured by BTB Engineering of Blackburn, is now available with refrigerated box-van body.
With a capacity of 3.9cum (140cuft), the body is built of alloy' sheeting over a softwood frame and is insulated with 127mm (5in) thick polyurethane.
Inside, marine ply overlaid with resin-bonded grp is used for the floor, and the roof and walls are panelled in white acrylic.
At the rear, the access door is sealed with neoprene gaskets and a clear plastic strip curtain helps maintain low temperatures when the door is open.
Refrigeration is by means of a Prestcold AS100 2L unit connected to holdover plates on each side wall.
The Ant itself has a two-seat grp cab fitted to a welded steel chassis. Power comes from a four-cylinder petrol engine which is coupled to a four-speed gearbox.
