A NEW FLEET of 19 vehicles, based on the Bedford TL 860 with 5.18 (lift) insulated box bodies and Fetter refrigeration units, is being produced for St Wel by Wincanton Bodywork of Westbury, Wiltshire.
Designed to double as both distribution and sales vehicles the bodies are equipped with a three-section rear door, sealed by a new gasket from Sch legal.
Artic Seal is claimed to be both easier and quicker to fit than traditional rubber gaskets. A dual-seal pvc carrier is fitted over the edge of the door using Neoprene adhesive in which EPDM rubber gaskets are slotted secured by pvc locating bars.
The gasket consists of an outer weather seal and integral thermal seal preformed at the factory to customers' individual requirements with slot-moulded corners for greater strength.
