S. CARTWRIGHT, the Altrincham, Cheshire, bodybuilder has supplied to 126m3 close-coupled drawbar trailer outfits for an upholstery manufacturer, Appleby Midlands of Desborough.
It says these are the biggest furniture vehicles in the UK.
Each Luton van body has an internal length of 8.6m, width of 2.43in and height of 3m. Internal dimensions for the close-coupled drawbar trailer are 6.47m by 2.43in by 3.5m respectively, while the gap between van and trailer is 0.7m.
To provide the lowest possible loading heights of 0.53m both the van and trailer bodies have special steel subframes.
Other features include heavy duty aluminium alloy framed bodies with solid ri vetted aluminium alloy panels and translucent GRP roof with alloy end sections.
Steel-framed rear apertures are closed on both parts by 0.6in tailboards.
