'ORK Trailer Company has announced two new van models — ne grp and one steel. The main difference between the Envoy, s the grp model is called, and the existing grp range is that the :nvoy has integral side sills which provide 400mm (38in) outer ub rails and 150mm (14in) deep inner steel kick strips.
The sills are claimed to trengthen the overall contruction and protect those oints most vulnerable to amage.
An additional advantage of he interior kick strip is that it rovides an easy fixing point for load restraint devices.
The grp sidewalls are made to York's specification from a material called Armaweave. Internal height and width of the van are the same at 2.44m (8 ft).
The "245" steel van gets its name from its 2450mm (81/2 ft) internal width. Butt welded 19mm corrugated steel panels are used for the walls, while the roof is of 18 swg steel.
Standard fittings include five pairs of lashing rings, ferry shackles and ferry trestle supports.
