NYLOY 150 roller shutters, made by Dover Roller Shuttee Ltd of Denton, near Manchester, have been used to enclos the Wilsdens body fitted to Johnson's Air Freight' Mercedes-Benz 1617/52 6.7m (22ft) wheelbase chassis cal The vehicle is used, both night and day, on multipurpose delivery and collection. The single 6m (19ft 6in) door provides fast and easy access over the body length and is easily operated by one person.
As licensed carriers of imported livestock under quarantine, the vehicle has to be of rigid construction to comply with Department of Agriculture regulations. In the event of an accident the body must contain the animals.
The door closures are lockable, while it is claimed that the construction of the Nyloy 150 door, with its box aluminiun slats, makes it virtually impos sible for the vehicle's doors ti burst open.
