VEHICLE body shutters that stretch a full five metres (16.4ft) have been introduced by Dover Roller Shutters Ltd, of Hartford Street, Denton, Manchester.
They are said to make it possible to transform an enclosed van into one that can open fully on three sides.
The new roller shutters are a development of the Nyloy 150C shutter, are cable operated and designed to pass one another within a headroom of 18cm (7in).
A full-length shutter weighs 140kg (2cwt 3gr) and runs up and down heavyduty steel channelling on nylon bearings.
Insulation can be added by filling each lath with rigid polyurethane which is said to make the shutter well suited for fitment to refrigerated vans and other bodies designed for the carriage of perishable goods.
