ANEW light-alloy container which has been developed by Rollalong Ltd., Ringwood, Hants, in conjunction with Boss (Engineers) Ltd., is specially designed to be transferred using a Boss "Series C" fork truck,
The container is of frameless construction, has a capacity of 850 Cu. ft. and costs about £400. Exterior cladding is 20 SWG light-alloy sheeting, the interior being covered with ply which can be faced with plastics if a more washable
surface is required. Interior dimensions are 17 ft. 6 in. long, 7 ft. high and 7 ft. wide. At the rear of the container a roller shutter is fitted above a drop tailboard.
Special fittings below the floor of the container allow easy access for the forks of the fork truck and it is said that a Boss unit of 12,000 to 15,000 lb. capacity proved to be ideal for handling the container loaded or empty during extensive trials.
