A BODY specially designed to overcome the loss of time in sheeting and unsheeting loads on open trucks when part deliveries are made, has been constructed by United Service Garages (Portsmouth), Ltd., for S.P.D., Ltd. The body was built on a 1-ton Bedford TIC 13.-ft. 11-in.-wheelbase diesel-engined chassis and is designed to accommodate eight 4-ft. by 3-ft. 4-in. pallets.
Framework of the body is of aluminium alloy, and the open sides and rear are closed by full-length curtains. These slide on nylon runners fitted to the roof and are secured beneath the platform by quick-release, spring-loaded 'rubber lashings at 12-in. intervals.
