General description and facilities
This vehicle supersedes the Type 1 version. It is a commercial
forward control van with .both near-side and rear door access to the vehicle
body. The vehicle is equipped internally with adjustable aluminium slotted
angle racking and has a roof ladder rack mounted on the near-side. An
additional 3 section ladder may be carried on a special shelf on the top of
the off-side internal racking. The vehicle is intended for the use of
one or two man parties who require to carry between 5 cwt. and 15 cwt of
stores and tools, e.g. installation parties or construction jointers.
On early models
(U 88313 to U 96857 inclusive) the provision of mild steel racking limited
the pay load to 14 cwt. A temporary third seat may be fitted to a proportion
of these vehicles for use by a trainee or an occasional passenger.
Where a third seat is fitted and an additional passenger carried, the pay
load must be reduced by 1 cwt. and distributed to give approximately equal
wheel loadings. Vehicles in the range U 109903 to 111252 are fitted
with a double passenger seat but this may be removed and converted into a
normal single seat if required. On no account may these vehicles be
used for Parties whose regular size exceeds two men.
