General description and facilities
This vehicle supersedes the Type 1 version. It has a forward control
type cab with seats for one passenger and a driver and an open type body
with drop sides and tail-board. A Crane, Truck, 1 ton (see B 3850) is
mounted on a raised platform immediately behind the cab. The crane has
a boom-mounted winch with 80 ft. of rope and will lift 22 cwt. at 7 ft. 6
in. radius or 11.5 cwt. at 13 ft. 3 in. radius. The open body has a
fixed forward pole bolster and a removable rear pole bolster with guides,
for the transport of poles up to 45 ft. in length (medium size) which are
within the upper limit of the crane. A cable drum spindle and spreader
are provided, to enable cable drums up to 1 ton in weight to be lifted
directly by the crane and cable drums up to 3 tons in weight to be winch
loaded, using the skid-boards supplied with the vehicle. This vehicle
is intended for use where pole loading and carrying facilities are required
and where it is necessary to transport heavy external stores items.
