Maine Soft Drinks delivery vehicle
The Ingimex conversion.
Maine soft drinks required their factory built ingimex body adapted to offer a little more protection for soft drinks deliveries. The addition of three aluminium shutters complete with rod locks improved security. A fibreglass roof and galvanised framework designed and painted sympathetic to the original body offered the goods additional protection and shelter.
Standard Ingimex dropside body adapted at Drumack to meet the customers requirements.

Damaged panels vulnerable to rot
This majestic bracket fungi emerging from a damaged panel on a sliding door vehicle.
The outer layer to most panels in vehicle construction is the protective layer. Once this GRP film is damaged, water etc. is permitted to enter the panel core and nature will do the rest.
If vehicle damage is repaired at the earliest convenience, much future expense may be spared. However, if left unchecked panel integrity will be compromised.
Drumack frequently undertake repairs to commercial vehicles. Special alloy sections can be sourced for repairs to most UK mainland manufactured vehicles.
A variety of techniques are available for panel repairs dependent on the severity of the damage. Replacement panels are also stocked and a full painting service offered.

‘Move it or lose it!’ – the VOSA way
Care must be taken when loading and unloading vehicles as the position of the load will have consequences in the event of sudden braking or a collision.
In the case of a rigid vehicle with rear access only, the load will be removed from the rear of the vehicle. After a number of drops it is possible that the front axle could become overloaded as the centre of gravity moves forward – something worth considering when loading the vehicle.
For a curtainsider operator, without due consideration to the order of delivery, it is possible that a space could develop between the load and the bulkhead.

More information can be found on the H.S.E. website Load safety
Drumack Coachworks can advise you on appropriate load safety devices and load security systems as well as supplying load track, load straps, lashing rings and spring loaded shoring bars.
