The Transit Dropside is one of the most adaptable working vehicles. Remove the corner pillars, side and tailboards and you have a flatbed. Add a tail lift or a loader crane and you enable one man to do the work of several. The Dropside is designed to carry loads with absolute security with a generous supply of overcentre cam latches, pull-up retention rings and floor under-mounted lashing points. There’s no scrambling over body sides to access the loadspace either – twin stirrup ‘step and grab’ handles make life easy. And parts like the load deck that have a hard life are designed to be easily replaced. With payloads from 1 to 1.5 tonnes, body lengths from 2.85 to 4.05m and a Double Cab option you can configure a Transit Dropside to suit just about any job you have in mind.

Load security is a key consideration for Dropside users, so a generous number of lashing points are provided. A pair of stirrup steps and twin grab handles offers easy access to the load area.The Dropside’s flexibility is further enhanced by its removable side and tailboards, and removable rear corner pillars, which enable awkward loads to be carried. What’s more, components that are subjected to heavy wear or tear are designed to be easily repaired or replaced.To complement the Dropside, a range of accessories is available to ensure more specific requirements are met. Tail-lifts, loader cranes, toolboxes, beacons and bespoke paint schemes can be specified to meet the demands of an increasing variety of operating tasks.
