Vehicle container bodies having sheeting devices.

摘要

The body has an open top covered by a flexible cover (103). An elongate winding member (120) lies on and is fixed along the centre of the cover and has end parts seating on the tops (105) of opposite end walls of the body. The winding member has a handwheel (130) attached to it. At each side of the cover is fixed a tube (124) which guides and controls the end of the cover. Each tube is tied to the body and either side can be released for uncovering. To unvover, the handwheel is turned, so that one half of the cover at one side of the member is wound in superimposition on the other half.
