Aimed at architects, planners and engineers designing and evaluating service areas and access roads for commercial vehicles, the 2016 edition covers latest vehicle standards, including ongoing trials of LSTs (longer vehicles semitrailers).
All information is based on FTA Design Vehicles data, which represents most vehicle dimensions so avoids making costly provision for extreme trucks that rarely visit most sites.
“Designing for Deliveries ... provides specialist information which can be vital in the planning stages when depots and loading and unloading bays are designed,” comments Shopfta manager Lisa McCloy.
The guide is £80 for FTA members and £100 for non-members and can be ordered online from Shopfta at www.shop.fta.co.uk or by calling 03717 11 11 11.
