    The other benefit of tray over tub even if tub allows a 1200 pallet to slide between the arches
    Is that when loading something like a pallet of blocks or pallet of turf (ie GVM load)
    If you slide it onto the rear and then reposition forks to lift it or push it up to the headboard you’ll be loading the rear most supports (overhang) and torturing the chassis

    Side loading let’s you settle the pallet right against the headboard

    I have a 550mm dogcage/ Engel cage at the very rear of my tray, still lets me load a full pallet behind headboard from either side. 1800x1800 tray.

    I really liked the lower floor height of the well tub vs a tray for continually working out of.
    That made a huge difference for me.

    Standard pallets were always 4' x 4'. Basic requirement for tray bodies and semi-trailers was two pallets across. You needed to stress when ordering new gear that two pallets had to fit between the gunwale rails on the floor.

    US design standard for station wagons (they were bigger then) was that a standard sheet of plywood had to sit on the floor between the inner mudguards with seat folded and tailgate closed.
