History of CSC

CSC (Specialised Vehicles) Ltd, formerly known as Coventry steel fabrications was formed in 1947 and specialised in the manufacture of high class domestic touring caravans. The build technique that was adopted for the new product was quite revolutionary for the caravan industry at this time as the manufacturing used a mixture of interlocking extruded aluminum section to form the body, together with acrylic sheets and mouldings for the roof, windows and some of the interior fittings.

From the initial domestic marketplace Coventry Steel Caravans then diversified and started to produce mobile banking units for the major banks of the era to enable them to provide banking services to outlying rural communities.

Once this was established as a successful and practical solution for servicing the need of these rural communities, it was decided by local health authorities to adopt the mobile approach, which lead CSC to produce Mobile Medical Clinics, Mobile Clinics and Mobile Mammography Breast Screening Units.

CSC then decided to dedicate its entire production capacity to the building of special purpose mobile units, all specifically designed to suit the individual user requirement. CSC (Specialised Vehicles) Ltd currently produces purpose built units for commercial, medical and military application for both the home and export marketplaces. They have adopted the latest technology in body construction by using composite construction vacuum pressed sandwich panels, which are lightweight but extremely robust and durable.

Today an attractive and comfortable Hospitality Unit serves as an ideal high-profile facility for image building at sporting events ranging from Formula 1 races to top class golf tournaments.

A more direct message can be provided by mobile exhibition units, training workshops and demonstration vehicles. Ideal for any marketing environment, these are quick and simple to set up, and can incorporate the most advanced audio-visual display systems for maximum impact.

We have the expertise and experience to work effectively with the customer at every stage, from initial concept to final design. And, since few companies have identical requirements, we have the imagination and flexibility to cater for the individual needs of each customer, and thereby ensure that the resulting vehicle fulfils their need perfectly.

The pictures to the below show a typical exhibition trailer which has been fitted out with display panels and storage cupboards down both sides of the interior and a central ceiling feature housing the air conditioning and spotlights. The main entrance doors are pneumatically operated and open automatically as they are approached.
