Built around your vehicle and load.
Built in different sizes and configurations to suit the truck and your requirements: different lengths, widths, side heights and loading configurations.
Steel or aluminium construction where required, with a choice of floors, headboards, sideboards, tailgates, toolboxes and other customer-specific requirements.
We build the body around what you actually need, rather than making everything one standard size.
