Lightweight & Eco-Friendly Materials
The weight of the truck body is reduced by using high-strength, low-density materials while ensuring structural strength and durability. We have developed new high-strength composite materials to replace traditional metals and wood, which greatly reduces the weight of the body and reduces operating costs. Most of these new composite materials are recyclable, which promotes the development of a sustainable economy.
FRP PET Foam Composite Panels
PET is a recyclable closed-cell foam and is a highly utilized foam material in a sustainable economy. Fibreglass PET foam composite panels are lightweight, waterproof, structurally stable, and resistant to deformation.
- Skin: FRP sheets, CFRT (continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic) sheets.
- Core: PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) foam.
FRP Plywood Composite Panels
Plywood is the preferred economical material for manufacturing dry trucks due to its high strength and low cost.
- Skin: FRP sheets, CFRT (continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic) sheets.
- Core: Plywood
FRP Polypropylene Honeycomb Composite Panels
Polypropylene honeycomb panel is a lightweight and high-strength structural material whose unique honeycomb geometric design gives it excellent mechanical properties. The polypropylene honeycomb sandwich panel with fiberglass facing not only significantly improves its strength, but also maintains extremely light weight and excellent deformation resistance.
- Skin: FRP sheets, CFRT (continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic) sheets.
- Core: Polypropylene (PP).
Quick and Easy Assembly of Lightweight Dry Truck Body
- Fewer operators.
- Simple installation tools.
- Fast installation.
- Can be completed by non-professional operators.
- Small footprint.
Our lightweight dry truck bodies offer flexible transport options, with the option of delivering to the destination in either completely knocked down (CKD) or semi-knocked down (SKD) form. All components are meticulously manufactured in our highly specialized factories and undergo a stringent quality inspection process to ensure that every part meets the highest standards of quality.
Once the kit arrives safely at its destination, it is accompanied by a detailed and easy-to-understand installation guide, which allows the operator to get up to speed and start assembling the unit with ease. As we have already pre-assembled the main components, the remaining parts can be efficiently assembled by the purchaser’s technical team or by workers with only basic skills, using common hand tools such as drills, spanners, hammers, and lifting equipment. This design greatly reduces the technical threshold for installation and can be performed by non-professionals with guidance.
Typically, a body can be assembled by two to three people, which not only improves work efficiency, but also effectively saves labor costs. We are committed to providing convenient and efficient total solutions to ensure that our customers can enjoy a worry-free service experience from transport to installation.
