Truck Bodies
Truck Bodies With Sustainability Advantages – BrandFX
Truck bodies that are manufactured using advanced composite materials by BrandFX have several sustainability advantages, simply by virtue of being far more lightweight than the competition. Fuel savings, reduced wear and tear on brakes, suspension and other wear parts and shorter, safer stopping distances are three clear lightweight advantages of BrandFX. Additionally, our truck bodies are highly durable and long-lasting. Most of the BrandFX truck bodies that are currently on the road have been transferred onto new chassis, and many BrandFX truck bodies are used in regular operation more than 30 years after they were initially purchased. BrandFX advanced composite truck bodies can enable fleets to downsize some of their equipment, without impacting payload capacity. That can often mean thousands of dollars in savings per fleet unit.

Strongest & Lightest Bodies Available
Truck Bodies, Inserts, Toppers and Accessories
Truck bodies by BrandFX protect fleets from fines, penalties and other unwanted expenses with lightweight durability, practicality and safety of fiberglass.
Lightweight Truck Bodies – Lightweight truck bodies enable fleets to use less gas and typically incur lower costs of maintenance than truck bodies made from traditional materials. With shorter stopping distances and with greater payload capacity, lightweight truck bodies reduce fuel consumption. These lightweight advantages are examples of how BrandFX lightweight truck bodies save fleets time and money.
Truck Bodies for EVs and ePTO Systems – Truck bodies for EVs are becoming more common. Recent regulations and incentives have encouraged businesses to add more electric vehicles and battery powered aerial systems to their fleets. Truck mounted aerial lifts with ePTO systems are heavier and require a lighter truck body to stay within GVWR requirements. BrandFX fiberglass truck bodies can help fleets achieve their EV and ePTO goals.
Fiberglass Truck Bodies – Fiberglass truck bodies are valuable because they help work trucks, bucket trucks, and service trucks avoid overweight penalties. Fleet vehicles can stay under the GVWR requirements needed for a CDL and offer a clear payload advantage. The ability to transfer a lightweight, durable body or insert to the next chassis is another reason why Versalift offers a lower true cost of ownership.
Steel Truck Bodies – Steel truck bodies often represent the lowest initial cost to buyers who are in the market for a service truck body or line body. Some steel truck bodies can corrode, dent and scratch easily, and in areas where roads are salted in winter, they have persistent rust issues.
Aluminum Truck Bodies – Aluminum truck bodies are lightweight, sufficiently strong and resist corrosion and rust. With their perks, aluminum truck bodies have their drawbacks. Unless reinforced, aluminum lacks the durability of steel and fiberglass. Aluminum truck bodies require specialized treatment and tools to repair and maintain.
