Van bodies are a reliable choice for industries that need secure, weatherproof transport of goods. Whether you’re in logistics, retail, food delivery, or manufacturing, van bodies strike the right balance between protection, load capacity, and customization—keeping your cargo safe and your operations efficient.
How Van Bodies Work
Van bodies are fully enclosed truck bodies mounted to a truck chassis, forming a secure, box-style load space. Unlike open flatbeds, these enclosures protect goods from rain, dust, theft, and other external risks—making them ideal for sensitive or high-value cargo.
Most van bodies feature rear doors—either roll-up or swing-type—for easy loading and unloading. Some also include side access doors or insulated linings, depending on cargo requirements. Construction materials vary from durable steel to lightweight aluminium or composite panels, giving you options based on strength, weight, and corrosion resistance.
Customization Options at BTS
At BTS, our van bodies are designed for both durability and flexibility. Customization includes:
- Various sizes to match your cargo and operational needs
- Floor thicknesses from 3mm to 5mm, depending on load requirements
- Door options: rear only, or single/double side doors for versatile access
- Exterior skins in white chromadek or aluminium
- Interior features: like kick plates and wooden slats to protect inner walls
- Optional extras: fuel fairings, tail lifts, and roof racks for added utility
- Full cladding (floor to roof) for maximum protection against wear
Every van body is built to handle the real-world demands of freight and delivery work.
