Buildable configurations
What can be specified on this product, and what each choice changes. Combinations are confirmed by engineering against your axle-load limits and destination regulations before they are quoted.
Sidewall Height
High Sidewalls
Higher sidewalls increase containment volume
Best for: bulky light cargo, bagged produce and taller stacks
If omitted: standard sidewalls are lighter and easier for side loading, but provide less high-load containment.
On our sample Sidewall / Fence Height 800–1,200 mm
Changes: Sidewall / Fence Height, Reference Payload, Reference Tare Weight, Body / Vessel Material
Confirmed at inquiry: Confirm duty, loads, dimensions, road/site conditions and destination requirements
Sidewall Opening Type
Fixed Sidewalls
Fixed sidewalls have fewer joints and higher rigidity
Best for: bulk or bagged cargo loaded mainly from the rear or above
If omitted: opening sidewalls improve forklift side access, but add hinges and locking points.
Drop-side / Sectional Opening
Drop-side or sectional panels open for forklift access
Best for: multi-stop work, pallets and building materials
If omitted: fixed sidewalls are stronger and lower maintenance, but slower for side loading.
Changes: Discharge / Unloading Method, Body / Vessel Material
Confirmed at inquiry: Confirm duty, loads, dimensions, road/site conditions and destination requirements

What you can verify before ordering
The plant is ours
Ask for a live walk-through of the welding line, the blasting chamber and the paint booth on the day you call. A trading company cannot do this on request.
Engineers answer, not a sales desk
Configuration questions are answered by the engineering team. If an answer needs a calculation, you get the calculation.
Inspection records match the unit
Final vehicle or assembly inspection is recorded against the unit identification, so the report can be matched to the product that arrives.
Drawings are kept on file
The approved general arrangement drawing is archived against your chassis number for the life of the unit, which is what makes a spare part orderable years later.
Export paperwork is in house
Invoice, origin certificate, chassis number list and test certificates are issued by our own export desk, so a correction takes hours rather than a week.
Repeat batches stay identical
A follow-on order is built from the drawing you already approved, so parts interchange across your fleet instead of nearly fitting.
Send your drawing or your load case
A sales engineer confirms the specification for this product against your route, axle-load limits and destination regulations, then returns a drawing and a delivered price.
