Bodies, Boxes and Equipment Designed and Built here at New England Truck Design.

Our aluminum truck bodies are designed and built to be heavy duty and high quality. We feel that weight savings should not come before longevity. Some of the lighter bodies available are made from sheet formed members. Formed members are meant to reduce material costs for the manufacturer, unfortunately it also reduces strength. Formed sills are more apt to crack at stress locations than extruded structural sills.

All of our bodies are constructed with a heavy walled perimeter angle . This allows deeper welding penetration for the cross members while still controlling distortion. Our cross members are I-beams 12" on center. The height of the I-beam is typically 3" or 4" depending on the size of the body. Our long sills are also of structural heavy walled channel, Mating a hoist to one of our bodies is not a problem.
