Vehicle body and trailer construction

Smart transport solutions

Developments never stop in the transport sector. The climate agreement, truck platooning and autonomous driving are just a few examples that will radically change the transport industry. Shippers and hauliers are making increasingly higher demands on transport and regard operating more efficiently as the number one opportunity in 2020. As a manufacturer of vehicle bodies and trailers, you can meet those demands by helping the customer come up with solutions that are smart, innovative, safe and secure. Quite a challenge – but we’re happy to help you!

Vehicle construction

For bodywork and trailer construction, we have a complete range of hardware, substructure and superstructure products available from stock. With our systems, from rear door to front bulkhead and from sliding roof to modular platform, you can easily put together your own superstructure. It is also possible to order the superstructure as a kit or assembled. Read more

Vehicle and cargo protection

There are various ways to protect vehicles and cargo during transport. Sometimes it is useful if these solutions are already included in the bodywork or trailer construction, so that no modifications need to be made afterwards. Examples include locks, cooling walls, bumper bars, impact protection and load securing systems. Read more

Working safely and comfortably

In bodywork and trailer construction, it is important for employees to be able to work safely, healthily and comfortably. Personal protective equipment is essential here. But a pleasant working environment also plays an important role. For this purpose, we offer air-conditioning and heaters. Read more

Cleaning

In order to work optimally, workshops need regular cleaning. Effective industrial cleaning increases safety. We have a solution available for every problem. Think of high-pressure cleaners, dust and water vacuum cleaners, scrubbers and sweepers and absorbents. Read more

Our expertise

Engineering

From our R&D department, we develop new solutions and optimise existing products. We listen carefully to the user's wishes. To develop these products, we use our own 3D printer.

Assemblies

To meet the demand for assembled products, we have our own assembly department. Here, we assemble products such as rear doors, sliding roofs, side panels and rear frames according to customer requirements. We also offer tailor-made solutions for a complete superstructure.

Customised advice

We like to think along with you about smart van solutions, so that you can advise your customers even better. Because if you help your customer think things through beforehand, you will always have a customised means of transport that allows the end user to do his work in the best possible way.

Certification

We can have your superstructure tested together with a certifying body such as TUV or ESTL. Our specialists are familiar with the latest safety requirements your superstructure must meet to pass the test with flying colours. After the inspection, you will receive a certificate with an accompanying test report.

Lean manufacturing

As a bodywork or trailer builder, you want your assembly to run as efficiently as possible, without having to hold large stocks yourself. We respond to this with our assembly department by supplying customised and just-in-time parts.

Quality

We continuously monitor the quality of our products. For instance, we have a salt spray installation with which we test our products for corrosion resistance. We use a tensile testing machine to test the strength of our products. So we can always guarantee good quality.
