Fiberglass truck body is used for refrigerated trucks, freezer trucks, dry trucks, and insulated trucks. XPS (Extruded Polystyrene) or PU (Polyurethane) foam cores are used as the sandwich structure. In addition, PP honeycomb panels, plywood and PET sandwich panels are also very popular.
In refrigeration and insulation applications, XPS and PU are the best choices to replace traditional insulation materials, for dry cargo applications, where insulation is not required, plywood or PET sandwich panels are used. fiberglass is a high-performance material suitable for box truck construction, with no external seams or rivets, making it more aesthetically pleasing. It is easy to finish and resistant to corrosion.
Fiberglass truck bodies are used for small trailers, box trucks, semi trucks, etc. Can be manufactured in lengths from 2.5 to 12 metres. Lighter and durable. PU and XPS foam increase the heat insulation and reduce the gross weight. The advantages of FRP are saving, environmentally friendly, and green, FRP foam panels can replace aluminium alloy panels, and galvanized steel panels. Longer service life. We provide 100% customised body and CKD case delivery.
We offer you a full set of body or panels with complete kit options.
What is a fibreglass truck body?
9 Benefits Of Using Fiberglass In Box Trucks
Fiberglass is suitable for refrigerated, freezer and dry trucks, if you are looking for high strength material, then FRP must be a good choice. It is characterized by strong tensile strength, lightweight and beautiful appearance. Suitable for use in box body where the required temperature is -30℃-60℃. it is the best choice for closed box truck.
Good thermal insulation performance: the proportion of fibreglass panels with PU, XPS foam, making the thermal insulation performance.
- Waterproof: FRP panels and coating can effectively isolate water vapour and moisture penetration into the interior.
- Low cost: Compared with stainless steel and aluminium, FRP is not only stronger but also cheaper.
- Easy to clean: With only regular maintenance and care, the service life can be up to 10 years and 50,000 hours.
- Lightweight: the use of fiberglass can reduce the total weight, you can save diesel fuel, increase efficiency, but also become a widely used material in different industries.
- Impact resistance: Impact damage resistant, not easily deformed.
- Beautiful appearance: FRP surface has its own lustre, which increases the beauty and no need to worry about the paint falling off.
- Flame retardant: It can play the effect of flame retardant to prevent the spread of fire.
- Corrosion resistance: It is not easy to rust and corrode under the harsh environment.
