HGV bodies built to perform
At Mackworth Vehicle Conversions, we design and manufacture HGV bodies that are built to last – from 7.5 tonne to 26 tonne.
Whether you need a practical tipper, a durable dropslide or a bespoke traffic management build, our team has the expertise to deliver. Every build is tailored to your operational needs, fully type approved, and manufactured at our Derby site using quality materials for long-term reliability.
A wide range of extras and optional features are available across all builds – allowing you to create a fully bespoke vehicle that’s fit for purpose and ready for work.

Dropside bodies
Tough and versatile, our dropside bodies are ideal for general haulage and builders’ merchants. Options include crane subframes, tool storage and full fall arrest systems.

Tipper bodies
Designed for strength and daily use, our steel and aluminium tippers are perfect for highways, utilities, and construction. We offer front-end and underbody tipping gear, as well as Chapter 8 and lighting options.

Curtainsiders
Lightweight yet strong, our curtainsiders support fast, flexible loading. Choose from barn or roller rear doors, load restraint systems and tail lift integration.

Traffic management bodies
We offer bespoke Chapter 8-compliant traffic management builds, complete with cone wells, sign storage, tail lifts, arrow boards and slip-resistant flooring.

Specialist builds
If your needs are unique, we can help. From crane-mounted platforms to insulated box bodies, we build to your spec – no matter how complex.
