Hard-working builds for light commercial vehicles
Our light commercial vehicle (LCV) conversions — up to 7.5 tonnes — are designed to handle the challenges of everyday operations across multiple sectors.
From open body dropsides for manual loading to enclosed boxes for tool and equipment storage, we build LCVs that deliver reliability, functionality and compliance. Manufactured in-house at our Derby facility, each body is constructed using high-quality aluminium and galvanised steel. All builds are fully type approved and designed to suit your operational needs.
