Truck Bodies

Truck bodies built by Brand FX are durable, tough and incredibly lightweight. There are many advantages to choosing BrandFX lightweight composite truck bodies:
Truck bodies manufactured from advanced composite materials are structurally strong, which is to say that the toughness and durability of the composite material does not depend upon how much it weighs. BrandFX truck bodies are as strong as steel, as light as (or lighter than) aluminum, and they do not corrode. The advanced composite materials used by BrandFX to build truck bodies save companies both time and money. The following list of ways-to-save illustrates the smarter design choice of BrandFX:
BrandFX enable vehicles to stay well under important weight thresholds designed for safe operation. By remaining far under these weight thresholds, the fleets that choose BrandFX truck bodies are choosing to eliminate any missteps with the DOT. Missteps and infractions include being unintentionally overweight and having to pay additional taxes and other unnecessary expenses.
Truck bodies manufactured by BrandFX are designed and built to reduce risk for both small companies and larger fleets in several key ways. Fleet risk management programs should always consider vehicle weight reduction, as it is a very important factor. Improved stopping distances, increased payload capacity and rounded corners and edges are each good examples of a risk management advantage held by BrandFX truck bodies.
Truck bodies are one of the most visible and important ways that fleets, contractors and other companies can promote their businesses and brands. Whether it is a utility fleet, a telecommunications fleet or a contractor’s service vehicle, the clean and professional look of a BrandFX- truck body stays looking sharp. This is in large part attributable to advanced composite materials in BrandFX truck bodies, which do not rust, corrode or dent, and have exactly zero repainting requirements. Additionally, the safer, rounded edges on BrandFX truck bodies have a sleeker, more modern appearance.
BrandFX provides a sustainability advantage because the equipment lasts much longer than traditional steel and aluminum bodies. It is common to remount a BrandFX truck body onto three, or more, chassis. Manufactured from lightweight, advanced composite materials, BrandFX truck bodies weigh half of what steel bodies weigh. A much longer truck body life, combined with saving several hundred pounds in vehicle weight are yet another reason why BrandFX is a sustainable choice.
According to the US Department of Energy, every gallon of fuel burned adds a little less than twenty pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Because every 100 lbs of reduced vehicle weight reduces fuel consumption by approximately 2%, BrandFX has a true sustainability advantage. If a fleet replaced the standard steel service bodies on 1,000 chassis with BrandFX advanced composite truck bodies, it is estimated to eliminate approximately 8,500,000 lbs of carbon emissions per year from the atmosphere. This calculation is based upon 10,000 miles of operation per year.
