ALUMINUM BODYFRAME PROFILES

At Extralum we are convinced that aluminum can provide many advantages in commercial vehicle applications.

Currently, there is a wide variety of aluminum profiles for truck bodies of all kinds. The use of this material by the transport industry is not new, but this has not always been the case.

Advantages of aluminum applied on vehicle body-frame

Thanks to the advantages it offers, aluminum has been imposing itself in this area so that all profiles for truck bodies can be manufactured in aluminum.

LIGHTNESS

Using this material for the body-frame of trucks and trailers, it is estimated that the load capacity increases between 30 and 40% compared to old steel and wood trucks.

SUSTAINABILITY

In addition to the savings produced in fuel due to its lightness, the life cycle of aluminum is circular. This means that at the end of its useful life it can be used 100% as raw material

DURABILITY

The properties of aluminum make truck bodies more durable and the investment in the material pays for itself over time.

MAINTENANCE

The maintenance cost of an aluminum truck body remains well below traditional structures, as aluminum does not rust and its surface treatments are extremely durable.

Applications:

These aluminum profiles for vehicle bodies can be used for all types of trucks and trailers; sidewalls, refrigerated trucks, dump trucks, moving floors, etc.
